BD & "Just Because" card....

Made these 2 cards yesterday, I stamped these images from Kyoko's stamp stash!!  DP from scrap box & all other CS is from SU.   On the purple card I used dimensional dots on the hat, see side profile pic.  I got a wonderful rak & Anniversary gift from Linda that I will share next post.  Hubby leaves tomorrow to Texas to be with his Sister & Paul.  Please continue to pray for Paul, (B IL)he seems to be stable & so far has been very comfortable in Hospice.  I tried to download as many pictures as I could so that I will have thing's to post the next week or so, having my hubby take my camera.  Do I trust him with it?  Not really....but hey, he breaks it or "misplaces it", he has to buy me a NEW one!!  LOL

Happy Stamping...  Hugs~ Denise

Baby Cards...

My neice is having a baby boy next month, so I made this card for her shower.  I got this cute paper from Joy @ Tamikos.  This image is so cute I like that it matches the paper so perfect.  I colored with my Copics, then mounted it on a oval that I embossed .  Added buttons...got to have buttons!   LOL

Once baby is born, this will be the card I will give her.  She is naming him Stetson, so I thought this image was perfect, the cowboy hat.   

Got to talk to my BIL today, he was in good spirits, thanks again for all the prayers.  He is doing well in Hospice, sends you all Thanks for the prayers.  My hubby will be leaving in a few days to Texas to spend some time with Paul.

RAKS

Sorry, I have been going through a lot & have been behind on some post, but want you all to know I appreciate all the prayers for my BIL & my Family. Love you girls.

Here's the raks I have received weeks ago, I know I am so behind in posting them, but I appreciate them ALL. This first one is from Kim like the way she folded the HK paper to make that pattern, also love the stamp & flowers. This next Beautiful "Strawberry" card came from Sweet Cami, look at the way she finished the inside! WOW

This next one came from Joy, love the images & the cute Tinkerbell tablet, I sure needed that to keep in my purse.

This next one came from Jodi, I love the oriental Anya stamp , and I already used the GC for Roses on Paper!!

This cute box with Rose was filled with those awesome goodies came from Kyoko, she came to spend some time with Jamee & I to craft. Linda & Jodi was also with us. Linda gave me the awesome TGF stamp set, love those babies, also using the Tinkerbell pen on my craft bag. Thanks so much for the company girls & for the goodies.

I got the cutest HB creations from Enjoli! So precious, I don't want to use the tablet, it is too nice.....Thanks Enjoli, what a great surprise. Love the pink & red paper.

I have creating a few cards that I had to get done, I will try to post more often, until then have a nice week & thanks again for being a friend & blogging buddy!

HUGS~ Denise

Inktegrity Images by Joni

I have a lot to share, but will spread it out throughout the week. First of all I want to THANK all of you for the prayers for my dear BIL. He is still holding on & told his oncologist today "They say I'm sick & dying, but I don't feel it" It's the power of God! Keep up the prayers my dear friends.

I want to share these cards I made this weekend using digi images by Joni over at Inktegrity. Check out her blog & see all the cute creations using her images. I am making a set of thank you baby cards for my niece with this sweet baby boy image, I'll post the rest at a later time. I also love this cute ladybug image.

This All Star image is darling. I put some stickles on the stars to give it some bling!

I went to my first Glama Gurl meeting today, had Lot's of fun. Hope you all had a great & Fun weekend. Come back to see the awesome raks I have gotten over the past week from such sweet & thoughtful ladies.

God Bless you all...Hugs~ Denise

Long Post.....

As some of you know from a previous post, my Brother in law had surgery for a brain tumor a few weeks ago, he did well & went home in 5 days, but the results of the tumor was a Glioblastoma, a very aggressive type of cancer, he was suppose to start Chemo & radiation today, but a week ago he started having headaches & was flown to Baylor/Dallas (that's where surgery was) and the small piece of the tumor that they could not get out has grown 3 times in size in the 3 weeks! He has a lot of swelling in his brain & cannot receive therapy. They have flown him to Mount Vernon (Texas) and is now in Hospice. It is 20 minutes from their home in Scroggins. We are devastated & cry daily, but also pray!! I have made arrangements for my husband to fly back home to give his sister some support, and hopefully Paul will still be able to recognize him in 2 weeks. I talked to him today & he seemed in good spirits & even told me " I have to get better so I can come to Hawaii & see you folks again" talk about breaking my heart....

I made this card to send to my sis in law, to let her know we are there for her, and to send her some love & hugs. I used a Tilda image I got from Jodi. The next card is also made with a Tilda image that I got from Cami, and the idea of her sitting in the flowers was from Jodi. She showed me this idea this weekend. I used different colors to make it look cheerful. Cut the layer pieces with my nesties, and embossed with Cuttle bug folders, I also used the larger dew drops that I got from Jen at Little C's. Took a side profile pic so that you can see the stickles on her wings.

These next 2 cards are made with Nancy Kubo images.

I have a "play date" in a few weeks & need to have 2 cards for a swap that Cami will put together for us. These were fast & easy to make, I hope the recipient likes them

I told you this was a long post! I ask that you keep my Sister in law & Brother in law in your prayers. I have been crafting a lot to keep my mind off things & relieve stress, but it's been Tough!

Sweetie

Joni from Inktegrity has the cutest digi images. She has this one for free that I pick up from her blog. I love watermelon, so when I saw this image I had to create with it. Joni just came out with new sports images, hop on over to her blog and check them out! I will be creating with one of her "All Star" images next. The sentiment stamp is from Dandelion Designs.

Beautiful flowers are from Roses on Paper.
