Star Card for OWH!!!

Hey guys!! I wanted to share my card for the Operation Write Home challenge. We were to use stars on our cards. I had made a card that was similar to this a couple of years ago. So I kinda used that as inspiration,because my brain couldn't think straight. We got some terrible news on Monday about my son's condition. I can't talk about it right now......I'm just too upset. I will be taking him to another doctor tomorrow. He will be doing another round of testing,so to get another opinion. I just ask for prayers for him and us. I really do not know how much more I can bear!!! Thanks for letting me rant.....hope your week has been better than mine!

Recipe for card :


Card stocks: Summer Sun,Taken With Teal,Ruby Red
Punches : Large and small star punches
Chocolate Chip Ribbon
Inks: Whisper White Craft and Chocolate Chip
Stamp Sets : A Little Somethin',Starstruck,and Doodle This
