Blog Hop for Ethan Pinter

Welcome to Blog Hop for Ethan Pinter. He is a little boy that is very sick. Here is a bio from his mom, Melissa Pinter: My name is Melissa Pinter and I have a 2 year old son name Ethan Pinter who was diagnosed with a rare liver disease called Biliary Atresia att the age of two months old. This is a rare disease because he was not born with Bio Ducts. So Dr. Pintinger and the Akron Children's Team reconstructed them and the procedure was called a Kasi. So at the age of 8 months old Ethan and I were Life flighted to Cincinnati Children's because he had Upper GI bleeds. The only thing that woud help him would be a New liver. Feb 18th 2011 he had recieved a half of another babies liver. This baby saved my son's life and we are so ever so greatful. Ethan and I had waited a total of 9 months for this. We have been seperated from my husband and daughter during that time. Ethan is now 2 years old and is having complications and we are currently living at the Ronald Mcdonald House in Cincinnati till we get him better. He has two crucial virus's that he is currently fighting, they are the EBV Virus and CMV Illuminitis (Fatal Virus- it attacks every organ) .

 Welcome and if you came from Courtney's blog then your at the right place, if not and want to start at the beginning you need to head over to Jenn's blog.

We found out at the beginning of this that Ethan likes Elmo and trucks. Since I had no Elmo cartridge I decided to make him a get well card with a truck on it and on the inside too. The front truck came from Just Because Cards cart. I took the sticker element and cut it for the card. The add the sentiment from a variety of places but all the words came from this cart other than the word flat it came from the Wild Card cart, nice font on that cart.

The inside of the card came from the Just Because cards cartridge too. This truck was the basis of the card. Learned something about the card cartridges that all the elements with the card follow the size of the card. Which at first I didn't know that and when I cut out a wanted 2.5" truck I got a 

The 1st image is at 1" not exactly what I wanted but the next image is right around 2" after I put the size on the cricut at 4.5" (the card size). I guess sometimes you have to think outside of the box when it comes to the cartridges.
Recipe for the card was a variety of scraps, scotch scrapbooker's glue and True Blue sticles
Stop back again tomorrow and check out the card I did for Melissa..


This was a fun card to make and I'm hoping that Ethan enjoys it too. If you would like to send a card to Ethan and his Mom Melissa you can send it to:
