My dear son in law lost his grand father this month. His grandma is a real sweetheart and my heart breaks for her. She had endured many trials this year and now is without the man she was married to for 67 years. I wanted to just let her know I was thinking about her and that she will remain in my prayers, so I made this plain little card. I do hope it brings her a little joy in all her sorrow.
Three nurses where my mother resides, and I meet once a week to scrap and share ideas. We decided we would try doing a few challenges just for fun too so I found a sketch from Mojo Monday celebrating their 300th sketch. None of the ladies had ever done a sketch and I really thought this would be a wonderful one for a first. And it turned out to be great. Their creations were wonderful.
Anyway, this is what I made from the sketch. I chose the pink and green because they are one of my favorite color combos to scrap with. I don't get to use pink too often when scrapping for the nine grand sons! I inked and sewed edges. I am not sure where the main sentiment is from but the circle sentiment is from Clear Dollar.....am so sad to see them closing. I used my good old nesties for the circle around it. The leaves are also a Spellbinder die. The papers are all just scraps out of my little (big) scrap stash.
I do not usually post the inside of my cards but thought I would this time. It is fairly plain also. The sentiment is from Clear Dollar. I am so glad I bought the stamps before they went digi and now out of business. :-(
Thank you so much for stopping by. Hugs to all and may God watch over you and keep you safe.
