I made this card for a family member recently diagnosed with cancer. I didnt know what kind of card to make, What kind of image to use. I scoured my stamps for a few days untill I finally found this stamp from cistamps.com
I made the card 6×6 and used a ruffle trick learned by Lisa Johnson. I new how to do this from sewing but never realized to do it for cards. Her blog is amazing – please check her out.
Anyway I hope you are better soon and we are all praying for you!!
I love this technique of Ribbon Ruffling.
enjoy your day

Very nice card, and I am sure it will be appreciated by the family member. I am so sorry to hear that cancer has struck your family!!! We have had that battle on our hands as well, and it is truly a family with a disease, not one person with a disease. Hang in there!

Thank you, Melissa, for the card. I know it took you a long time to make and I will save and treasure it. Thank you also for the calendar for 2010…so that I can look ahead to brighter days, for the photo of Juliana, and for the magnetic note paper. I love all the presents and photos of the kids that you send to me!! It puts a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart. Thank you
Bonnie
