Your Strength is an Inspiration & Thank You Cards
Today I’m sharing the two Thank You Cards I made last night on my FaceBook Live. The first Thank You Card uses the Waves of Inspiration Bundle by Stampin’Up! It’s a card I plan to give my brother Marty, who is going through Radiation and Chemotherapy right now. We lost our youngest brother last year this month and Marty has been such strength for us. Now he is in the fight for his life. I just want him to know how proud I am of all the strength he has shown through the past few months. I love this sentiment!
Marty asked me to make Thank You Cards to give to his care givers who have taken very good care of him over the past almost 3 months. He has lived an hour and a half away from his immediate family, so the care givers have stepped in and helped him emotionally and physically to support him through this very tough time in his life. He finishes up his radiation treatments next Friday and can go home. So I made this for him to give.
The instructions are below but if you want to watch the step by step video, here it is.
