One of the reasons my daughter went into nursing was because she was heartbroken that her Aunt Teresa suffered unnecessary post-surgical complications that left her in a vegetative state. By being the best nurse she could be, she hoped someday she might prevent another family from suffering a similar tragedy. When my daughter found a cute giraffe outfit for her own baby boy, she wanted Teresa (who collected giraffe figurines for many years) to see her son wearing it. Unable to travel to visit Teresa at the time, she took a photo and asked me to make a card incorporating the picture.
The giraffe cut is from the Cricut cartridge Sugar and Spice. The papers are from somewhere within my massive stash. The envelope was made using the Martha Stewart Scoring Board. But none of that matters. The picture is the real treasure.
