Easter Cards from Friends

I just love happy mail!
This sweet card was sent from my friend, Carla.  Carla is on my Stampin' Up! team for 5 years, and have such a lovely friendship.

This second card is from my friend Christi Wroe who is also a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.
We met through the Demonstrator Planning Place - a facebook group for Stampin' Up! demonstrators. We were linked as soul mates because not only is our name the exact same, there were MANY other things we found n common. She invited me to join her Recipe Club and I guess the rest is history.  I look forward to meeting her some day.
This next card is also from one of the gals in the Recipe Club

The stamp set that Kay used is called YOU'RE INSPIRING. A beautiful Daffodil Stamp.
TODAY is the LAST DAY to place your online order and earn FREE product during SALE A BRATION.

This one is from my friend Bonnie

 This one is from Rita - one of the gals in my Recipe Club - check out the darling 3D easter eggs

And this one is from Donna G - one of the gals on my Stampin' Up! team.

The Cross

Two cards made using the Easter Cross Die that my friend bought me. It really is ALL ABOUT THE CROSS

The ladies tested their sponging skills when they made this Easter Card
Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie for the sun
Soft Sky, Marina Mist and Dapper Denim for the sky.
The hill was cut out of Crumb Cale and sponged with Always Artichoke

This one is my favorite! I used the retired starburst die as a mask to create the sky using Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango.
CELEBRATE is the die from the CELEBRATE YOU THINLITS DIES that you can get for FREE with a qualifying purchase

Sentimental Sunday

Our Sweet Sawyer is dealing with another "issue"
I was so thankful that Jess asked me to go with her when she brought him into the Children's Emergency.
OKAY - just so we get this straight - it wasn't an EMERGENCY, but his doctor was out of town and the office suggested Jess take him to the Children's Emergency.  We are so glad we did because he really got the best care there.
For several months Sawyers fingers and toes have been swelling up and turning purple. It would run in cycles where the swelling would go down then come back.
A couple weeks ago when the skin on his fingers started to split and fester that his teacher said he needed a doctors note before he could come back to class.
GOOD NEWS!! Doctor said nothing is wrong as far as being contagious/infectious!! So Thankful!!
On the other hand they were all stumped as too what is actually going on.
They kept sending in medical students to look at it because no one had ever seen something like this before.

Sawyer was such a brave little guy. He never cried when having his blood drawn, thanks to the freezing spray that they used.

 

 They were so great to bring in some food for them so they had a picnic right there on Sawyers bed

 Nor did he fuss when they came in to take Xrays

Lily was playing Peek-a-boo with the people passing by their room

 They both did so good - I couldn't be a more proud grandma

Okay, now here we go waiting to find out what really is causing this issue with his hands. It does not cause him pain and he is able to draw/color or pick up/play with toys as normal. The following week he saw a rheumatologist with more blood tests and more Xrays - and no answers.  

Next step - to see a dermatologist.

Please keep our little guy in your prayers.  Jess is due with baby #3 in a few short weeks so this is a lot on her plate too.

Thanks for stopping by!

Pretty Kitty Day 4

How would you like a crate full of kitties?

 How cute! This card was inspired by Laurence, and features the WOOD TEXTURES 6x6 Designer Paper Stack. I stamped the "FREE KITTENS" using the LABELER ALPHABET Stamp Set

This kitty is ready for a birthday party (inspired by Laura M)

I used BLUSHING BRIDE GLITTER PAPER and LEMON LIME TWIST GLIMMER PAPER, but for the Berry colored balloon I used DAZZLING DIAMONDS GLITTER PAPER and colored it with a sponge dauber and BERRY BURST Ink - Just a note - the Blushing Bride Glitter Paper is retired but it can easily be duplicated by coloring the Dazzling Diamonds Glitter Paper with a Sponge Dauber and Blushing Bride Ink.
