Awareness Angel

Today at Catch the Bug there is an older image that is moved into the new store Ribbon Prim Angel 01.  For my card, I made it a breast cancer awareness and used a sentiment from TLC, Create.  I have a co-worker going through chemotherapy right now so this is perfect to give to her.  Even with all the crazy things happening she is getting her treatments and still working. Check out the Catch the Bug website for my co-workers did awareness of other conditions. So this image is great for so MANY things.

Birthday Fish Gift Bag

Today at Catch the Bug it's Anything but a card, and for my sample I used an image from the Under the Sea Birthday Set and put it on a gift bag that I picked up. My nephew's birthday is coming up and he loves the color purple so I thought this would be so fun to put some treat in it for him.  I missed not seeing him for Easter.  I talked to my sister - in- law tonight and he apparently is telling my parents that his new teacher Mrs. Jackie is horrible. This home schooling is difficult for family life, and I just have to laugh and am glad that my own children are in their 20's. I know that I would not have patience for it. So I say my prayers for all the extra stress on those in quarantine dealing with homeschooling and stress of spending too much time together.
