A tree for a friend - blog hop

Hi there and welcome if you are joining me from Kylie Bertucci's International Stampin' Up! Blog Hop!

The theme is thank you cards and I've recently remade this card, both for a friend to pass onto another friend who needed it, and for me to give to some very good friends of mine. They are so kind and generous to me, and to me they are very much sheltering tree and deserve so much gratitude! I don't know what I'd do without them, especially when I'm ill and they help me out.  They also really make me laugh, and laughter really is the best medicine!

A card doesn't need 'thanks' on the front to express the sentiment does it?

I hope you love the simplicity of the card as much as I do. I'm so relieved this stamp set isn't relieved this stamp set isn't retiring ... Yay!

Thanks for stopping by.

Sheltering Tree

Oh my, how much do I love this stamp set! It is from the spring/summer catalogue but I'm really pleased to share it's not going anywhere (hint hint look out for the new annual catalogue next month!).

The sentiments are just perfect and the tree fits right in with my nature obsession. This past month I've been minding my 2.5 year old nephew on and off and I'm pleased to say he's definitely inherited the love of nature. We've spent many an mindful minute listening to the leaves rustling, guessing which birds are singing or just admiring the fields of golden rape on our car rides! My mindfulness tutor will be pleased!

Anyway I've just whipped up this beauty using crumb cake, pink pirouette and wild wasabi colour combos and I think it is so pretty. It's all ready for when one of my fantastic friends is there for me when I really need them. I hate relying on people but having two pretty awful medical issues means I often have to, and their friendships and support really are a sheltering tree.

I hope you like it as much as I do!
