Hi, all! Happy Tuesday! Today's card uses this week's 2S4Y sketch and is another get well card for my friend, Jenelle. You may remember I made this card for her a few weeks ago. She finally left the hospital over the weekend, but she's still in a lot of pain, and I thought she could use a little something to cheer her up.For those of you who are so inclined, I'd really appreciate some prayers for Jenelle. She is only 32 years old and suffers from a myriad of chronic illnesses. She has a young son, and sadly, she probably only has a few years left on this earth.
I'm sure some of you are like me; we have good intentions, but we put off calling, writing, visiting with our loved ones, because we're "busy," and we think we'll always have more time. I'm telling you: pick up the phone, send that card, make that visit TODAY. You and your loved ones will be glad you did.
Paper: Taken with Teal, PTI dp
Accessories: flower (Prima), Nestabilities ovals, rub-ons (SU), rhinestones (Kaisercraft), ribbon (Michaels), dimensionals

Sweet card. I like what you did with the flower. Is that half of a flower?
I will say some prayers for your friend. She is very lucky to have you as a friend. It is sweet of you to give her this beautiful card.
God Bless..hugs
Oh Ann, what a sweet card and a really wonderful message in today's post. You are so right! And all it takes is a quick minute of our time to erase a lifetime of guilt for not doing it sooner. Wonderful colors and I will keep her and her son in my prayers. Hugs to you!
Lovely card, Ann. I especially like the rhinestones!
I agree wholeheartedly with the advice in your post. We do get so busy and put off paying attention to others. What could be more important?
This is so pretty. Love the colors and layout. This card would make anyone feel better.

Beautiful card. I love the bling. Sorry to hear about your friend. Unfortunately I know all too well of being to busy to write a note or make a phone call and then regret it later.
What a beautiful card...the bling is fabulous...but more importantly the meaning behind it is touching :)
Wonderful card and I'm praying for your friend and her family.
I've been out of town and man did I have some great cards to catch up on. The chair and the yellow butterfly cards were my favorite! Such great cards all around!
Fabulous card, Ann! Love how you did the oval with the flower folded up!!
Sorry to hear about your friend, I'll definitely include her in my prayers.
oh its wonderful!
Beautiful card, Ann and you know I LOVE that bling!! I will keep your friend in my prayers.
Lovely card, Ann! So sad about your friend's illnesses, of course I will add her to my prayer list. Indeed life is fragile and one never knows when a friend or loved one's life will be snuffed out. Thank you for reminding all of us to take the time to reach out.
Hugs!
I love the colours! The white on teal really pops :)
Beautiful card Ann, love the spots! I will keep your friend in my prayers!

I'm sorry your friend isn't doing much better. Fortunately she has a friend like you to think about her and send her lovely cards like this one. I like the random rhinestones.
I also know what you mean about not finding "time" for those in need. I have a 92 year old cousin in a nursing home. It was always my intention to visit him at least once a month, but since it's a 1-1/2 hour drive in each direction to get there, we really have to plan a whole day for a visit. And we haven't had that many free whole days in a while. I keep thinking that at that age, he might not be around much longer and I may not get that many more opportunities to visit. I do send him a card once or twice a month to let him know I'm thinking of him even if I can't be there.
Love the card and the meaning behind it as well. You are so sweet. She'll love it! Sending well wishes to your friend and her family all the way from Hawaii!!!
What a pretty card! I'm sorry to hear about your friend... I'll definitely keep her in my prayers!
Beautiful color combination, love the Bling and the way you folded your flower.
Such a pretty card! Love the gems! I'll keep Jenelle in my prayers!
What a wonderful card for someone special. Jenelle is in my thoughts today :)
This is a wonderful card Ann! I like the use of dew drops!
Hope Jenelle is feeling a little bit better soon I will say many prayers for her i know how hard it is to see someone suffering - especially a friend or family member My thoughts are with you all. Just found your blog- love your creations fantastic
so pretty! love the color combination!
So beautifully blingy!
My prayers are with your friend. The card is wonderful.
this card is so cherry and beautiful! Your friend will love it! I hope she is feeling better, what a great friend you are :)
Thanks for playing at 2S4Y!

I'm very sorry to hear about your friend and hope that gorgeous card (love what you did with the flower) helps keep her spirits up. I'll definitely be thinking of her.

Ann, your post hits home to me, about putting things off like calling loved ones because we get too busy even though we do not mean to. My grandma isn't doing so well and it's so easy to forget to call because I live so far away. But yes, we should take time to get in contact with loved ones and show them we care about them. I hope your friends feels better. What a sweet card for your friend, I love the colors and the PP, I'm sure she'll like!
P.S: thanks for your kind words at 2S4Y! you are so sweet!
Hugs

Love the color combo@!
I'm sorry to hear about your friend's illness. Your post is so true. One of my favourite Polish poets (Twardowski) once wrote that we have to learn to love people because they depart from our lives so fast. Your card is beautiful and for sure it will keep your friend's spirits up
prayers to Jenelle!!
Hope your card brings a smile to her face... I'm sure it will!! :)
A nice card and true words--thanks for reminding us!!! I'll be praying for her!
Such a sad story about your friend. I hope she starts feeling better! I will be sending prayer her way.
Your card is just beautiful! I sure it will mean so much to her.

Ann - your story is so totally right on! So often life makes things that aren't really that important seem important and something simple like a phonecall or a card really makes the difference! Thank you so much for that reminder and I am so praying for your friend and her son - i can't even imagine.....
your card will surely cheer her up - you are such a good and thoughtful friend!
Big hugs!
Sankari :)

What a beautiful card! Your friend will love it! I will be praying for her!
