A magnificent Saturday to each and every one of you!!!! I had my follow-up visits this week with the oncologists and chemo folks and the word is that now I must endure 6-8 weeks of radiation EVERYDAY...Gosh!! Do I have time for all of this??? I guess I will make time!! On Monday I have mammos, gamma imaging, and who knows what all of those other tests are?? BUT the good news is that they will also remove the port in my chest that they have so happily used for all of the chemo treatments...so that's a great sign!!!! Let's keep our fingers crossed for the best of all worlds...smile!!!!!
I am so pleased to be able to show you the card I have done for the Magnolia-licious challenge for the month of July which is a stand-up card. You can find all particulars and the link for instructions on the Magnolia-licious High-lites site so I hope you will join with us this month and let us all see your magnificent creations.
For my card, I used Bazzill for the base...all matting is PTI, and the small touch of DP is from the Papermania Rose Garden Collection. That sweet little Sitting Wedding Tilda and the lovely Wedding Rose Arch are both from Magnolia-licious and I am thinking they are both available and can be used for so many occasions and events!! The Arch and Tilda were stamped on Cryogen White and of course Tilda was stamped twice and cut out so that she could be propped up with dinensional tape. I colored all with Copics and for all of the flowers I used a technique presented by Susie Haghighi last year some time which uses two colors of Liquid Pearls (Ruby Red and Pastel Raspberry) swirled together with a toothpick--I added dots of Lemon Yellow to the centers. I used pink gingham ribbon and ruffles, all from Really Reasonable Ribbon, to the base of the card and to the outside edge of the stand-up, placing several tulle/mulberry roses (Thanks, Suzan...hugs!!) on the base and on the leaf ribbon vine. To finish the card I added a couple of organza butterflies and Bow-Easy flat bows.
For the jotting side of the card, I left it very simple and added more bows. I hope you like my little submission to the Magnolia-licious Challenge!!!
WINNER...please forgive me for being late with this announcement but I have not had time this week to be on-line very much because of appointments, tests, etc. But my sincere thanks to everyone who dropped by to leave their thoughts. The winner of the Flower Soft SWEET STUFF is...
Auntie Em who said:
I am so glad you have the worst of the treatments behind you. There are too many wonderful things to do and see to be ill and I think you know how to enjoy them all! Beautiful card, as always! Thanks for sharing your time and talents! :o)
So it looks as though this surprise is going to New Brunswick, Canada. Auntie Em, please contact me before Wednesday, July 7 at Noon DST so that I can get your package to you right away!
My sincere thanks to each of you for dropping by to see what's happening in my jumbled up world! It is a much happier and kinder place because you are all such a very important part of it. The many comments, emails, etc that you send to me, have made my life much nicer and I appreciate the constant encouragement so much...Enjoy your weekend and I hope to see you all again real soon! Big hugs for all!!

Just BEAUTIFUL, Jacque!!! Such a great combination of techniques you've used : ) I love the inspiration you bring to so many!
You have gone through the worst of things already, my friend. What seems like endless test and doctors... will indeed come to an end AND you will have this as a distant, although painful memory in the years to come.
Lifting up prayers of continued strength and perseverance!!!
I bury myself in my crafts to keep my mind from dwelling on 'scary' thoughts. Cancer was a reality, but it is NOT who we are! I speak VICTORY and healing into your life in Jesus' Powerful Name ♥
Love and hugs ~

This is stunning Jacques. What beautiful bright colours for this gorgeous image. Just love it all.
I must apologise for being a bad blogger and missing your posts for ages now. I have browsed through all the posts I've missed now. Your blog is so inspiring, I love to visit you often and hopefully I will manage that now.
Thinking of you as you face all these weeks of radiation. I suppose it will be worth it in the end but you have endured so much already!
Stay strong,
Kat xx
WOW! I am in ♥ with this card Jacque! Stunning, love the pink and white. Fingers will be crosses, hope it's all worth it in the end. hugs ♥
Wowza!! This is gorgeous!!!
Sorry to hear that you have to go through more treatment. I have a dear friend that went though all that with breast cancer in both.. she went through the chemo, double mastectomy, then radiation... Now she is feeling wonderful. I hope your treatment goes well and you are feeling fabulous soon.
This creation is just gorgeous!! I love all the pink.
WOW!!!! this is simply wonderful. LOVE the colors and your creation for the pop-up. Truly inspiring. Sorry to hear about your upcoming treatments. Bring a favorite card you have created and think of all the wonderful creations you will do in the future!
Hugs,
Carolyn
First, thank you Jacque for the lovely goodies! You are so very generous! And now that you have come through the worst of the cure, you can do the rest of these treatments!!! We will all be here cheering you on!
Your card creation today is another sweet work of art! It's so dainty and feminine! It does remind me of the little vanity boxes! Thanks for sharing! :o)
What a stunning card! I've never made one like that so I'm definitely going to pop over to Magnolia-licious to check out the instructions. Thank you as always for sharing your inspiring creations.
Wow!! You're talent never ceases to amaze me! B-e-a-utiful card. So sorry that you now have to undergo radiation. Cheering for you along the way. Let the count down go quickly. Hugs to you.
Beth Greco
This is soooo pretty Jacque! Love that paper!! I'll cross my fingers for you. Sending very good thoughts your way. (((HUGS)))
Jacque, There are no words to describe how gorgeous this card is!! It's gorgeous x 10!!I love everything about it!! What a beautiful scene that you have created!!
Love and Hugs,
Suzan
Another incredible card! I've been told that the radiation doesn't beat you up nearly as much as the chemo dragon. I certainly hope that's true in your case! As for time, just get yourself a time stretcher, LOL. (Let me know where you got it, OK?) The one good thing about the radiation is that once they get the target programed (assuming, of course, that this is the same as my friends) each procedure is really fast. Takes longer to get there and get home! That should leave you with some creative time left.
You know that we'll all be thinking of you! Will be looking for your next post. Meanwhile have an absolutely marvelous 4th of July holiday weekend!
Hugs,

Fab card Jacque. You are a card making artist!
