...there's something about Mary...
Eleven years ago this week, my friend Mary had a bone marrow transplant. Just think about that....ELEVEN YEARS AGO!! That is such an amazing thing to be able to say!! She is such an inspiration to everyone around her :)
Today I'm joining the CITY CRAFTER CHALLENGE using "Shades of "Pink". This was quite easy for me, since I love PINK!! AND, also FRESHLY MADE SKETCHES layout challenge.
The shades I chose are Pretty in Pink (SU!) for the card base & layer of embossed polka dots. The 3 squares in the middle are Hibiscus Burst prints (PTI), achored with a layer of Pink Pirouette & another layer of Melon Mambo. The flower is stamped in Melon Mambo, using PTI's "Cutting Garden" & matching dies.
The leaves were sponged with 3 shades of green - River Rock, Lucky Limeade & finally Old Olive toward the middle. The sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo. (leaves & sentiment also part of "Cutting Garden") Some bakers twine & pearls were added, with the legal limit of Dazzling Diamonds glitter *snicker*!!
This special card is going to Mary. She has been such an inspiration to me during the past 3 years, and I always want to be there for her!! She & her sweet hubby helped me through some very dark days. They are BOTH my heroes!!!
Congratulations, Mary & Andy!!!
