Stitched Stockings....

Oh how neglected my poor blog is! I appreciate those of you who still stop by here when I post something....goodness know my posts are few and far between these days. There's something about a best friend being diagnosed with cancer that makes you see your life in a different light and then suddenly it's 8 months later and you know you'll never be the same. That's how things are for me now...

On a positive note, I stamped! I had a downline meeting with a sweet friend a few weeks ago and we swapped cards. Here's the one I made for her:


I used the Stitched Stockings from the mini catalog from Stampin' Up!. It's super cute and very versatile!

Thanks again for stopping by and have a good afternoon!

  1. Very cute card! I understand having lost a good friend to breast cancer two years ago. It really makes you stop and think about the gift of health and life.

  4. I think that's the beauty of Google Reader, posts just show up like a nice little wrapped gift...even if they are few and far between. :)

    I hope we all feel the same....a friend is a million times more important than a blog!! So take care of your friend without guilt!

    This card is gorgeous! Possibly my favorite one to date. But who knows...all your cards are gorgeous. I saved back one of the little pumpkin "baskets" you sent me last year and have it sitting on a shelf. It makes me smile every time I look at it, it's so beautiful.

  6. Love this clean and pretty card! The row of brads are the perfect embellishment.

    So happy you popped in at my blog today, Melissa! I too have a very close friend just diagnosed with cancer. Your love for your friend is inspiring and so special.
    Hugs~
