It Gets Better

Deb here with a fun card for you .. I laughed out loud when I saw the Having Children stamp set from the January Release . I work with several people who either have very young children or pre-teen/teens and they are all pretty much overwhelmed/frustrated on a daily basis !! Of course, they love their children but let's face it; juggling work and home and trying for a nice work/life balance is a hard job. I remember being in nursing school with early clinicals at the hospital and an elementary school age son . AND a Navy sailor husband who had duty pretty often overnight . Time for myself was at a minimum but as I got older I realized that ME TIME was important not just for me but for the entire family !! And as the inside of my card says - "Hang in There - It Gets Better".

• I stamped the images with Nautical Blue Memento ink - the larger sentiment on White Mixed Media paper and the inside saying on a piece of pink plaid paper. I'll be giving this card to a co-worker with a pre-teen daughter !!
• The larger image was cut with a Big and Little Chain Rectangle Die .
• I adhered a piece of American Crafts paper to a yellow card base.
• The large sentiment was popped up on the front of the card with foam tabs.
• I adhered the sentiment to the inside of the card.
• The heart was made using a paper punch with a piece of the patterned paper I used on the front of the card . I adhered it under the sentiment.
