Hello friends! It has been cold in the US. I hope all
of you are staying warm and healthy. I know there has been a lot of
flu and viruses already this year. I heard on the news that it is an epidemic in several states already this year. My kids and their families have had it really bad. Some people still have a bad cough.
My mother is still in the nursing home and she has pneumonia now. She was able to resist the flu that her roommate and over half the nursing home had; but she ended up with pneumonia instead. She was confined to her room for two weeks; because they didn't want the flu to spread to everyone; then she got out for two days. She is confined to her room again until she gets better. I feel sorry for her; since she was so independent before she got cellulitis at Thanksgiving.
I have a card that I created for DS4J before Jen Lee stopped drawing for them; so I decided to go ahead and post it now. I really love her work; and was very disappointed that she decided to stop drawing. I thought the card turned out really cute; so I am going to share it here. For more digi stamps; check out Digi Stamps 4 Joy shop. Margy and Riette are still drawing new images that I am sure you will enjoy using on your cards. We also have an awesome challenge every month; so be sure to drop by the DS4J blog as well.
DS4J is having a 1,000 member challenge on their Facebook page; where you receive a free adorable digi for creating a card; using one of their images, coloring it and entering it on the link. The links are above for the shop and Facebook page. Please read the directions; so you will be included! Happy Creating!

I'm sorry to read about your mother. Hopefully she will recover quickly from the pneumonia and be on her way. Your card is lovely. I love to see people use purple in their creations. It seems to be a forgotten color. Thank you for joining us at Dreamweaver Stencils this month for our birthday challenge.
ReplyDeleteFun card suing delicious colors. Thanks for playing along with the Dreamweaver Stencil challenge this month.
