You Can Kick This

There’s a young man from our church who is going through a pretty tough time right now.  He was on a week long break from a pro football team, and was having shoulder pain.  He went in for tests and was diagnosed with AML (acute myeloid leukemia).

Our pastor’s wife started a “card train” where we could sign up to send Mitchell a card on a specific day.  Our hope was that he would receive a card every day to show him we were thinking about him and keeping him in our prayers.

I made this card to send on my assigned day.  The football spins and moves on the track through the goal posts.  I hope he liked it!

If you would like to learn more about Mitchell or help with his medical expenses, you can get more information here.  I’m sure any donation would be much appreciated.

Thanks for stopping by.

 

Lift Me Up

Our last card from March stamp club, this one uses the Lift Me Up bundle.  It also uses the Carried Away DSP which you can get FREE with any $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration.  I really like this paper!  It looks like the view you’d see from the hot air balloon, with houses, roads, clouds, even deer, bicycles and swing sets!

Beautiful You

This is a card from my January Cards & More classes.  We made 3 of these, plus 3 of two other designs, and a bonus project.

I actually won this stamp set at OnStage Atlanta, and wasn’t excited by it.  I almost gave it away!!  But, then they did a demonstration using the set, and it totally changed my mind.  I’m so glad I didn’t give it away.  I would hate to have had to buy a replacement!

Many times, I see something in the catalog and don’t really care for it, but then the awesomely creative demonstrators get hold of it and make samples, and I have to have it!  Does that ever happen to you?
