Easel Card

My Nephew turned 13 in this last month and I wanted to make a cute fun card for him. He loves to ride 4 wheelers and motor cycles and such, so wanted to use this cute cut from Campin critters. Did not want to make the standard card so decided to make a easel card. Was the first time I have made a easel card, I enjoyed making something different. So here is the card its pretty simple, did not want to over do it.

 

The sentiment is from a dollar stamp at Michael's I just taped off the image it was super close to the saying and I just wanted the saying from the stamp. I also used the full stamp for another card I will post next.

Here is the side view

WOW July almost over!

Wow is it me or did July seem to fly by! Had lots of bithday's this last month between family and friends. But I kinda enjoyed staying busy crafting :) Which is good cause its super hot outside here in Texas not a lot you want to do outside...lol I am still biking but I am not going till like 730 when its cooled down some. And I make sure to take a full bottle of water, and take breaks when I need it. But anyways that is what I have been up to this month nothing to exciting...lol

I wanted to share this card with you and the inpseration behind it. As we all do there are times you need card and you have mental block going, hate when this happens. I found this site last year its called PAGE MAPS. If you click on that link it will take you to there site. For days I have mental block I will go to this site and just look at card sketch layout ideas to get ideas. That is what happened with this card, I needed a card for my sister in law and was having a hard time. I went on the site and found a card LO I thought was cute and just tweaked it some. They also have scrapbook LO ideas as well. But what I like is you can look at the LO's and get ideas you dont have to make it the same. You can make it the same or as different as you want, just there to give you ideas. For some reason this site just seems to get my juices flowing, if that makes sense...lol I have really grown to love the site.
Here is a picture if the card sketch I used from the site, as you see its not to different.

Well thanks for looking and supplies will be listed below the post:)

Cards of support!

Okay I thought my next post would be craft related but this was much more important. I have a favor to ask of you bloggers. If you could take just a few mins of your day to make a card of support for a family going through a very hard time. This is for a online friend I have known for many many years. I met her in a crafting group and since a group of us always have stayed in touch even though the group is no longer around. Jacquie has a daughter and 8 months ago she had her son Hayden. Hayden after he was born had some health issues on and off but things seemed to take a turn for the worse a few months ago. He began losing wight even with close monitoring making sure he got extra nourishment to get some weight on him, he still lost. He had to be put in the hospital a few days after they seen he still was not gaining. He gained some weight and they did some testing to try to find out why he had been losing weight. He got to go home after he put some weight on, then not long after he got home he got sick and had to go back and was back in the hospital for phenomena.

He was a very sick little boy. Since then they have been in the Hopsital and now have been transfered from Alaska to Seattle just the other day. They flew Hayden by plane to Seattle they have found out he has a very serious conditions called SCIDS (severe combined immunode...ficiency)  Click here for more info on it. Its a life threating diease and he has to undergo a bone morrow transplant. That is why the medivaced him to seattle to undergo this. During this time she is seperated from her daugher while she is there with her son Hayden. This has been a very trying time for there family and little Hayden has been a trooper with all the sickness and testing he has keep a huge smile on his face. He has won a spot in many of our hearts.

Is that not the cutest face!

So what I am asking of you blogger is to take a few mins of your day and make or just send a card to the address below. Would love to see his room full of caring cards and letters of support. This family needs lots of prayers and just to know others are thinking of them. And should you want to keep track of the day to day progress there is a Caring Bridge page and facebook page for him as well. I will have that below as well.
