Milestones for Stephen + commissioned card

Good morning Bloggers, I hope you are all well or getting there...hugs
A couple of milestones for Stephen this week, the first on Tuesday when they said he could have normal fluids instead of them being thickened with some horrible stuff, and the second was yesterday when they gave him normal food instead of everything being mashed up. He ate his chicken curry with real gusto :o) He is still saying only about 4 words, but hopefully the rest will come with time!
Anyhow, this card was commissioned by my very good friend Jean for her great-granddaughter and she loved it, thank goodness. It took me several days to make it between work and hospital visiting but I got there in the end!



White base card is from stash, folded to A5.
Papers and images are from an old FF CD.  I printed the stars onto linen card and then cut the 3 out on the Cricut using one of the fonts in SCAL (sorry, forgot which font I used!).
I stuck the negative inside and the positive I raised with sticky foam pads.
I cut the little bears out by hand, and what a fiddly job it was too, then raised them with sticky pads too. Sentiment is computer generated then punched with SU.
I hope that Jaylei liked it :o)

Hi Jackie,

I was so pleased to read about Stephen now having solid food instead of the mushy food - that is a great step in his recovery.

I adore your card - love the layout with those cute Forever Friends bears which I love so much. Very clever to use the negative of the 3 on the inside. I never think to look at the negative pieces - what a great idea :-)
