Red Hot Stampers Sketch Challenge # 23

Hello to all my blogging friends. I hope this post finds you all well and happy!

I haven't talked about my brother lately, he has started a Radiation Treatment on his throat, in hopes that they will be able to shrink the tumor there, so he will at least be able to eat and get his energy back. I pray this helps and that he recovers his strength quickly. We realize this is going to be very difficult on him, but if it will help he want's to try!

I have several family photos in my craft room and I thought this one would be fun to decorate and send to Vince in card form. I do not know if he has a copy of this photo or not. The photo is of my Brother Vince, my sister Pam (in the middle) and Myself as little kids. I think this was taken in 1960 or the late 50's I'm not sure. All I remember of this day was that I got to wear my favorite dress. I think it was a silver satin with pink and white flowers. It swooshed as I walked lolol. I think he will like it. Please continue to pray for Vince and his family they really need all of our prayers.

I also wanted to show you a card I created from the Red Hot Stampers Weekly Sketch #23

Here is my take on it;

I turned it on it's side and really had fun playing with it. I added some clouds and birds, a few tropical flowers and leaves. I black embossed the surfer image and outlined the oval shape. I had a left over cork strip that I slid through slits in the oval and thread behind the image. I hope you like it. I felt the need to make something cheery today.

Here is a look at the inside;

Thanks for stopping by today, and I really hope you get a chance to create something fun. I believe we have a nice long lazy weekend planned. Just me and my honey!
