Daughter's Are Everything! Happy Birthday Haley

Hey there I hope you all are having a Great Crafting Tuesday! Today is April 17th. Today is a special day! Nine Years from Today I gave birth to a Beautiful little girl. When I saw her for the first time.. I was just an aw.. she was so Beautiful. Her name is Haley and her name means delicate beauty. Haley has been through so much in the past two years. I am one proud momma. She is so strong and very forgiven. I have been taking care of her brother (Ethan) in Cincinnati Ohio since Dec. 26th 2011 and we have been separated. When I look at Haley.. I see myself.. so loving and such a good daughter. God gave me such a Beautiful gift. She is such full of life, and she has dreams. She wants to be a zoologist. I tell her if you believe in yourself and put your mind too it you can do anything! So I unfortunately can not be at home for my daughter's Birthday and this is so hard for me because this is the very first time EVER. So I wanted to send something special for her. I made her a Birthday card and Matching Mini Album. Haley,Ethan, Amanda (My friend Sue Ann~Suzy's Crafts daughter) and I all went to the Cincinnati Zoo during Haley's spring break. So I wanted to put our memories in a Mini Album, and that way when Haley ever feels alone all she has to do is pick up that book and look at that Album and bring back that fun and enjoyable day.

So here is Haley's Birthday Card and Mini Album!!

The Tag above was made from CTMH

I used Sizzex Mini Album Die Cut

The paper is from design Scrapbook Pad (Tiffanys)

(There is Transparency paper cut out from the Sizzex Die Cut and place on the cover.)

Here is Ethan,Amanda, and Haley.

The flower is out of Michael's Dollar bin.

Pink Stickles on the flower.

I actually made tags using the CTMH tags that came with the Art Philosophy and Stamp set kit.

Candies(Pink and Green)

These are the actual Animals from the Zoo..

I placed paper on the back so she can write what she wants on them.

Tim Holtz Distress Ink was used.

I Have found a beautiful and fitting poem just for her...

Daughter By Rosa Linda Once the goodness of Someone Special reaches out
and touches your Heart, your life is changed forever...

Each day becomes a Blessing
filled with Hope anew, wide-eyed Wonder,
and the sincere desire to share a little Kindness.
You look for, and find, the Good
in every one and every thing.
You keep the Faith;
and wholly trust in your dreams of tomorrow.

I want you to know how fortunate
I feel to have you in my life.
You have brought a hue of Happiness to my heart,
and a rainbow of Love that will forever
color my world with Joy.

You Are Truly Someone Very Special To Me!!

Thanks for stopping By ..Coming soon NEW DESIGN TEAM POSTS..

Making Smiles!!

Hey there and welcome.. I wanted to share what I have made for a friend that I have made here at the Ronald McDonald House..

Her name is Rebeca. Her daughter who is 9 months old just received a bone marrow transplant. Abby has a rare disease. I have made Rebeca a Bear Banner for Abby and I have promised her that I would make her a frame for her daughter.

Here is her frame....

 I used white paper and used deco pauge on it and then cut out this design out using demask decor Cricut Cartridge.. I used Sophisticated Cartridge to spell out Abby's name and Precious out.. I changed the colors on my imagine to pink and Green. The design from Demask Decor was placed individually down and glued with deco pauge.I used green stickles and used the new Epiphany pennant and cut out her name using that punch and made it look like a banner.. I love this so much!

I hope you like this frame.. what do you think?? By the way the colors I used is exactly what her bedding looks like in Abby's hospital Room! I hope I put a smile on Rebecca's face and If i do then that's an accomplishment that i was hoping for...

I hope you all have a great crafting night and thanks for stopping by!

Sparkling Challenge!

Welcome To another Challenge!

Hey there today is another Challenge over at Scrappy Emt.  Today's challenge is Sparkling (Anything Goes)

She just asks anything made with some BLING, RHINESTONS, BEADS, GLIMMER

So you all know that I am currently living at the Ronald McDonald House in Cincinnati Ohio. The reason is because my two year old little Ethan had upper respiratory failure and  is one year post transplant (liver).

So I have been making families here at the house banners. I decorate and make animal banners and place the children's names in the middle of the character's that I create... I am trying to make my stay here a positive one. There are  so many tears and sad faces here and we are all family here fighting the same battle. That battle is fighting for our children's life. I decorate the doors here so when volunteers come to the house and take tours they see all the cute and fun banners. I get tons of thank yous and all I ask is to pay me in smiles...

So here is my banner that I have just recently finished for a family who's daughter is waiting for a lung transplant!

Her name is Leah! Keep her and her family in your prayer's and be thankful that you don't have to go through what some of these families have gone through!

To make this banner I used the Art Nouvou and Art Philosophy Cartridge. Use stickles,Tim Holtz distressing ink and liquid pearls... Thank you for stopping by.. Hope you have a fun and Crafting Day!
