Happy in Apathy

Happy Wednesday!  Or maybe not.  Wet hen upset on my homefront but know it will soon pass.  These things take time.  Just keep breathing.  :-)  My cards for today are simple.  In fact, I am going back to CAS again . 
The first is a one layer with a pop up heart punch.  The rest is stamping.  It so reminds me of when I first started stamping.  Perhaps I have not progressed as much as I thought?  This is for my Crafty Creations Challenge this week which is "Get Well".

I am sending out get well wishes to a friend of mine and hope that she is back to her self soon.  Also want to say a prayer for those struck by the tornadoes in Joplin.  What  devastation they have endured.   Horrible storms are occurring every week it seems.  It reminds me that I don't have time to be angry, instead I need to seek those I love and thank them.  Thank you for reading this!
Supplies:
cardstock: Recollections white
stamps: Scenic Route  Smile frame and CTMH Say It Style sentiment

Fabulous cards and lovely post!

These are so cute Amy! Love the second one especially- so bright and fun. Sometimes I think CAS are harder to make than all those layers because you need precision and have to plan everything out.

Both cards are fabulous. I have also been mindful, of those who have been dealing with so much devastation. And I try to remember that the stuff that I am dealing with is nothing in comparison. Blessings ~ Tameko
