What a week! But the good news is that the first week of school is over. YEAH! It is always the hardest and longest of the year. We picked Mom up from the hospital today as well. She is very weak and we had to put her into the skilled nursing part of her retirement home. It is across the street from where she lives. I sure hope she doesn't have to stay there very long. It is so depressing. Why is it that they paint all of those places such drap colors. I think if they would paint them cheery colors and even painted the old chipped dark furniture white it would be a much happier place. As it is you feel dirty the minute you walk in. The people were very nice so that is the most important.
Last night I needed a very quick thank you card. Here is what I came up with in about 10 minutes. I love this PaperTreyInk set of stamps called Everyday Button Bits. I stamped the leaves with Old Olive from SU and the paper is the same. I used the Cuttlebug Thanks folder. Oh, and the red is from PaperTreyInk as well - Pure Poppy.
Until next time - Happy Trails...

I'm glad your mom is out of the hospital and I hope she doesn't have to stay in the skilled nursing area very long. Super card - that is such a wonderful stamp set!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card, Sheri! Glad your first week is over at school and good news that your mother was able to leave the hospital. Sounds like the skilled nursing care area needs to be remodeled. :) Hope she can return to her normal living quarters very soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card. I've seen some others made with this set and it's a cute way to use buttons. Did you buy PaperTrey buttons? The colors they have are beautiful!

Yeah you made it through the first week of school! I sure hope your mom doesn't have to stay in the skilled nursing area too long. Maybe we should get a group of stampers and decorate that place! Woohoo you got the Everyday Button Bits - isn't it an addicting set?? You made such a sweet (sorry no pun intended) card with it!
ReplyDeleteLove the card!! The button idea is so cute - wish I could remember to use them!! Hope you are having a GREAT weekend!]

This is so freakin cute!! OMGosh! I wouldn't even have attempt to make a card in 30 mins! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteI love this card! It is so simple and sweet. I was trying to avoid buying the PT stamp set, but I think your card just sent me over the edge!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the week is finally over for you, and that your mom was released from the hospital. And amongst ALL THAT, you were able to create one of the CUTEST thank you cards!
