I made a simple card, as I'm pretty much dead on my feet after having my son Kellan spend a night in pediatric ICU, then two more nights on the pediatric ward for an acute asthma attack. I'm hoping at his followup visit today they say we can taper the breathing treatments we've been doing every 4 hours round the clock since we came home on Saturday. It's been a super stressful week to say the least, especially trying to pull off a release while I was in the hospital. Thank goodness for wifi and an in hospital Starbucks!!! And today is Kellan and Trevor's 3rd birthday! So glad he didn't have to spend it in the hospital!
Anyhow, chocolate was one of my go-to's this past week, so I thought this If all else fails, there is chocolate sentiment from the Chocolate set was fitting. I had already stamped, colored and cut out the chocolate bar image from a previous project, then decided to pop in onto a circle cut from a Starbucks java jacket. The sentiment is stamped on pool party and I also stamped the dripping chocolate on the circle, then on my main layer and lined them up. The background is embossed with a Tim Holtz embossing folder and I lightly colored it with Pan Pastels.
Thanks so much for stopping by and thanks so much to everyone who said a little prayer for Kellan this past week. It is much appreciated.

Fun card, fun background!
Super cute card - love the combo of colors. So sorry to hear about your son. I hope things get better very soon - asthma attacks can be so scary but especially so when it's a little one.
Love the sunburst BG! Hope your life settles down to a less hectic pace and thankful to hear Kellan is home for his birthday! Can't believe the boys are three already!
So glad you are home. I hope you have a chance to recover a little this week. {{Hugs and prayers!}}
I'm so glad your little man is home. Birthday in the hospital would stink. Happy birthday to both little guys! Three already???
Your card is lovely. Some days that end of the day chocolate is the only bright spot. ;) Your card celebrates that.
