Pressed Petals Series, Part 4 ... Card 5

So sorry I've been MIA for a few days. We've been dealing with my mother-in-law ... in and out of hospitals and now settled in the Christian Village just down the road from us. She has fallen 3 times now and the last time landed her in the hospital again - with a goose egg on her cheek, a swollen shut eye and bruises all over the right side of her face and down her neck. She is black and purple! This sweet lady is having a tough time of it. Needless to say, there's been little to no time for stamping or blogging. I AM still having my Paper Pumpkin Club Tuesday afternoon (August 20) at 1:00. I am looking forward to being with close friends and having a little creative time.
It's going to be a busy week any way you look at it ... this week and next, too, I suppose. Aaron started school this morning, Ben starts tomorrow and little Joey starts Pre-K next week. I'm so glad my daughter will be here to put Joey on the bus for his first day. I'm not sure I'd be able to let him go. He'll be staying with me in the mornings, eating lunch with us and I'll be putting him on the bus for the afternoon session and then all 3 boys will get off the bus after school each day. I look forward to spending the mornings hanging with my favorite little guy. This year will be an adventure, for sure. I'll be having my creative times in my studio in the afternoons and evenings.
Now, back to my Pressed Petals Series and another card.

Today's card has a BIG fussy cut piece attached over a frame, along with additional little fussy cut flowers here and there over it all, to give lots and lots of dimension.

I love it ... and hope you do, too!

This card could be used for most any occasion. The inside and envelope are decorated, too, but there's still room to write a nice note inside it. I've been sharing all the cards my mother-in-law has received in the mail and it's one of the few activities we can still enjoy together. She's so pleased when I show them to her and read the messages. Even when she doesn't always remember the person who sent it, she still feels the love they sent and enjoys the pretty designs.
