I used the set My Favorite valentine from h and M Stamps, of which there are very few left. http://www.handmstamps.com/index.php
I also used the set Alot of Thanks for the sentiment as I wanted to make a thank you card for someone who has been helping me so much through these hard times I am facing, with both my dear Mother's illness as well as becoming unemployed after 28 years! I KNOW that there will be new opportunities for me and this is a littlle bit exciting as it is a time for reinvention! However there are dark moments when I lean on my friends, and I am so grateful for them.
thanks for listening to the ramble and I hope you like my card!

Love how you worked with the DP. And the butterflies and center image is too cute.
Prayers to you for your Mom on a speedy recovery. And a big stamper hug for you and your worries. Bang those stamps hard and get it out of your system. Thanks for sharing.

I love your ccard, NR! It's super sweet with that image and colors. I relate to all those dark times you're going through. I had no idea your mom is also ill. It's a lot to have on your plate. So many change in such a short time. I am so sorry to learn of your down times! You will reinvent yourself, I have no doubt, but its just getting to that point that can be so difficult. Keep your chin up, girl!
