My mom was released from the hospital Saturday and is resting comfortably. However according to her doctor, he feels that she needs a pace maker for her heart. But.....because she isn't strong enough to endure the surgery, he doesn't recommended it. After having a family discussion, we agreed with my mom's doctor as well and will only agree to surgery if her condition deteriorates and surgery is the only answer. I want to thank everyone for all of your kind words! I am so blessed to have met some of the best people in the world...I truly am... and thank you all so very much!!
After a long and much needed nap, I was more than anxious to return to my crafting room. I tell ya' just siting at my table and creating something really helped to relax my mind.
My first card features Lilah and she is from InStyle Stamps anime collection. I just love her sassy look! While making this card, I was clueless for a sentiment and left the area blank. However, as I am typing, the light bulb came on! I'm going to computer generate the words " Hold that thought!" for this card. (I think that I will give this card to my husband. *naughty snickering*
card details............
stamp InStyle Stamps, DP SU, c/s PTI, inks Copic Markers, flowers, gems and liquid glass
My second card is for Roses on Paper's challenge #8....make a quilt card!
I was totally clueless and decided not to make a card until I visited Rita's blog. (Rita's Little Corner) The moment I saw her beautiful quilted card, the wheels in my mind started cranking like crazy!
Rita got the idea from Diane Gibbs* and I thank both of them for the inspirations!!! I simply love this quilt and I wish that I had one life this in real life. The Tilda image is from the Magnolia Stamp Club. The design paper is all SU and the card stock is Papertrey Ink. The image is colored in with Copic Markers and the ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I also used flowers and buttons to embellish my card.
* Diane Gibbs blog is Stampin' With Di and Everyday This n' That
Have a super great day and thank you all so so much for stopping by!
Hugs

Oh my goodness Risa, both of these cards are absolutely amazing hun - LOVE the striking colours and image of the first one and the soft prettiness of the second one x
I'm glad to hear your mom is out of the hospital. I hope to she gets better. Surgery is always a difficult decision but if it improves her quality of life with little risk, I think it's a good idea.
Your card is AWESOME!! Hey, your layout is similar to my sketch for ISS today and we even used the same image and same colors.. .I think we were on the same wavelength. I created my card a few days ago. .maybe we were channeling one another! LOL!
Love your Tilda card too! It's fantastic. .such beautiful coloring!! Love the flowers too!! So pretty!
