Just Because Laney Bug Card

This is the first Easel Card I have ever made.  I really wanted to make one for a little angel's parents that lost their 3 year old daughter.  Her name is Delaney Wadsworth they called her Laney Bug because she loves Ladybugs.  Delaney passed away 2 weeks ago due to 100% fatal brain tumor called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG).  If you are interest in her story you can find her journey on Facebook at Prayers for Delaney.  You can also read an awesome article view pictures and watch a video of her here.  There is an address for the family on her facebook page and in the article at the link above if you are interested in sending her family a card. 

I made this card for Delaney's family but also wanted to incorporate it into challenges to try and bring more awareness for DIPG.  I realize it is not a traditional type of card for a grieving family but it is what I felt I had to create with her in mind.
