A fun card, and a heartfelt Thank You

I just love these images from Waltzingmouse Stamps...so, so cute, the stamp set is called Half Pint Heroes.  I will let my son write a letter to my husband with this card, it just seems so perfect for that.  

I stamped the image onto some Neenah card stock (really nice to use with Copics), then colored in the cute little submarine using Copic markers.  I trimmed the white card stock down to size, and then layered it onto a nice blue textured card stock from Bazill.  To soften the card up a bit, I rounded one of the bottom corners.  I thought it would be cute, to add a little bling in the water bubbles coming from behind the sub.  It is a little girly, but I like it.  Since I knew this card most likely would go to a man, I made a knot with the ribbon, instead of a bow.

On a personal note, thank you all so very much for the outpouring of support you all have given me.  I was so amazed and in awe of all of the woman who contacted me, told me their stories, and just wanted to say they were praying for me.  I felt the love and prayers, and it helped so very much!  Last week I did lose the baby.  It was so very difficult, and for a few days all I wanted to do was stay in bed.  I allowed myself to grieve (and continue to), but I still needed to take care of my two children.  So, I said a few prayers for peace and strength, to help me get through the week.  We ate a lot of take out, but I am perfectly okay with that, and so were my children.  With Jess gone, my friends really stepped up to the plate (and all of my readers) and made sure I was okay, and still do.  I can never say thank you enough, to show my appreciation to everyone who reached out to me.  I have taken this last week to rest, heal and to grieve.  I am still very weak, and will continue to take it easy.  My blood work was not the greatest, so I have to work on getting all of my levels back up to where they need to be.
Again, thank you all so very much!
