About Me

My photo
Carlisle, Pennsylvania
I am a stay at home mom..now that is! February 19th, 2007 I was involved in a car accident while on vacation in Florida. I awoke in ICU to find out that my only two children Annemarie age 3 and Michael age 5 did not make it. Scrapbooking became such a big part of my life. It helped fill a void that I desperately needed to fill. Our therapist suggested that I take up scrapbooking as a way to memorialize my children, little did she know! So I took that and ran with it.I became obsessed with scrapping and took over the second largest room in my house. Because of my injuries I couldn't go out and get a job, I just scrapped!I printed out 2,000 photos and my journey began. I have made albums for family members and layouts to decorate my craft room. We thought we were done having kids but who expected this tragedy??? I just gave birth in June 2009 to two beautiful baby girls Mia Anne and Gianna Marie named after their brother and sister.I swore that I would keep up with their albums so I won't become overwhelmed so we will see how that works out! My profile picture is the last family picture that was taken of all of us.

Hope...Breast cancer card





I found out that a woman that I volunteered with was just diagnosed with breast cancer. I was very touched when I found out that she said that I have inspired her and hearing my story has helped her get thru this tough time in her life. So I wanted to send her a card with some inspirational sayings and some words of hope, strength & friendship from me. I started to post this last night but I kept on looking at the card thinking that I just don't like it..something is off. SO this morning I woke up and broke down the card and took off the elements that I didn't like. I am posting both pictures but the one I didn't like is the one with the yellow flower. I am sending her the one with the flower in the upper corner and the word HOPE in the center. The adorable Breast Cancer bear is from Doodle Palace.


I made this card to fit three challenges.

    Both cards are beautiful, but I will admit I do like the re-do a bit more. Thanks for joining us at SSDS! Your friend is lucky to have someone like you in her life.

    Hi Lisa
    Both cards are beautiful both in the thought behind them and the execution of the making of them. I too prefer the 're-make'. A delightful image - thanks for the link. Thanks also for joining in with my challenge at Allsorts this week.
    Take care

    The first one is cute, but the second one seems to speak your message better. It's a very sweet card.
