7 Kids Crafts: I hold you in my heart

Hello Everyone,

Many people don't talk about it- at least I haven't heard much people talk about their experience. I have heard some say it happened to them at some point but that is it. I know that it can be too difficult to share... Sometimes it's a fast process and sometimes it's a long process both physically and emotionally. Everyone deals with their loss in different ways and some always have a feeling of a void. So, this time I'd like to share a card with Miscarriage and Stillbirth in mind. I chose the Miscarriage Awareness colors. pink and blue. This clear stamp set was sent to me by Kelly with the rest of my January Design Team Package goodies and it was the first stamp I knew what I wanted to create right away. This stamp set is called Visible Image clear stamp set, Bloom and Grow. The Distress Oxides I actually purchased from 7kidscrafts.com before I became a DT member and I was very excited to play with them.

Crafting for Strangers TGF

Hello Everyone!

Haven't posted in a while... been a little busy.... but found a little time to make a card for a little stranger. Her name is Addie Fausett and she's just 6 years old. Addie suffers from an extensive atrophy in her brain and her doctors and family believe this may be her last Christmas. Addy and her family wish to have people send her Christmas cards so this is what I came up with.

I colored her with Copics.

I found this paper at Michaels and it was on sale for about $7-$8 (at 60%)

The stamp is Holiday Anya 4 and I found her at

My crafty friend BreAnn McFarland sent me the link

and you can see the info here too.

I hope that even though everyone is busy we can
find a little time for someone else rather than our own... it'll feel nice in the end. :)

Thanks for visiting.

SBS DT: Thanks Rachel and Furry pals

Hello there crafty world!

Hope you all are having a good day/evening. Today I'm showcasing a thank you card that I made using http://simplybstamps.net/item_2999/Rachel-and-Furry-Pals-Digis.htm. Isn't she so pretty? I'm not a dog person... kind of scared of dogs but I'll sit still like a totem pole just so they won't bark or bite. Even though I'm a tad bit scared of dogs there are some that have been very sweet and very very cute. I have a few friends who have doggie friends or doggie kids really LOL and they were very nice to me even though I get a little paranoid around them.

So enough of that... here is my card and I really tried to give the furry pals a nice coat. The colors were inspired by one of my online crafty buddies BreAnn's doggie kids. heehee.

This card I have made with a friend in mine.

 I colored this image with copic maers

                       I used flowers that were sent to me  by Roz and some by Carmen.                               

Here is a close up.

This card is for a PHriend (BreAnn McFarland) who was diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension as
a child but still living with this illness.
Also the reason I chose these colors. Periwinkle is the official color but different purples can
be used to make cards or be worn for awareness.
You can learn more about this illness at  http://www.phassociation.org/AwarenessMonth

BreAnn had sent me a RAK twice already and I've been making some cards for her along with some crafty goodies. This card is for her but some will be for her to give to her PHriends.
I hope you like my card.

Thank you very much for visiting!!!
