AOCC16 May

[ScrappinCEO]

With lots of places getting rain this weekend, we are sure to be seeing lots of MAY FLOWERS!

Let the blooming begin. Show us your flowers. Think not only the monthly celebrations, but this challenge lends itself to making a few of those necessary Get Well or Sympathy cards to have on hand.

KEYWORD: AOCC16MAY

[smadson]

Here is my first card with flowers for May. A lady had knee surgery , so this is for her.

For Dee

Oh, and the card for the 90 year old who had her cancerous kidney removed? Guess what , she was at church Sunday! Amazing! She stood, sat and stood for songs along with everyone else, and no walker! She is an amazing woman. I think she only had surgery 3 weeks ago! Anyway, just saying.

Here is another with flowers on it; it is a pet sympathy care: For KK

Hi Everyone!! Here is another card for May- I left the sentiment off since I did not want to cover up the focal image and may use this for a "Thinking of You" or "Praying for You" card - there are many men in our church family that are dealing with major health issues.

Thanks again for all of your encouragement- hugs and have a blessed weekend!

Hey ladies!
I have avoided most all of social media this month allowing my elbow time to heal and hubby to figure out his job situation. I really did not think it would take the entire month!

I have a couple of days to myself this week but we are in for storms all week. I'll try to pop in and view your lovely cards in between lightning bolts. I'm headed over to the June threat to post the June challenge.

Thank you for your patience. Creative Blessings!

So sorry to hear about the lengthly healing for your elbow but fully understand! Will be praying for complete healing as well as your hubby's job situation- hugs and stay safe through the storms!
