Boatloads of Boatloads

I'm really not good with witty titles.. Here are a few cards that I made using my Boatloads of Love set... It really is a great set if you like to water color.. I love using my aqua painters, they are so easy to work with and with a little practice you can get a beautiful image, they are perfect! I was inspired by Tara to use this set, check out her Awesome blog!

My wish for Mom...

I made this fun card for my moms birthday this last week. Its been a rough few months for all of us and I think I might know what she wished for this year..

About a year or more ago a young man ran a stop sign and broad sided my mom and grandfather. Luckily my 84 yr. old grandfather while hooked to his oxygen tank saw this coming and was able to slide as much over as possible to avoid further injury. He was not injured but my mother who has suffered from Lupus I think almost all of my life was injured internally though no one knew at the time how severe it was. She was checked out by the local hospital and they dismissed her claims of problems. This accident caused Severe Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome that caused her to start having horrible panic and anxiety attacks something she has never before experienced.
Moving to the past few months, her neurologist has been testing her brain to find out why the medication she has been taking hasn't been helping. While in the early stages of this test, she experienced her first seizure. They found Severe Brain damage due to the accident caused sometime earlier. These seizures have been continuing for the past month and she has had as many as 17 in one day sometimes lasting as long as 45 minutes. Needless to say she is in need of full time care and cannot function on her own anymore. Her specialist has scheduled her to be seen at the University of Utah but they can't see her until Oct. Meanwhile she is suffering both physically and mentally. I myself living clear across the states in Georgia feel helpless, frustrated, angry and broken hearted and wish so much that I was closer to help with her care.
So with this Birthday wish comes BIG wishes with our prayers and many others that they can get this under control so she can go back to living a normal life.
Thanks for stopping in,

Boatloads of Beate!

So this is my take on Beate's Sketch Challenge
on her Blog Fresh & Fun.
I've seen all of the cute cards with this sketch and finally decided to get to it. Since my Boatloads of Love is still new, I wanted to use it and some new Designer paper I picked up at Joann's. I did a little different format and adhered the left side of the Boat onto the left flap of the card. It's so much fun. Thanks Beate!!! If you still haven't tried one hop on over HERE and check out her easy to follow instructions!

Floatin' Boat!!

I knew when I saw this set in the New Catty, that I just had to have it. So I finally have it and I wasn't even sure I could find my mojo to whip something up. BUT!! I kept playing around and *grin* this is what I ended up with.. I'm super excited, and I just LOVE it. I love the ribbon and the new sets I got and all of the cute new things!! So thanks for stopping in,
