CCEE: Cards of Encouragement


 Hello friends!

Because we've been preparing, shopping, stocking up,
I have a quick post for today.



Please keep South Florida in your thoughts ~
we've got a hurricane barreling towards us!
We've got all our supplies and will 'batten down the hatches'
and hope for the very, very best this weekend.
Storms are always so scary and with our baby granddaughter, Alice,
it just makes everything that much more nerve wracking :(



My post!
The CCEE Stampers theme this week:
create a card of encouragement and SEND IT!

 Today's card is for my daughter ♥
We have 3 young adult daughters and a teenage son,
and our middle daughter is a jet setter and amateur photographer.
She just returned from a week in Montreal, Canada and the Caribbean the month before that and her photographs are just stunning!
Lucky for me, she lives at home so I'll walk this card down the hall!
 

You might remember from this post that I fell absolutely IN LOVE 
with this stamp set from Unity Stamp Company
when I was a Unity gal last year.
One of the perks of being a Unity girl for a week
is at the end, you can pick a stamp - or stamp set - as a reward.
I chose Moments Between Moments last year because it spoke to my heart
and the girl with the camera is just sensational.

For this card, I tried something new - Canon watercolor paper.
I used my Zig clean markers to colors and they were super!
 
The encouragement is on the inside of the card:
This sentiment is one of the one in the same stamp set. 


You can see what the design team has created this week
 by heading to the CCEE Stampers blog.
There is also a link up where you can add your cards, too!



I'll try to hop on as long as the electricity stays on!
We have a generator and plenty of gas, just in case.
We have a full house - everyone heading here to weather the hurricane.
I'll have to go get my mom from her house and she'll stay with us, too. 

I jonkingly told my husband, while he is entertaining by candlelight
and cooking by sterno, I'll be making lots of cardmaking by lantern :)

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

  9. I love the perfect paper background for this really great image. My prayers are for you and your family and all those facing this storm. Since Harvey was just 2 years ago for us, it is still fresh on my mind how unpredictable and destructive those storms can be. Stay safe, dear one.
