Thanks for coming to my Rescue

When I had my sinus surgery on Monday, my parents got up at 2 am so that they could drive to get me to the hospital for my procedure for 6 am. On the way, my Dad, actually asked me in case I would have to stay in the hospital overnight and they would stay at my house...what would he need to do to take care of my cats...that was enough to put me into shock. However, when I asked him what the surgeon said after I woke up he told me that Dr. Anderson said to get rid of my cats because they were the cause of all my sinus problems. I had a friend tell me that I should have had my Dad clean the kitty litter since I am not suppose to bend or lift for the week, but I didn't think to have him do it. ðŸ¤£I am so thankful to have my parents that were willing to come drive me and stay in case I needed. This is the card I made for them.
The image is from Bugaboo, Mini set flower block silhouettes and the sentiment is from TLC, Create.  I inked all the edges of the papers with Memento ink.  The embossed image I sprayed with Glimmer Mist that was a light pink in color.  I used Distress Oxide Inks and blended them over the stamp. Then I mist water over the image and heat it to set the color.

  2. Your card is beautiful Lisa...the image is gorgeous and I love the background colours. It was good of your parents to get you to the hospital at that hour! I am assuming that your Dad is not a cat lover....!
    Hope you're feeling a lot better now!

  6. So great that your parents helped you so well, but that's what good parents do, I think.
    So glad you wouldn't have to get rid of your cats. I think your father doesn't like cats?
    Love the background of your card. Love the entire card!!!!

  9. Hey Lisa, I hope you are feeling better after your surgery. I miss having my parents close enough for moments like this. I am sure your beautiful card will make them very happy. I am in love with your backgrounds. Thanks for your comment re: the CAS cards, I love white space, because I am generally a slob, so clutter is everywhere in my life LOL. And as for being a packers fan, you had a tough season this year. Cx
