Winter Birthday Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and More

Oh....those winter birthdays.   My daughter was born on January 8th (also Elvis's birthday).  It was one of the worst winters in Ohio history.  We lost our heat and water on one of the worst days.  A newborn and a 4 year old with no heat or water was quite the challenge.  We had below zero temperatures, with wind chill factors of 50 below for several days!  It was known as the Great Blizzard of 1978, also known as the White Hurricane.  I thought this adorable image by Mo Manning fit perfectly.  Actually the snow was several feet deeper!

We always had to plan ahead for her presents because the toy shelves were empty after Christmas.  We did get caught empty handed a couple of years.  Sorry, Steph.

I Feel The Love Project

This is my first card for the awesome organization founded by Madison Womack.  This month a wonderful Father is being honored.  His name is Reggie Nelinger and he is watching his young daughter fight for her life for the second time.  Ashley has a rare form of cancer and is currently undergoing treatment.  Reggie is struggling with wanting to be with his daughter and the necessity of supporting his family of six.  You can read more about this courageous family here.

This is the card I created for Reggie.  

I love this image by Mo Manning.  It is called Love you Daddy.

The banner has the names of all the children.

The banner was created from an on line template.  

I used the same digi on the inside and carefully colored it with copics.

Please hold this family in your prayers as they go through this challenging time.

Thank you so much for visiting.  Have an awesome week.
