Card for Lauryn

I created this  flat card for a special young lady named Lauryn Newsome, a two year old that is in for a rough road ahead. She was diagnosed with Leukemia on

March 27th and while the doctor's have caught it early, she will be in the 

hospital undergoing chemo treatments for the next 30-45 days at least.

She is the granddaughter of our dear friend Linda Payne whom many of you probably know in the stamping community. There will be a card drive next Monday, April 14th

where you can join a large group of like minded crafters in prayer and cards 

for this family. There will be prizes, and lots of inspiration in the cards made

by this group. You can find more information at the blog created

for Lauryn Here  . I will have some blog candy for anyone leaving a comment

that you will send this sweet child a card or would like to make a donation.

I will try to post a picture of my candy later this week.

I have a Paypal button on my sidebar where you can donate.

My card is a double sided piece of textured card stock cut at 5.25 square.

I created a pocket for my tag with foam tape. Here you can see the tag removed.

My images are from Doodle Pantry "Critter Tops" and "Easter Peeps". 

I added these soft felt flowers hoping she will love the way they feel.

Hope you can come back on Monday for the card drive.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

Good morning my friends, hope your weekend is going well. We had lots of rain yesterday, but thankfully the temps were not cold , so no Snow word. I have loved that our only bit of snow has been a light skiff that melted by mid morning  on the roads. I am ready for Spring, flowers and butterflies. Do you think that was my inspiration for this card?

I went shopping last Monday to use a gift card and found a new Martha Stewart Punch around the Page set "Loops Heart" and this gorgeous ribbon by Pebbles. The butterfly is also a new purchase....from K&Co. I found a new challenge site this past week Word Art Wednesday where they give a free piece of word art each week and ask that you use it in your project. I am also using the sketch this week from Freshly Made Sketches (Thanks Betty for pointing me to this site).

And last but not least, I am entering my card into The Outlawz Sunday CAS challenge to use something new on our card. Everything on my card is newly purchased this week except for the textured white card stock from The Rubber Cottage and my pearls (Gina K Designs) that I added to the ribbon.

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by!
