Sending Prayers

I'm here today with a card I created for a Church member who just lost her husband. I presume most of us don't care to make Sympathy Cards, but know that the deceased family is blessed by receiving them and understanding their loved one is remembered.

This particular card is being posted to the Flower Challenge blog the challenge was to use PINK and I used an oval instead of a Circle for the sentiment.

PRODUCTS USED:

HAND-PENNED PETALS STAMP AND MATCHING DIE CUTS

SU HAND PENNED PETALS DSP

SENTIMENT: MFT DEEPEST SYMPATHY

SU GOLD & WHITE THIN RIBBON

WOW GOLD EMBOSSING POWDER, MEMENTO BLACK INK, WINK OF STELLA

SU GOLD JEWELS

SU STITCHED SHAPES

SU WATERCOLOR PENCILS FOR IMAGE; FLIRTY FLAMINGO, GRANNY APPLE GREEN

Have a blessed and fruitful day.

Rings of Love Cards

Here are two more cards that I created using several days ago still using the DSP Rings of Love. On the first card, the base was SU Soft Suede and the paper accenting the sentiment was a Burlap  Paper bought at Hobby Lobby. This will be put into my MALE card bin. The sentiment is MFT Big Birthday.

For this particular card, I still used another pattern from Rings of Love accenting the background with the same Burlp paper from Hobby Lobby and place on a Soft Suede card base. Unfortunately, I have forgotten what Stamp Sentiment  I used.  That's what happens when you don't take the time to write it down! 

UPDATE: I did go for my appointment yesterday with the Electrophysiologist and I'm pleased to say that the Beta Blocker I am on is doing its job. If I have recurring symptoms I'll contact him and be revalidated. I am so blessed the Lord answered my prayer.

 That will be all for today. Have a great one and I hope you stop by and take a peek!

Rings of Love DSP Cards

Here are several cards I just created and wanted to share them here on my blog.

Several weeks ago I received my SU order and this paper. I was determined to us it too make simple cards using the different patterns in this 12x12 stack; "Rings of Love DSP" Staying focused and simple to jump my creativity.

I looked on YouTube seeing what SU demonstrators created with using is DSP. I was happy to come across ,Create with Terri Gaines. Thank you Terri for the inspiration!

My Health 

I have recently been able to get back to making cards after a time of not feeling well for almost 7 weeks. I was experiencing heart palpatations, dizziness, and shortness of breathe everyday for weeks. I keep thinking it would pass, but it did not. I was able to be up and around for about 15 mins. then would have sit down for 15-20 minutes, do a few things then have to rest again. It was tiring and was causing depression. I lost interest in almost all that I cared about doing.

I had my annual Checkup and was told I needed to see a Cardiologist. After seeing him I was sent to have a battery of tests which were diagnosed as A Fib and was put on a Beta Blocker. Thankfully, the medication made a world of difference. I have a consultation with a Cardiac Electrophysiologist this Wednesday to see if an ablation needs to be done.

I apologize for the lengthy update on my health and lack of card making, but I wanted explain why I was AOL and encourage anyone who is having unusual symptons, maybe not like mine, but not feeling yourself , to contact you PCP.
