Well I want to say that I always appreciate the comments you all leave! And thanks for the prayers.
Your cooments always warm my heart, and make me laugh. Some things some share make me cry! LOL!
I love it all. Those that email-know I WILL get back to you-promise! Just been a tough day today.
I will post my Lizzie Anne samples tomorrow if Im not totally wiped out by the LONG day of Chemo for Alexa tomorrow.
Im a bit FREAKED out cause it turns out the during Amber’s 3 year check up today, they detected a heart murmur. She is getting set up to see a cardiologist soon. This murmur has never been picked up before, and I am told it doesn’t seem “serious”. Better to get it checked now,rather than later.
They really didnt seem concerned too much-just wanted it rechecked in a month-but to sooth ME decided to refer her to a cardiologist. I am very familar with all that crap cause Alexa had open heart surgery at 3 weeks old.
She has grown well, and doing great otherwise. Off the charts even for her height. So that is good-weight has stayed on the same “curve”. She will be tall and thin-most likely.
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK had to get that out-It was a rather large long shriek/sigh here at home. On a better note: Lets get to stamping-my therapy! Which it sounds like Im gonna need alot of that! I sometimes think how great this hobby really is! IF I DRANK when I was stressed Id be getting more rehab than Lindsay Lohan! Maybe she need to get inking and stop the drinkin-
OK over it!
HA! Now say that 5x’s fast! LOL!
I was suppose to share this yesterday, but decided to have it on its own.
This was a pouch I made using the new Halloween set by C.C. Designs (Fred and Bob). My Scor-Pal, made it super easy too.
WICKED SIMPLE! (Yes that is a Massachusetts thing I guess, and without realizing it I say it ALOT)
Cut paper same size as an A2 card (4 1/4 wide x 11 1/2 long), then score at the 5 1/2 mark. Score again at each bottom-2 inches. It then fold into a pouch. Inside are some glassine bags filled with candy by Paper Trey ink.
All I did was stamp the pumpkin on the left-on my Paper Trey white cardstock, with Brilliance ink in graphite, then colored with my CopicMarkers. My Sam’s club glitter pens added dimension and BLING! You bet your sweet hiney when Christine gets in the Copic Glitter type markers they are SO MINE!!!!
The second pumpkin was stamped/colored/cut from scrap-then layered.
Paper frills by Doodlebug make the “grass”. All in all very simple. The ribbon is from Michaels.
Hope you like it!
Now I think I need to go chill out-

I love this card. The ribbon is a perfect match with the other pumpkins. I am lovin the grassy bottom too. Good luck tomorrow with Alexa! I know everything will go well.
what a wonderful creation to come out of your therapy! My prayers are with you and your family tomorrow. I pray Alexa’s discomfort will be minimal and your “mommy stress level” small. You are an incredible mom to handle the things that have come your way. God bless you and your family.
I love your pocket pouch and how the pumpkins are glitterfied!!! Very cute – good luck tomorrow – I enjoyed the smile boxes from your previous post – your kids are so cute! TFS
too cute – love this stamp and need to get it! Hope all goes well with Alexa’s appt!!
Beautiful card Lauren! Your coloring came out great!!
I’m keeping both of your girls in my prayers and hope that you can find some relief from all the worries of motherhood as well.
Very cute! I just got a scor-pal thanks to um… you! haha! 🙂 Hope everything with Alexa goes good. I’ll send wishes her way!
(((hugs))) We’re saying extra prayers for Alexa and Amber. Hang in there. Hopefully the cardiologist can give you some peace of mind.
Your pumpkin pouch is so adorable! Hugs & prayers!
Love those adorable pumpkins. I was diagnosed with a heart murmur at 22 and they were cautious as well because I had surgery a year earlier and they couldn’t believe the surgeons wouldn’t have caught it. I had an echo a day later, which scared me because of the quickness. All was fine, whew. Big hugs to you and the girls for health.
I’m praying for Alexa & for you, hope everything turns out well! I also live in Mass. near the Cape, what a small world. Luv this card as well, I’m telling you girl you are sooo good!
Great little pouch, so cute and simple!
I am new around here and didn’t know your little girl was sick, I’ll keep her in my prayers (and her sister too).
Ok I lost half of my comment here, I don’t know why!
I was saying you made me laugh with your comment about Lindsay Lohan, you’re right they should offer stamping therapy in rehab…but then it would be going from one addiction to another!…. 🙂
Hey Lauren… {{{HUGS}}} know we’ll be praying for you all, and that Alexa’s chemo goes well, and that Amber’s murmur, turns out to be ‘normal’ as a murmur can be…I thought I had heard tall people can get mitral valve prolapse, which can cause a murmur (you’re the nurse, so I might have it all wrong 😉 ) and since she’s off the charts for height, maybe that has something to do with it?? Either way, hoping for good news from the Cardiologist.
I love the pouch, it’s WICKED cute…I have to tell you, I use that term ALL the time, someone asked me if I ever lived in MA, but nope…though I do have a friend or two there (from Norwood) and I do believe they say it quite a bit, so maybe I picked it up from them…
First of all, prayers for Alexa and Amber and big hugs to you! Your family is in my prayers everyday. Again I am glad that you share these things with us so that we can pray and support you!
Your pouch is super cool! I love the design!
Wow, this pumpkin card is too cute. Will be praying for you tommorrow with Alexa’s chemo, and for Amber’s heart murmur.
VERY CUTE CARD!
