Doodle Pantry 'Pirate Birdie'

Here's a card I made awhile back for the April 'Stock the Pantry' challenge which use to be on the Crafter's Digital Art Center, but has since moved to the Doodle Pantry Blog. I posted it on CDAC, but couldn't fit a posting on my own blog until now. The challenge was simple: Just make a card with a Doodle Pantry Image. I used the 'Pirate Birdie' set, an 'I Love to Stamp' sketch, and paper from DCWV 'All About Boys' which works GREAT with this digital stamp set. The sky was colored with chalk and a stencil, and I used a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder called 'Mesh' for the background. Well I've been blessed all winter without ever getting sick once; which is really amazing since I work in retail and I am constantly exposed to all sorts of germs. But now I've come down with a terrible, terrible cold. I have total laryngitis. I was suppose to sing on my worship team at church this morning, but obviously that didn't happen. It's such a weird feeling when you open your mouth to sing and nothing comes out but air. I haven't been able to sing for about 4 days now, and you what? I miss it! It's awful not being able to sing. I was driving to work (yes, I'm still going to work and grossing all the customers out. In retail, you always have to find someone to take your shift and since I usually start at 6:00 or 7:00 a.m., I just can't bear myself to pick up the phone and start calling people at 4:00 or 5:00 a.m. LOL!) and felt so inspired to harmonize with a worship song, but no words would come out. It's so depressing. I hate being sick. Hopefully my misery will end soon, in the meantime, off to work I go.

Have a great day! Amy

  6. Your card is sooo cute! I'm sorry you are sick. I remember when my husband lost his voice a couple years ago (he is lead singer in his band) and couldn't talk for almost two weeks...only whisper. I missed hearing him so much... I'm praying for a speedy recovery for you.
