Sketch #456 Meant to Be, stampin Up Valentine card

Hello dear friends.  I missed you all.

  It took all the strength I 

had to make this card today.  

 I cut all the vertical strips out

of DSP, and then layered them on red card stock.

Then I had to decide which ones I wanted to stick

next to each other.  Something so simple, and yet

it took me quite a long time. 

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Meant To Be

I'm dealing with alarming eye troubles.

Of all the things, now this.  GRRR.  

Anyways according to my eyes the sketch seemed 

to hover over to the left side of the card.  So hence

the reason I included the stamped heart near the 

bottom of the right hand side to even things out. 

Well as much trouble as I had making this card,

I'm happy with how it turned out.  I had a hard time

seeing my paper trimmer for cutting all those strips,

but I kept trying, even right now as I type this 

my eyes are weak and blurry.  

I will try not to be too long winded in telling 

you about last week, and into this week. 

It has been absolutely awful.  

This sweet little HP came down with 

a raging ear infection.  We usually keep 

on top of things, but this time we got 

side tracked, my poor husband was sick.

Then my new doctor appointment, was 

not at all what I was hoping for in terms 

of help.  I feel like I'm not ever going to 

get anyone to help me.  Anyways, back to HP.

  We had to drive about 

35-40 minutes away to go to a Vet. that 

was horrible.  They wouldn't even let us 

be with our dog.  4 hours by himself, 

was just heartbreaking.  He has such anxiety

and loves to be close to us.  

I cried the entire time.  We got home

and I started to make us a very 

very late supper, so there I was trying 

to make us food and all of a sudden

out of the blue, I started feeling horrible

by 10:30 I was in my chair, fever, and 

sleeping, then it happened, bad eye 

pressure, I woke up the next morning

all fevers and for the next three days,

and now blurry eyes,  And 

unfortunately I think It is covid.  I was 

thinking the flu, but today lost all since of 

smell and taste.  So I beg of you dear friends

and fellow card makers Please pray for us

This is horrible.   I feel weak and broken. 

But I was inspired today because of a dear friend

who made this gorgeous card for me.  Her words 

on the inside moved me to tears.   So 

very comforting to know people are praying.  

Nancy's cards are just gorgeous.  I'm so grateful 

to receive one.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
