Pocket Challenge - Eclips

This was a different, but interesting, challenge. We were asked to make a pocket (such as a pocket or envelope for insertion of Ephemera). I have an artist friend, Susan Deming, who is so talented. I asked if I could use some of her designs to make pocket art. This is what I came up with. Oh, and I sent her the finished project.

It's hard to see where the pockets are as I matched them up with each other pretty good. There are actually four pockets, but I used only the lower 3. I didn't want to cover up the darling house on the top of the hill by a tag. It was a bit of a puzzle to get things aligned and make it work, but it eventually came together.

Here's the card with the tags inserted.

And, a view of the back.

A Sweet Friend's Journey

 My dearest friend underwent a bone marrow transplant on 4/24, and with it being "covid time," no one was allowed to be with her in the hospital for her entire stay. Desvastating! 

I decided to make her a box with a card to open everyday she was in the hospital. The box was made of chipboard, so it's very sturdy. I made over 30 cards, and my daughter made some darling felt foods that we interspersed throughout the cards.

I put tabs on all of the envelopes with dates on which date to open the card.

My daughter made these darling felt foods.

When she arrived home, we had a revised drive by, I guess you'd call it a "stand by," as none of us could get anywhere near her because she had no immune system. I made a banner for the garage door, and friends and family brought balloons and posters, and we call cheered as she arrived home.

I also made a banner for her bedroom, with photos of all of her family and friends.

Our girl is an amazing warrier, and is fighting and keeping the most positive attitude. We could not be more proud of her. She's getting stronger every day.

Fighting the good fight...and winning!
