This past week I experienced fear. I woke up to the sound of my husband vomiting blood in the bathroom. The doctors had forewarned me about this and the possibility of my husband bleeding to death from a massive blood vessel bursting. I felt faint and weak like the whole world was crashing down around me. I dialed 911 and could barely remember my name let alone my address. I was not thinking rationally; fear had gripped me. Was this the moment when it would all come to an end? Two years of a happy marriage to be cut short by an illness that we barely understand? Luckily it was not the end. It was only an ulcer and just a false alarm. My husband was given a blood transfusion and was released from the hospital after only a few days. Tomorrow we fly back to Las Cruces, New Mexico, for more experimental treatments to help us fight this disease. We are taking IV alpha lipoic acid in hopes of regenerating my husband's liver and we are also trying Low Dose Naltrexone to try and eliminate the cancer. I can only pray that this will be the treatment that God uses to heal my husband. We met a lot of people in New Mexico who have lived a long time with cancer solely using this treatment protocol. So I am hoping that we will be a success story as well :)
With all of that having been said, I have a few cards to share with you today.....
I stamped a flower border along the bottom of the tag by using different shades of pink ink. I also tried to use up some of my button stash on this one and of course I had to shabby this one up by using some lacy trim.
I also used some martha stewart felt border strips along the bottom of the card to create a softer feel.
I fell in love with this adorable silhouette image of these two little girls with their kitty cat. I just had to use it on a card. You can find this image for free at
Graphics Fairy.
Thanks for stopping by today.
