Hang in There

My first purchase from Imagine That by Digistamps.  The set is called Airplanes and is on sale.  I was inspired by Donna at Indiana Ink and plan to case her card, but for this particular one I made a box card for my cousin-in-law who has just started treatment again for breast cancer.  I'm trying to keep the cards a little silly, fun and upbeat.

The box card is from Lori through the Silhouette Store, stitched clouds and sun are from Lil Inker.  I'm entering several challenges listed below the pictures.

Hang In There

"Hang in There" is another great "go-to" expression to put on the front of a card, leaving the inside to finish the sentiment like:
.....another birthday is coming
.....Spring is almost here
.....Physical Therapy is almost over
.....the weekend is almost here

The more manly one is being sent to my in-law.  I'm leaving the more girlie one without a comment for future use.  Yup, another Doodle Pantry image called Balloon Ants. ( I used the pre-colored balloon, but colored the ants with copics.) I cropped off the last ant to have a larger image for the card.  My inspiration comes from Deloris at Stamping at the Lake.  She's great at these circle easel cards.  I don't find them easy, take more paper than usual, but I must admit, they make the card interesting than the standard A2 card all the time.
