So many of you have been asking about my mom ... THANK YOU for your words of encouragement, concern, and most of all, your prayers. My mom has been diagnosed with brain cancer. They will be surgically removing the tumor, followed by radiation treatments. Without going in to alot of detail, there's alot to be hopeful for! It's just a slow process, and we are currently waiting for surgery to be scheduled. I would very much appreciate your continued prayers for my mom (Carol Ann) and our entire family.

I've seen other stampers make cat tails with the Horizontal Slot Punch and Inspired by Nature grass image, and knew I had to try it! Living in the Arizona desert for the past 25 years, it's been a long time since I'
ve seen real cat tails. I used Sweet Sunday Sketch #43 to make this masculine card for John's uncle who is in the hospital. The sun/moon was created using the Reverse Masking Technique ... punch a 1 3/4" circle out of a scratch piece of cardstock and use the negative as a template to sponge the inside of the circle with More Mustard ink.
