hang in there ♥.

hang in there ♥.


When I saw the new Mama Elephant set, "up and away," I had to have it.  It is just so darn cute!  It's been awhile since I've crafted with something other than design team stuff.  So this one's just for fun:

hang in there ♥.


Actually, more than just fun.  I mentioned awhile ago on my blog that Sofia will have to undergo double knee surgery to correct a congenital problem.  We've been on the waiting list for about 9 months, but come end of August, our whole family will be turned upside down a bit.  Double casts, with a bar in between, for about 6 weeks.  My heart is breaking just thinking about it, but I know it will improve her quality of life in the long run.  I'm committing to craft a whole slew of cards for her, to brighten her spirits while she's bedridden.  They might not all be as elaborate as this one, but they will all be heartfelt.  You may see a series of "get well soon" cards pop up on the blog...

hang in there ♥.

I stamped, colored and cut out the little animals, and stamped the balloons flat onto the white mat.

hang in there ♥.

that little monkey is my fave ♥.

Have a great day!

  5. Love this adorable card. I have thought about Sofia everyday since you told me you got your dates thankfully kids are incredibly resilient, I hope she recovers quickly. On a positive note it will give the girls some alone time, Maia will surly love to play nurse to her big sister.

  6. What a fun card! Our momma hearts always hurt when our kidlets are hurting. They are stronger than we know though. I will be sending positive thoughts your way in August.
