How exciting to play with a challenge where
I actually have all the exact colors.
So I will submit my card to the challenge at:
The stamp set featured in this card is:
Stampin Up: Cactus Cuties
I tried so many different sets, and was
about to give up, when I looked on my little
book case of stamp sets and this one just popped
right off the shelf.
That bright green works perfect.
I had to cut out planters for the two little ones,
no measuring just eyeballing it. Not to shabby.
My ink pads must be old, because they
seem to be falling apart, they are still
inking ok, but the pad itself seems to
have fuzz on it or something.
So after coming up with this card idea,
I laughed to myself, as to why didn't I think
of plants first. I LOVE plants and have a house
full of them. I will share a few pictures of my
spring cactus that is now blooming.
It always amazes me. She is old, and yet
she still blooms. and Just in time as my
orchid is dropping its gorgeous blooms.
They last for months, but now
my spring cactus will carry us through with
some lovely color.
HP my pal had to jump up and check out
the plant situation too. Always the little helper.
He goes to the vet tomorrow to get his MMM
checked out especially his eyes. Can you believe
this? Covid attacked our eyes so badly,
Along with other stuff. I'm thankful we are
alive, and able to talk about it.
It is 20 weeks out today, and still struggling.
and makes me extra sad to see my dog struggling.
Such a pal, I'm comforted by what my family tells
me. They say Hunter would have stayed with me no
matter what. So that helps, I just feel so guilty,
because when I had high fevers for the first two
weeks this little fella would lay right next to me
all the time, to make sure I was ok. and so it
breaks my heart to see him so sick. The reason
he got MMM is because most likely he also
had covid, and his immune system couldn't handle
it and turned on itself, so now he has wasting muscles,
behind his jaw and his eye. He's been off of
prednisone for a few weeks, and so tomorrow
we go see what is the next step.
Thank you for your continued prayers and
encouragement as I recover from covid.
And also, for my dog, HP.
I'd love to have you follow me on instagram at:

ReplyDeleteYour little buddy is a super hero - always there through thick and thin. I'm sorry he is dealing with these issues - you two are a team, he was there when you needed him and he knows you are there for him now. Be positive, he feels your emotions and those feelings will guide him. My heart and prayers are with you both. The cactus is a great idea for this color challenge - love how you brought both elements of this challenge together. Thanks so much for joining us this week at CC&S.
