About Me

My photo
I am a stay-at-home mom. I have been married to my handsome and wonderful husband for over 14 years. Right now he's battling stomach/esophagus cancer. So I do my best to craft when I can. I have two wonderful boys. My oldest, Garett, is 24 and served 5 years in the Navy. He's been home since the beginning of the year (2014). We are very proud of him. My youngest, "DJ", is 13 and in the 8th grade. I have two Border Collie mix dogs (Koda and Rugu), one Calico cat (Hydie), one orange Tabby cat (Bosley), one Tea Cup Chihuahua (Gigi...I LOVE her sooo much), a Chiweinnie (Lily....sweetest dog ever), and a Jack Russell/Chihuahua (Connor....AAALL boy).

Unity {be inspired} Challenge

Funny thing, after finishing this card, I didn't really realize that the "be inspired" matched my sentiment.

I always loved the "white on white" technique, but thought it was too weddingish.  But when faced with two different challenges...I knew I could make it work for what I wanted to do.

My best friend's daughter is fighting the early stages of Lupus.  She's only 17.  But she is a strong angel and is determined to fight and get past the worse part of the disease...the beginning.  Her favorite color is purple....so she gets Lavender in her card.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Both Unity.  Flower Strip (August 2011 KOM), Sentiment (Naturally You).

Punches & Dies:  Sizzix (Leaf Branch, Flowers (Tim Holtz Tattered Roses), Scalloped Circle Framelits), Martha Stewart (Pine Branches), EKSuccess (Lattice Strip), Memory Box (Butterfly - Vivienne)

Misc:  Ribbon (Offray Organza/Satin), Ink (Lavender - Studio G, Black - Hampton Arts a la Mode), Stickles (Star Dust, Lavender), Shimmer Gel Pen (purple), Brad.

Thanks for looking :)

    Beautifully done with a perfect message, Sheryl! Thanks for sharing it with us at the Simon Says Stamp challenge this week! (And would you please consider not using that word verification? It is SO hard to decipher)
