FSS Tattered Rose Spray

Hello my friends. I am back! I decided to take a few days off work this week and really thought I would get to play quite a bit...well, my days went FAST and the days were so beautiful outside that I just couldn't stay in! On Tuesday afternoon I went to see my very good friend Stef...aka Glitterbabe! We have not seen each other for some time and we live soooo close...but we had a wonderful afternoon catching up. On Tuesday night we got two of our grandsons and sat for them through Wednesday...On Thursday I worked outside in the yard ALL day and on Friday I had a lovely visit from my some family members and got some more yard work done. Today...it is raining and cold...so I thought it was a good time to sit down with some of the flowers I had mentioned I was going to play with. Tracey has some beautiful SVG files in her FSS Tattered Rose Spray and Heart Cutting File Set. I used the MTC files and cut on the cricut. I cut my flowers out on white paper and inked them up to make them the color they are.

And here is my finished card....which was inspired by Kittie...who has some lovely lovely designs.

One more thing...I wanted to update you on my niece's cancer diagnosis...her trip to Loyola went very well on Wednesday...she will need some surgery to remove her cervix and uterus...the doctor is hopeful that is all that will be needed. What wonderful news...thanks to all who said prayers for her. Well, hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I am off to do some more playing...and will be by to visit all of you who have left some love!

HUGS!

FSS You are in my thoughts

Hello my dear friends...I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. I thank all of you who have been so kind to leave me some love and thoughts on my creations. Today's card was created with a heavy heart. Over the weekend my 36 year old niece came to me with bad news...she has been diagnosed with cervical cancer. Being a cancer survivor myself, I am devastated for her...but she is a tough young lady and she will fight this as I did and will beat it. She knows she will have my support and encouragement throughout her battle. My family has been hit hard by cancer...lost both my parents within 3 weeks of each other to the disease, I have had it, one of my brothers is also a survivor...and now my dear niece. Please say a prayer for her...this card was created for her. The image is one of Tracey's new images that are available in the store NOW! This image as with many of Tracey's beauties comes colored or uncolored! You have to check out these wonderful images. The sentiment is also Tracey's. I added a little glimmer to the image with Stickles but that was about all...I just hate to take away from the beauty of the image. The embossing folder that I used is Flourish and Floral #2 from Sizzix, the purple rhinestones are from Pizzazz Aplenty and the corner punch is a Paper Shaper punch. I hope you like it...kind of simple in design but serene. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by...I appreciate each of you!

HUGS!
