So I was *delighted* when I saw the theme for this month's blog hop, and had to get on it. So many beautiful colour combos.
Check them out- aren't they just a breath of fresh air?!
And here is a picture of my card- I didn't have any navy card stock, so I made some by rubbing my HA shadow ink Navy ink pad all over a white piece of card. I then clear embossed some stars, and gold embossed The Star in the corner. I gold embossed the sentiment from PTI's Beautiful Blessings: Holiday on a die cut panel of melon mambo card stock. I also heat embossed just the word 'peace' on some Rich Razzleberry card stock and cut it out and popped it up on a banner shape (hand-cut).
Some blue sequins finished it all off before I popped up the whole front panel on a black card base.
it has been a while since my last post, but things have been a little crazy around here with me being really REALLY sick, and then my little girl catching it the following week (and her first ever treatment with anti-biotics *sniff*). And all this while I was in the early stages of pregnancy. And to top it all off, I heard on Tuesday that my latest scans showed that little bubby had no heartbeat. I guess it was all too much for our little angel to bear. I was 9 weeks along.
So, I've taken the rest of the week off to relax and come to grips with everything. I am doing well (so far…), and am grateful for all the women before me who have been open enough to relate their experiences with miscarriage. I am so grateful to know I am not alone. It's not an easy thing to talk about, but I think its important. Especially since we've just observed Pregnancy and Infant Loss Day on October 15.
Still, if there was ever a day for papercraft therapy, today would be it, don't you think? And so thats what I did :) It did relax me and cheer me up somewhat.
About 3 hours after I told her my sad news, I received a bunch of 12 long stemmed pink roses from my bestie Denise…So I think I'll send her this card.
