Welcome to my week

I LOVE being Unity's Growing in Unity Gal for a week each year,
something I always look forward to!

I'm starting off with a card I made for a friend going through cancer treatments
thing are looking really good for her, I can't wait for her to be able to move on with her life!

Better Days truly are ahead for her


This stamp set is called "Butterflies & Sunbeams"
I colored the butterflies with Copic Markers then topped them with Wink of Stella
Floral print paper is from Gina K. Designs
and red cardstock is CloseToMyHeart in Cranberry

Don't forget to leave me a comment to be entered in the drawing for 25 random stamps & come back each day this week for a different creation from me!
