HAPPY EASTER!

Happy Easter Friends!

When I enter a new blog posting, they don't show up until the following day.  So....even though today is Easter, you won't see this till tomorrow.  That's okay, I don't want to wait till next year to post this card.

The little chick is from Stampin Up.  It's adorable. The Happy Easter is an old stamp out of my stash.  The crossed paper strips are Stampin Up paper, as is the embossing folder used for the background.  I can't remember the name of the pouffy embellishment on the chick's chest, but it is by SU.  The inside stamp is also a stamp from my stash.  The chick is stamped again on the inside corner.  The card is kraft colored base and envelope.  I gave the card to Mom today.  She smiled, and that was the only smile we got out of her today, so we were happy that she liked her card, and that it made her happy.  She'll be 89 next month.  

Here's the inside of the card

  

Thanks for stopping by to visit.  I'll be back later with another card.  

Happy Easter!

A Get Well Card for Wendy

Hi Friends,

I'm sure you all must think I fell of the face of the earth, and I almost did.  I had cardiac surgery in February, and to make a long story short, ended up in ICU for three days because of uncontrolled bleeding.  I'm on the mend now, and not even using my cane these days.  It's been a long tough road, but I'm here!  Hubby was so worried, and I am blessed that he was at my side the whole time, and slept in a chair the entire time I was in ICU.  Well, enough of that.  Now on to the card.

I'm sorry I've been away from my blog for so long, but now you know why.  

We have new friends in California now.  Lee and Lois bought our Country Coach motor home, and we've kept in close contact with them.  They wrote and told us their daughter had been in an terrible accident and was in the hospital.  I made their daughter, Wendy, this card before I went to have my surgery.  

The owl is made with the Stampin up Owl punch.  I love that punch.  I embossed the background with a wood grain punch, and used a get well sentiment from my stamp stash.  Got the ribbon at Hobby Lobby.  I hope you like the card.  Wendy loved it....and so did her mom, Lois.

I'm slowly getting back to my stamping.  I'm so far behind on so many things.  Hadn't felt good for about a year, and with each passing day, I was getting worse.  We had no idea it was my heart.  We are thankful that my acupuncturist discovered the problem....and none too soon.  He retired 2 months after he found it.  Whew.....I'm blessed.

Thanks for stopping by, and thanks especially for being patient!  A very special thanks goes out to all my friends who were praying for me, and for the beautiful cards, flowers and gifts I received.  I can never thank you all enough.  

Love & Hugs, Geri xo
