Sick Kids Layout #2

This layout was done with products all from Close to My Heart!

Felicity Collection paper, twilight ribbon, twinkle brads  and paper flowers.

I used the recipe for glimmer paint using CTMH create-a-shade paint and re-inker mixed with alcohol to spray the word "ouch" the shimmery shade of red.

Sick Kids Layout #1

I love the modern layouts where one area is very busy, but I just can't leave the card stock blank it feels unfinished.  So I used a cuttlebug embossing folder with my marble rolling pin on my card stock, 12 x12 card stock does not fit in the cuttle but or sizzix (I am still using my old red origional sizzix and it works like a charm with everything!) so I just put my emblossing folder over the paper and roll it with my marble rolling pin!  I have a couple of roses I made from off white satin ribbon, paper/card stock (The Felicity Collection), paper flowers and glitter brads from Close to My Heart and the butter flies are made with a new embossing die by sizzix for Sampin UP.

This is my daugter having her arm assessed by the on Call "Ortho" doctor at our local hospital, before our adventure at Sick Kids Hospital Begins!

Thanks for your patients!

Dear blogger friends,

Thank you for your patients with my "lack of posts".  Since my daughters hospitalization I have not had the time or focus for my "paper crafting life".  You don't realize how much your children do for themselves and around the house until they can't do it anymore.  Like: dress themselves, cut their meet, poor their drinks, do up seatbelts.......helping with unloading the dryer or dishwasher.....WOW, its like stepping back in time.

She is definatly improving everyday, her cast (cast #3) as been removed and the and the rods have been removed from her elbow and arm.  She has hardly any range of movement in the elbow but it should improve everyday.

Her arm and elbow are super sensitive and we have to be sure it does not get banged, or reinjured.  That means this no gym, no sports, no 4-wheeler, no bike, no anything for 3+ months.....can you say board child.

Anyway, I have not forgotten my blogging frineds, I am just needed more than ever!  I will postg when I can!

Huggs!

Dear Diary,

Dear Diary,

Sorry I have not posted, I have been staying at sick kids hospital with my daughter since Friday, she broke her arm right in half above the left elbow. They reset the bone and cast it at south lake regional hospital, then sent her to sick kids to see orthopedic surgeon there for emergency sergery, they put in 3 rods and recast it. She had a 3 day stay at sick kids and is now home resting very uncomfortably, even though the poor little soul is well drugged! So needless to say, I will be back when I am able, My little one needs catering to right now!  As always Thanks for stopping by!
