Thank you for your friendship...

Hello friends. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the sweet comments on my last post. I am taking things one day at a time. Some good days, some bad. I was overwhelmed by your support and I want to say thank you to each and every one of you for your friendship. Just look at my mantle filled with cards from my dear friends and family. I'm feeling the love...

I thought it was time to share something crafty. I made a card set using the "kissing" stamp technique. I started out with THIS stamp...

I inked it with different Hero Chalk Inks (Cerulean, Poppy, Iris, Grass, and Punch) and then pressed it on top of THIS stamp...

which was already inked with black ink. I then cut the image out with a scallop square die and attached it to each card finishing it off with some buttons and a sentiment....
A closeup of the "kissing" ...I thought this set was a perfect thing to share today because I want to say THANK YOU for your friendship dear blog readers.

Thanks for stopping by! Big hugs and KISSES. ;)

My heart is broken.

I've debated if I should share here about some recent events and I've decided to because I need support. I really want this blog to be a "happy" place where you can find inspiration, share, nothing heavy. However, I believe in the power of prayer, and I'm asking for some from you (if you are the praying kind).

My husband and I have tried to have a baby for about six years. It has been a long and frustrating journey. Last month I found out I was pregnant. We were over the moon but decided to hold off on spreading the news since I was already spotting. We had an ultrasound yesterday that confirmed it was an ectopic pregnancy. Over the next few days, I will lose the baby.

Nothing can prepare a person for this. I know I'm not the only one who has struggled with infertility but to be on this roller coaster and then have this as our outcome is heartbreaking.

Another reason for sharing this is I've always been the type of person to struggle alone. I don't want to burden anyone and I've always had the mentality that I can tough it out by myself. I finally realized that I can't. I need support.

So, this is the reason for my break from the blog. I hope to come back to it soon because I love to share but right now I'm not ready.

Kids V-Day Cards-Day 3&4

Hi! Back today with a few more card ideas for you. The first one showcases THIS stamp set from Papertrey Ink (that I've had for months and haven't played with until now!) and lot of yummy Hero Arts ink colors...

Here's another simple card using some super cute Martha Stewart envelopes that I've been hoarding...

The inside reads, "filled with lots of love" .

That's all I've got for now. I hope you had a fabulous weekend. Thanks for stopping by! :)
