FLOWERS OF HOPE FOR YOU

Hi, There

Just finished this card tonight.  Want to give it to a coworker tomorrow - she found out that her grandson (only 13) has cancer!  Not ours to ask why - but you can only imagine the questions that go around and around in my mind.  So with this card I am sending her and to everyone that has been touched by cancer either through a personal fight or by your personal experience of friends and loved ones -  lots of hugs, prayers, and flowers of hope that someday we will never have to send these type of cards to anyone!!

Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

I would like to enter this into A Day For Daisies Challenge #55 "Pop it Up" 

My pop up is on the border at top but I also cutout the flowers and popped them on top of the original design.  Not sure you can see that from my photo.  The image has also been popped up on the background paper.  Scroll down - I did attempt a side view of this card.

JUST FOR YOU

Hi, There!
It was such a long day in work today!  One of those days with no sun - all rain - and just wanting to be home!  Once I got home, I was back in my mojo and finished this card for someone special in my life - Patti.  Her Mom was my best friend.  Patti and I lost our best friend in April of 2007.  I just found out that Patti is now expecting and is due next April!!  So this is going to Patti and her hubby to wish them all the happiness that will follow with this special little person that will enter their lives soon!!  Thanks for stopping by - enjoy your weekend - I will see you next week!  Hugs ~ CaroleAnn
