I have TWO sets of chalks that haven't seen the light of day in years, but have never even thought to use them with stencils. Another technique to try before I leave this earth..oh my!

How frightening for her and your family, but I'm sure she'll be getting the best of care. Hopefully the lumpectomy will take care of the cancer once and for all and she will be one of the very fortunate ones. Mammograms are one thing that I've always been on top of, especially after I had an irregularity several years ago that resulted in a lumpectomy as well. Mine turned out to be non-malignant, for which I am very very grateful. I'll be thinking of Rachel and wishing her the best. Thanks for reminding us all of the importance of making our health a top priority.

Both cards are beautiful Darnell and even though you don't get on with blending, your pouncing is superb, both cards look fabulous!<br /><br />You know already how I feel about Rachel, I am just so thankful that it was caught early, that was so intuitive of her to go for the check up. I am keeping her (and you) in my thoughts and have my fingers crossed that all goes well going forward.<br /><br />Big hugs, Annie xxxxRedannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00927442847627008591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709379730385988881.post-67306937517693175342018-03-26T16:36:02.568-07:002018-03-26T16:36:02.568-07:00Hello, Darnell... long time (and I mean looong tim...Hello, Darnell... long time (and I mean looong time) no see! I don't even know where to start. Your cards are two great twofers. Personally I love that Tim stencil. Maybe with a little more "break dance", Hammy might help you with ink blending. Have you tried the new oxide inks on watercolor paper? They are supposed to work well together... hope this helps, although you've probably tried them already.<br />I'm so sorry to hear that your daughter-in-law had breast cancer. Fortunately it was diagnosed at an early stage, and she was wise. I was really surprised with the letter from the clinic. I have mammograms since my early 30s (when my mother was firstly diagnosed) every year. Maybe it helped the fact that there was other cases in my family, but still, five years is way too much without having one.<br />For what it's worth, some type of cancers aren't even detected with a self-exam, only by mammogram. Ask me how I know. I never had a lump, but I had breast cancer caused by a cluster of micro-calcifications. It's rare, but happens.Cris G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17471664987151605522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709379730385988881.post-62227421344821115942018-03-26T10:08:29.069-07:002018-03-26T10:08:29.069-07:00Love the stenciling Darnell, a technique I forget ...Love the stenciling Darnell, a technique I forget all too often.

Never tried to blend with them, but I might have to try. I do love a very CAS card like this. So brilliant for Christmas cards. I'm also very pleased to hear that your daughter in law's cancer was caught very quickly. I have no idea when they start mammogramming us here in the UK. I've never had an invite and so I'm off to look into it. I lost a friend in 2013 to agressive breast cancer when she was only 46 and now at 41, I realise it's time to start checking for things much more.
