Hey there, it's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls! Carol has picked VALENTINE for our word week challenge. I'm sharing the card I made for our little Valentine!
I've had this scalloped card base in my stash for years. It's topped with a favorite October Afternoon paper. I popped a sweet panda from The Stamp Market into a PPP photo frame then added the sentiments (also TSM). Sweet, just like our girl!
It's been a rough start to our year. My mom had a fall on Feb. 2nd, broke her right wrist in two places and has a compression fracture of the L3/L4 vertebrae. They admitted her to the hospital after spending 23 hours in the ER waiting for a bed. They admitted her to be sure her spine was ok, and it is. While there she went into A-Fib, something she's dealt with for years. This time her heart wouldn't go back in rhythm so they did a cardioversion ~ shocked it back in rhythm. She went home on the 10th and was back in the ER on the morning of the 11th in A-Fib again. Admitted her once again.
On top of that, the hospital had a water-main break inside and outside! It flooded their basement and the elevators. Visitation was shut down for 5 days. Thankfully it's open and we can get in to see her today.
Prayers would be greatly appreciated, my friends. Thanks for popping in. Visiting your blogs has been a nice diversion for me.

Definitely a sweet card for your "Sweet P". Love the cute panda in the frame.
First, I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's fall and the subsequent unbelievable events. How horrible to wait 23 hours for a bed and five days for visitation to resume. I can't imagine the stress on everyone.🫶

That is such a darling valentine for your favorite girl, Lisa. I'm so sorry about your Mom. It's bad enough to have health issues but when you have to wait to be admitted and then have to be there alone when visitors aren't allowed is stressful for everyone. Hugs for you and Mom and prayers that the recovery is quick and complete.
Oh, good heavens, Lisa! I'm sorry for this chain of events starting with your mom's fall. I hope it will soon be behind her and all hearts will rest easy. I understand the benefits of a diversion such as this lovely crafty thing of ours. It has saved me many times. Your darling card for your little Valentine is a bright spot in my morning. Love the pretty paper and every little detail. Valentine hugs to you!

So sorry about all the unfortunate news about your mom, Lisa. I hope she is improving and will be better soon. Your card is adorable with the scallops and sweet patterned paper. The panda is adorable and just adds more sweet cuteness to the card. Love it!
Your Valentine for Sweet P is so fun and wonderful. I love th details of the heart on the panda, the scallops and patterned paper, the twine... So sweet. Sad to hear about your mom and the series of unfortunate events. I hope that by now she is home and recovering. Sending hugs for all.
I am so sorry for everything your mom and YOU have been through. And I cannot believe visitation was shut down - there's nothing better for healing than being surrounded by loved ones. I hope having that sweet little panda peeking out from the pretty florals gave you a smile when you needed it.
