Stamping for Families Blog Hop

Hi friends!  It has been a while since I've posted here on my blog due to my broken ankle craziness but I wanted to come out healing mode to participate in this really special blog hop.  As a birth mother, adoptive mother,  foster mother and an aunt to 21 nieces and nephews, I am hopping along today to show my love and support for all of the children who are caught in the middle of our country's border policy with Mexico.  

While I'm not here to argue politics with anyone,  I do want to say that my heart always has been and always will be, on the side of the children.   These innocent children were brought here and put in a traumatic situation thru no fault of their own.   They are scared and hurting because of the poor choices and senseless policies that were carried out by the adults around them.  We are all guilty of wanting the best for our kids.  We want them to grow up safe and healthy and happy.  Most parents do the best they can to make this happen but some are faced with many obstacles that leave them feeling desperate and destitute.  I can only imagine how desperate a mother must be to make such a hard and treacherous journey with a child on her hip.  

With that image in mind I decided to make this card.  In honor of  my three girls.  Each one coming to me with a different story.  Each one following their own path but all of them having one thing in common, their love for their mothers.

For this card I used the following supplies:

Stamps:  Shady Canopy (Penny Black), City Girls Park Life (The Ton), Travel Wagon (Unity Stamps).

Ink:  Green Tea, Eucalyptus, Spruce, Icing on the Cake, Midnight (Catherine Pooler Designs), Tumbled Glass Distress (Ranger),  Copic markers.

Paper:  Neenah Solar White 110 lb.

Accessories:  City Girls Park Life coordinating dies (The Ton), fun foam.

In the link below, you can follow along the path of some other beautiful crafters who are expressing their love for these children thru their card making today.  Also, if you are feeling inspired to make and share your own lovely card in this hop, you can add it to the link below.  Sandy Allnock is offering a free seat in her classroom to one lucky hop participant and also for one lucky commenter on her blog.   So be sure to stop  by and say "hi!".
