Good-bye My Little Angel

Hello my dear friends,
I'm sorry for not posting very much lately or visiting all of you.   I know that I've received some e-mails asking me if I was OK.  I have been going through a very difficult time.  I was 19 weeks pregnant and lost my baby boy last week and had some hard weeks before my loss.  I can't go into details without breaking down in tears.  I know that time will heal my broken heart and that my little angle will be with me always. I appreciate and thank you for all the comforting e-mails and all your thoughts and prayers!  Thank you my dear friends for your support!  I will visit you all very soon.  Thank you to my beautiful sisters, Mom and mother-in-law for all their support!!!  and of course my husband!!!
Many hugs,
Norma

Welcome Friends,
I'm sooo glad you stopped by today, because I'm SUPER SUPER excited to be a Guest Designer for the talented Sarah over at Pink Cricut!  Woo Hoo!!!!! This is my first time as a Guest Designer and elated with excitement.  When I first got the e-mail some months back and read that Sarah had chosen me to be a Guest designer I was jumping up and down like a crazy women LOL!!!!  and made my project right away and have been anxiously waiting to show this cute card to you all!! Thank you Sarah for this opportunity I really appreciate it. The stamp set that Sarah sent me to showcase for you all was the Summer Vacation Set!! Once I saw the stamps I instantly new what kind of card and sentiment I was going to use. I used sentiment "Ahoy, Matey and Lets Getaway" I used a small card size for the inside and a A2 size card on the outside.  I got the fold card idea from a online class that I took from Mary Fish some months ago. Please stop by and visit Pink Cricut and check out her AWESOME stamps.  Thank you Sarah once again for this opportunity!! Thank you all for stopping by.  Have a fabulous Day!
