Embracing Life

Photo Details

Poster: orangegymnut

I made this card for my parents who were given devestating news just before Christmas. They waited until after Christmas to share with everyone that my step-dad has been diagnosed with Leukemia.

I posted a thread in the Need a Lift section if anyone is interested, or if anyone would like to send my parents a RAK or any words of encourangement.

My heart goes out to you and your step-dad and family, devestating news for sure.

This is a lovely card, I just love all the elements you put into it! Indeed - Embrace Life!

The last thing I need is another flower stamp - but this card is pushing me for yet another!

Love it!
