I want to thank Sheri Decker for the opportunity to send cards to my friend Bill Dewhurst who recently was diagnosed with Leukemia back in September right after his brother passed away from prostate cancer in August. I knew his brother only through a working relationship as he was the controller for one of the fish companies I dealt with. I dedicated all my HYCCT cards last year in his memory. Bill's sister who lives in Hawaii thought this was the nicest someone could do for her brother. I'm looking forward to meeting her when she comes to visit in May.
We were to bring anything that flies to the tea party & Eeyore. I made Eeyore by finding a coloring page online, then I shrunk him small enough so he can fit nicely in the basket & I colored him with Copics.
Even though I had hot air balloons stamps, I wanted to make my own using circle punches & a cupcake stamp for the basket & added hemp. The balloon, basket & Eeyore is raised with foam squares. I stamped the tree twice on dp, cut out & added a foam square. The background is cloud dp & I thought this would be perfect since I didn't have any cloud punches. I used SU old olive cs for the grass then used the CB flower ef to make it come alive.
Thanks everyone for sending your cards off to Bill. I'm so excited & I can't wait for his response especially receiving cards from people he doesn't even know not even me only as a FB friend.
Thanks to everyone & everything that you do. I love this group & I always enjoy sending cards to people that could use a little cheering up.
