Hey there Bleeps!
 Today's card isn't one you like to make....but sometimes it has to be done. My husband's uncle isn't doing well.....they have called hospice in and pretty much said it could be anytime now. So, I thought I'd make a card, so that way when he does pass.....we can just mail it out....since they live out of state. I know it's part of life.....we are only here for a moment....but it never gets easy seeing someone you love and care about leave. Especially, when they linger on, so hard to watch our loved ones suffer. Please keep Todd's Aunt Billie and their family in your prayers ....no matter how old they are and even though they have lived a full life, it's still hurts!
 I kept the card pretty simple and started to add some ribbon.....but decided against it.....hope you like it.
 Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend ;)

SSCB Stetch #40

Hello Bleeps(blog peeps!)
I had to make a sad card today for someone that I know. She just found out she has breast cancer. Please keep Tammy in your prayers. She has very good spirits,which is awesome! I was kinda 'stuck' so I used the challenge sketch over at Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog. I did change the sketch a tad....but not much. It took me awhile to get the measurements just right. I hope you like it,even though it's for a sad occasion. Thank you for stopping by and have a great day! ;)

Vintage Challenge!

I made this card for a new blog I found called "Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog". The challenge was to do a vintage theme. This is my first time to participate in one of their challenges. So,I hope I'm doing this right! I love vintage anything....but today I was a little stumped, probably because I've still been trying to fix my blog!!! I can't figure it out...and it's driving me crazy!!! To read more on how you can help me fix my blog,click here!!! So I just started playing around with the new Distressing Essentials Kit from SU! and I literally 'threw' this card together. I didn't really give it a thought, like I normally try to do!! Oh,well....it came out OK enough.

I needed a 'thinking of you card' for a dear sweet lady who just found out she has cancer. Please keep Kathy in your prayers....she's a breast cancer survivor and now just found out she has cancer in her intestines!!! I hate cancer....I know things don't always go our way....God's way is perfect.....but we don't always understand the WHY......but I know that, NO PAIN is Wasted!! So,just please pray for her and her family!!! Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great rest of the weekend.....stay cool!!! ;)
