Bundle Of Love

Happy Sunday! I hope your weekend has been a good one. We are enjoying spring like weather here and it is suppose to last all week. Super happy about that. I hope the weather is just as nice where you are. I finally got the new medicine for my shoulder and it has been helping some but I have to be careful not to take to much or it upsets my stomach. I also found out what was suppose to be a free yearly visit turned out to cost over $400.00 because I had a new problem. Have you ever heard anything so crazy? Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it now though so we will have to pay it. In the future we are going to have to get everything in writing before we go which is going to be a pain in the butt but we can't afford to continue to pay this much out of pocket. It really sucks when you have to think about how much something is going to cost before you can get health care. On top of that Emilia got sick last week and when I called for advice they wanted me to bring her in but told me she would have to have a fever of 100.4 or higher for 3 days before they would do anything. Needless to say I didn't take her in and thankfully she is doing better now. Hopefully this week we won't have any health care drama. Today I want to share this card I made using Jens Sketch For You to Try
This is what I came up with
I started by resizing the sketch to 5.50 inches. Next I stamped the stork and baby from the PTI Bundle Of Love set then paper pieced the sling the baby is in with papers from the Follow Your Heart. After that I used the PTI fence die and Rustic Cream cardstock, embossed it with a woodgrain pattern and distressed it. Next I added more patterned paper from the digital kit then stamped the sentiment also from Bundle Of Love. Finally I added a piece of Autumn Rose Cardstock embossed with tiny dots, a sweet blush button tie with white linen ribbon and some machine stitching. I also wanted to update you on the recipe I shared in my last post. It was pretty good but next time I would use garlic powder instead of real garlic to give it more flavor. It was also tasted more like a soup than a chili. I also wanted to answer a question that was left in the comments about gluten free bread. My favorites are Udi's and Rudis but if you want to make your own Bob's Redmill has some good mixes. I am going to be trying this recipe on Tuesday night
I will be using corn taco shells instead of tortillas. I will let you know how it turns out. That's all for now. I hope the rest of your day is a good one and you have a great week.
