My Little Miracle!

Hello Lovelies! Well its been an eventful few days in the world of Shaun - currently he is doing well - the tracheostomy is in place, the balloon pump is out and the meds are coming down. He's still very cold though and he has issues with his left foot. The bloodflow was compromised there by the balloon pump but we're hoping thats not going to be a long term problem. The sedation is coming off and I'm hoping that we may have an awake Shaun for Christmas day - that would be my little miracle indeed!

I want to thankyou all for your continued support and also would like to thank the lovely Brenda over at Floral Fantasies - I was lucky enough to win her last candy - so thanks Brenda - I really appreciate it!

Back to my little miracle - this is the card I have made for him for Christmas - I've used an idea from the Clarity stencil club although I did make mine in a different way! I love this idea - what do you think?


I used the inny part of the stencil first and created the background using distress inks and other stencils. Then I covered the background and did the scene. The stamps and stencils used are all from Claritystamps and I would like to enter this for the claritystampchallenge 22 trees.

here's a closer view:


Hope you have enjoyed your visit! Big hugs Rachel xx
