Acetate Flower Layover
Hope you had a great Mother’s Day! Quickie post because I NEED to stamp! Im having with-drawls!
We went to lunch and the second we got there Alexa got sick again :C She said she felt fine after, and wanted to go in and eat. We thought maybe it was the car ride.
NOPE! The second her food got to the table-it was back outside for her. So we quickly packed it up and left.
Poor kid. She seems OK again today. I have no idea what is going on. That is the real life of a mom isn’t it! Then Amber felt yucky.
Jay felt so bad because the day was far from peaceful. I said there are worse things than Alexa getting sick at lunch. Not having her would be so much worse. So we all went home, and actually took a nap! LOL! What can you do.
Needless to say I haven’t gotten much done. But I have my fingers crossed for today.
At least I survived the insanity of last week/weekend.
Here is one sample I can share
Laugh in Flowers
This card above was given to Jay’s grandmother for Mother’s Day.
I used some paper from American Crafts, and found accidentally that flower from- In the Meadow layers over the open image perfectly!
So I stamped the image on an acetate tag, then used my Poppin StazOn technique for the greenery. I applied dazzling diamonds onto the top white part, rather than color it. I think its REALLY stunning.
THEN-I stamped the flourish part in olive, onto vellum cardstock-then punched out my butterfly!! Added some bling to the body and it was pretty well done!
The sentiment was stamped in olive as well. I then used my color spritzer tool for a splotch of color.
I just LOVE clean, crisp simple elegance!
OK I am off to get inking.
I’ll check in with you all soon!

“Stunning” is an understatement! Wow!

I hope Alexa is feeling better. And you go and get to stamping. It will make you feel better.

Lauren,
I’m so sorry to hear Alexa was sick. I love the way that you view life. Yes, there are much worse things. I’m glad you at least had a chance to take a nap.

Me too… and you do it so well! It’s a gorgeous card! Love that little butterfly… so pretty!
I’m so sorry Alexa is sick and Amber too. Now would not be a good time to get the flu bug in your house. Praying you all feel better soon!
Big Hugs to all of you!
Great card!
Sorry Alexa got sick at lunch…just the thought of going out to eat is a bonus on Mother’s day, at least you brought it home! I hope it’s nothing…will it affect Weds.? Isn’t this the last round? Well wishes for you and your family!
Hi Lauren, so sorry to hear Alexa felt sick yesterday, and then for Amber to be sick too, what a day! But like you said it’s part of being a mom. I hope the girls will be feeling better real quick. I know you said Alexa is getting her last chemo this week- so I hope that goes without too many issues. I’ll be praying for you and your family.
Lauren, I think stunning is the perfect word to describe this card! Hope all of you feel better soon!
OH NO…I’m sorry to hear Alexa got sick again! eek. I hope it’s made it’s final appearance…and that it doesn’t make it’s way around the house! YIKES
