Birthday Card for a Sweet Boy


Long time no post!  I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to share what I've been working on.  However, today I had to make the time.  You may have seen the news story about the little boy battling brain cancer who wished for cards for his birthday.  If not, here's a link:  http://abc7news.com/203344/  His birthday is coming up at the end of the week so if you can get a card out in the mail to him, that would be awesome!

A little while ago I cut out these cute caterpillars from the Cricut Stretch Your Imagination cartridge.  I wasn't sure what I would use them for but they were so adorable I just had to use the cut.  As soon as I saw this news story I knew exactly what I wanted to make.  Normally I struggle with design and spend more time figuring out what I want to do than actually making it happen.  Not so with this special card!  I think this was the fastest I have ever come up with an idea and made it happen.  Must have been meant to be!

Paper:  DCWV Year Round Stack and Close To My Heart Daisy White
