So did my post title catch you off guard? 'Strip Please' is the name of the newest challenge over at Hope You Can Cling To on Split Coast Stampers. the idea is to use strips of paper or cs behind your main image. I went a weeeeeee bit sassy with my interpretation and grabbed this oh, so fun digi from That's Fabulous on Etsy for mine. She has the most outrageous digis that capture vintage and a bit of sass all at the same time. some are flat out beautiful, too.
When Victoria was trying to come up with a challenge theme for HYCCT, I was telling her that I was constantly being told to dis-robe by one doctor, nurse, or medical technician for test after test, exam after exam. She loved the idea so much she named her challenge after it! :)
papers are Basic Grey Serendipity cut with a MFT chevron die. perfect way to use those thin scraps! pretty flower is also from Etsy. buttons are from my vintage stash. lots and lots of shimmerz paint, stickles, and spica glitter pen accents on here for that glam touch. the ribbon was part of a gift, so I'm sorry I don't have the mfg.
I had some bad news today from my radiation oncologist regarding my cancer. I have a lot of tests and biopsies to go through in upcoming days, so will only be posting short messages with my cards for HYCCT and World Card Making Day. I want to spend as much time with my family as I can. all of the boys will be home this weekend and I need the time with them desperately. I do hope you can understand.
hugs and lots of love to you! :)

I love this card - so naughty but nice! I hope you get some better news soon. Treasure your moments with your boys this weekend. I bet they can't wait to see you too! x

I'm so sorry that the news is not better, if only good wishes could push cancer away then crafters would never ever have to deal with it. Sending you much love.
I continue to pray for you, Jennifer. Family time is so important. I hope you can enjoy it to its fullest. Hugs to you, my friend.
So sorry to hear you're getting bad news again Jen. :-( Keep looking up sweetie. He'll never leave you. Praying for you and thinking about you. Big hugs!
