Hi everyone, to my regular lovely's, and to everyone that just pops in.
Sorry I haven't been blogging for a while, not even on Sue's blog. Yet again we have had sad news, but about my daughters best friend Anthea who was Claire's Maid of Honor in April. She has been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. We are all in a state of shock, but we are all thinking positive thoughts. She WILL get through this.
I would like to say a big thank you to Steph, Margaret and Hazel for all the positive thoughts too on my email.
Thank goodness for crafting. I think of it as my comfort blanket, where I can escape difficult issues. What a luxury to have.
I have made this card with no bows or big handmade flowers and flouncy butterflies , I have gone down the stamping, embossing and Mica powders line, got really mucky but had a whale of a time.
I hope you like it.

Hi Tina,
ReplyDeleteIn full agreement with the others. You and your family have been going through a really bad time, but you must be positive through it all.

Hi Tina

So sorry to hear about Anthea. What a shock for you all. Fingers and everything else crossed for her and my goodness, you're due some good news after the year you have had.
Different card for you, as you say but delightful non the less.
Hope Claire is feeling better.

Hello Tina, sorry for not looking in but couldn't find your blog, so had to go on Sues blog till I found your name ,
ReplyDeleteThis card is gorgeous you are so clever I love the colours you have done well worth getting mucky for its beautiful
I have everything crossed for Anthea's recovery you have all had such horrible time lately.
Sending BIG HUGS too you all. Love Lynda xx
Tina, so sad to read this distressing post about your daughter's friend. So many medical miracles can take place, and with lots of prayer & positive energy, I'll pray that this young lady gets through this difficult time. And that those who love her will too, and can keep strong for her to lean on when she needs to. I'm loving your card. The embossing looks as though it's done on metal, with all the wonderful sparkles of the mica. I like the scene inside the oval too, and the very inspiring sentiment. What beautiful cards you've shared. So glad that Hazel put your link in so that I could find you! Hugs
