Thank you to the ICU Nurses and Doctors...

So for the last week or so, my life has turned upside down, and I have been on an emotional rollercoaster....  My mother passed away on Saturday, all too soon.  I am still in shock of what happened, and everything seemed so sudden.  I know in time, I will talk more of what happened... but today I wanted to let my blog readers know, how hard it has been for me this past week or two. 

Papercrafting has always been my stress relief... my happy place... where I usually can draw on the good, and left my troubles subside for awhile....  So yes upon returning home, I heading to my craft room, and inbetween the phone calls and tears, I crafted some cards...

Today I thought I would share one that I made for  the ICU Nurses and Doctors at the Kingston General Hospital.  I have to say I have never been in a position where I even know what an ICU is run like (besides what you see on TV)... but every single nurse and doctor were so attentive, understanding, and helpful. I can not say enough about the wonderful care my mom received, and for that I am thankful!

The card I made was of course using the Stamps of Life (sizzix) stand up card! I love these cards... because they look good and are so easy to use.   I also used the triplets butterflies set and mini flower dies from the stamps of life.   

Here is the card when standing up:

Here is the card lying flat before you open it:

And finally a look at the card from an angle so you can see the awesome dimension you can get using the butterfly triplets:
