Hello, I made this card for this weeks Teapot Tuesday Challenge, MMTPT138.
This weeks Destination Station is to my Cousin Kim. He's only 41, and was recently diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer which has spread to his bones. I'm hoping these cards will help keep his spirits up.
Kim is a fan of the Boston Bruins, so I used those colours and hockey for the theme of my card.
The image is Hockey Riley, all decked out in his Boston uniform!

Lauri, so sorry to hear of your cousins battle with this stupid disease. My father battled it for 7 years (he was 80). My thoughts and prayers are with you and his family. This card is so cute.

BRUINS HOCKEY!!!!
- this should bring a smile to Kim's face - love that "Fight, fight, fight" chant from the adoring crowds in the embossing and all over the Background, and Riley, all fired up and colored like a Bruin, should get him motivated and inspired.
Great card Laurie - will be praying for Kim too!

Your coloring of adorable Riley is spectacular, Laurie! I love this "fight-themed" card for your cousin, and I'm sure he will, too, since you used his beloved Boston Bruins. What a terrific card!

What a great card for your cousin. I have added him to my prayer list and will forward his name to some serious prayer warriors. Wow - how inspiring his attitude is! This is seriously a great card!
