Update

So my procedure went well. The doctor didn’t see anything obviously wrong, but he took some biopsies of my stomach and intestines to see if there is something going on. He did this as a precaution, but he thinks that everything will come out negative. Of course this leaves a huge question … what is wrong with me? I am still uncomfortable, but I think the pain is a bit better. I just keep hoping it will go away. I was able to get some work done today, which made me feel a little less guilty. Now I plan on taking it easy tonight and watching Dancing with the Stars, American Idol and House with the hubs. Speaking of my Mike, he has been amazing. He even stayed with me during the procedure when I was knocked out. He is a super man and the sweetest guy I know. I am definitely lucky to have him :).

I haven’t been able to make my usual blog rounds, or comment back to people as I like to do, so I wanted to do a big group thank you here. You guys are so sweet and wonderful. Your comments have been little pick me ups during this scary time. It really does mean so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #5

So, tomorrow I am going in for a diagnostic procedure. I’ll be put under that twilight anesthesia. Hopefully after that I will know more about what is wrong. I want to thank you guys so much for all of your well wishes. I can’t tell you how much it means to me. 

Even though I am really not feeling well, I decided to make a card for the challenge since making cards makes me happy! I kind of had a hard time with this one. I think it would have helped if I actually had dark grey card stock! Here is the challenge:
Here is my card:

I used raspberry fizz card stock, and I clear embossed polka dots from polka dot basics on to it.
I used my quickutz silhouette to cut out the hibiscus (medium pink) piece. I decided to use the negative of my thought bubble to try something different. I backed it with some white card stock and stamped my sentiment in the dark grey color.
Another cutie from my cute stamps! I decided to give this elephant raspberry fizz (bright pink) polka dots while outlining him in dark grey. Who wouldn’t want to see a hot pink polka dotted elephant?! 🙂
I made a dark grey scalloped border for my medium pink piece by coloring white card stock with a copic marker.

I just had to use the sentiment “wish big” since there is an elephant there! I love how there are so many coordinating polka dots on this card: the open ones on the card base, the dots on the elephant, and even the dots on the way to the thought bubble!
Thank you so much for visiting!
Have an amazing day,

Color Inspiration Challenge #51

I just love these challenges! I decided to make a card for my wonderful friends D & M’s little girl. She is the cutest thing ever! I thought these colors were perfect for a sweet little girl. Here is the challenge:

Here is my card:

I made this circle card using my quickutz silhouette and Kristina Werner’s card shapes from Two Peas. I love circle cards!
The mustard circular frame was dry embossed with the swiss dots cuttlebug folder. I love that thing!

I used alphabet sets from Making Memories and Papertrey Ink to make my sentiment. I thought she might recognize her name and numbers, so that was more fun than “happy birthday”!

The flowers have the mini basic grey brads through them. How cute are they?! So tiny!

The monkey is from My Cute Stamps. I colored them in with copics and popped them up on foam dimensionals. I really wanted it to look like they were “monkeying around”.

I tied a brown satin ribbon through the top for some more cuteness! I can’t wait to hear how this little girl and her parents react to the card! 🙂 I think they will love it! (They call her monkey :).)
Thank you so much for visiting!
Have an amazing day,
