Creative inspiration for my cousin

That was a fun post. I love the benefits of being an angel or just plain shopping with angels:)

Today I wanted to share a card I made for my cousin Jimmy. You see Jimmy had a brain tumor when he was about ten years old. Now he is close to 40 and it came back, in some capacity. He is in the hospital struggling after three hard surgeries. So please say a prayer for his comfort and peace:) WE ARE PRAYIN FOR YA JIM!

This weekend Grandma came to get Maddie and Adam for a sleepover since they were visiting Jim at the hospital and its close to our house. They met me at work Sunday to drop the kids off and I sent this card with a cute pink hippo that has a voice inside, and screams something like hugs and kisses to you. Its corny, but it must be tough for him right now. I hope he is feeling better really soon and can go home. BTW the tumor had no cancer! Thank you God.

The card I have made him is with our beautiful Juliette papers, and our new chocolaty brown cardstock for a base. I also used the burnt umber ink pad which I adore! Even the ribbon coordinates, papers and inks. Its so easy. the set? Abundance is...and its so good for so many occasions. I hope you like it! I did use the scorpal of course for the center fold. Now that its a habit? I use it all the time and love the results. No more crooked bent edges for this angel:)

EXCITING new paper project for Twin Cities Stamping Gala

This past week was a lot of fun and a lot of trauma. Here is a short version for you to see what I mean. First of all, my beautiful daughters went to the dance at school. This was an amazing night and I was super proud of them. It was also fun since I got to chaparone again. Maia has been on the Cooper Dance Team for the last four years and this being her last in high school it was important for me to be there . Its so weird that they are growing up and she will be moving onto grown up life soon:( sniff sniff..

So that was on February 23rd. Then on the next Thursday Sara was in a bad accident and she was hurt by the airbag. That is so hard to watch your babies in pain and hurting. Poor girlie:( She is feeling the prayers, and her face abrasions are really starting to heal. I have no idea how much will stay, or how many internal injuries will show up more but I am grateful that she is here and alive. I love you Sara...

ok, the next night was Maias dance team banquet and we had a BLAST! This was a lot of fun since my friends catered it amazingly and I got to make the graduating senior gifts. These photos show off Maias album and those of her friends too. There are four girls graduating and they are so awesome. they all have big plans for the future and its great to see them growing up so much...

Also this album is one class we are featuring at the Twin Cities Stamping Gala in Brooklyn Center this spring. My team the Angelettes and I are working hard to create GREAT projects for our classes and booth. The convention is March 29th from 6-10 pm, and March 29th from 10-5. We are holding 6 brand new classes too. I will be loading project photos soon to this and my team blog, The Angelettes. Invite your friends for the convention cause its going to be a TON of fun!

If you would like to take the class there its a $25 fee, and includes this awesome 5x7 tin album, with the papers and everything to complete. Its going to make a super graduation gift for some of Maias friends this year and would also be a great baby gift, or just about any themed album.
