Hang in There!

Hello everyone!

I'm participating in a couple of things today,

PTI's MIM with Ashley, and Masking Sentiments,

and a blog hop fundraiser for Lea Lawson's son, called, Layton's legacy,

The fundraiser is to supply the NICU in Minnesota, Starbucks cards

for parents who have children there.

Ashley shows us some masking tricks, and I used them to create a special card

for someone to receive at the card drive. 

I'm happy to let them know there are those who care.

My own granddaughter was born at 29 weeks.

We have an amazing children's hospital her in Central CA, and Reagan 

spent 5 weeks there. The care she received in the NICU was exceptional,

and saved her life. 

I thank God for her and those whose training and care gave us our beautiful Reagan!

A Birthday Card

This week's MIM, Betsy Veldman shows us how to combine 

Stenciling and Masking, for our one layer cards.

Betsy's video was a simple way to create a card that will 

easily go through the mail.

I have a recipient  in mind for this card. Her birthday is on Thursday.

It just might make it!

Stencil make with a die from Nostalgic Notions.
