I hope everyone is feeling well and having time to create. I created this card for my mother; whose body has been going through a lot of changes as she ages. All the dies are from the Cricut Artiste. The card is much prettier in person. I found this gorgeous purple glitter tape at Joann's and had to use it. LOL! The tape was my inspiration to create this card and the fact that I needed something for my mother to encourage her.
My mother was still in the nursing home when I sent her this card; and very discouraged about changes in her health/aging. She is home now and doing pretty good; but lots of ups and downs with her health. She is 82 yrs. old and lives alone; so it is tough for her. I offered for her to move out here to CA with us; but her other kids would not want her that far away; since they all live in MO. She has a lot of friends there, also.
