Remember
THIS POST so long ago? Rarely do I keep cards or items I create. They are gifted to loved ones, friends, and those who need a lift. But for some reason I kept this set of cards. I loved everything about them. The out of the box use of
Papertreyink's Green Thumb set, the
Aqua Mist cardstock, ink, and ribbon, the
swiss dot
cuttlebugged panel, just everything! Truth be known, I just did not want to part with them. Until now. After visiting
Debbie Olsen's blog and reading
THIS POST, I knew I wanted to participate and send a card to Kate. (If you would like to visit Jennifer
McGuire's info about Kate and her family, click
HERE) After seeing Kate's precious picture and reading her story, so heartfelt written by her Mom, I knew this card would be perfect.

But it needed to include her name, so my
JustRite cupboard is where I went. I pulled out my neglected
Bonus 60pt Times New Roman font to create a name banner utilizing my
rectangular stamper. I stamped Kate with Adirondack Espresso ink, clipped end, added a Dill button/ribbon embellishment, and changed up the dress bodice with a piece of aqua mist
cardstock. The flower rhinestone was replaced with a brown Kaiser adhesive pearl.

The hanger is a stem stamp, the dress top is the boot top, and the dress skirt is three strawberry stamped images, individually cut out. Love using images in ways otherwise intended! I hope Kate likes it too. Do you have a card(s) to send for the Cards For Kate drive. What a blessing it would be! Take good care!

Genius Barb...this is the most creative use of images in such an unusual, but awesome way. Fantastic creation! I love the branch hanger...I've always wished I had a hanger stamp...and now I do!

I remember this card Barb - I favorited it and printed it out to case some day - it is just so cute and creative!
