Happy day-after-Christmas, everyone! I have been MIA with all my holiday preparations, but sadly, I needed another sympathy card this week! I snuck into my craft room a couple days ago and made this simple card. It uses the sketch from Inspire.Create, and the colors from Creative Colour Challenges:
I pulled out an old wooden stamp from Stampscapes, along with some DSPs and this is what I came up with:
I used Basic Beige for the stamped panel and card, and Country Woods and Countryside Inn DSPs. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I was surprised how nice the Blueberry Bushel ink looked on the Basic Beige cardstock:
I used an older Our Daily Bread Designs verse for the inside, along with a Hero Arts sentiment as well:
My only embellishment was some Basic Beige ribbon. The family who lost their mom used to have a bed and breakfast called the Log House, so I thought this image was appropriate. So glad you popped in today!
So on Christmas, I had most of my immediate family, their children and grandchildren, for dinner and dessert. That included four boys, ranging in ages from one to nine! And Maven was in the mix too with her almost-one-year-old voice! The noise was deafening, but it was fun. I recently saw a clip on FB where parents gave babies a choice of two things to play with; one was a toy and the other was something like a box, a spoon, or just something that you wouldn't think would capture their eye, but every time, the child went for the non-toy item! Maven's mom sent me this video, which totally reinforces that idea (along with the dads who were involved as well!); be sure to turn up the audio, because listening to this little Cole laugh just made me laugh too:
And here's that little Maven herself with Aunt Dana! (And she was playing with a spoon!)
They just grow up so fast! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

This is a beautiful card, LeAnne! I'm so sorry you needed another sympathy card. I'm also tickled to hear the giggles! They do grow so fast and we need to treasure each and every little giggle.
That image could not be more perfect or beautiful for your card, LeAnne. I also love the navy on cream card - and those darling giggles!

What a beautiful card! Sorry it had to be a sympathy card but I know the family will appreciate it. Those littles are so cute! and the giggles are priceless!
Your pretty sympathy card is sure to bring comfort, Leanne. I'm so sorry you needed another one. Baby giggles are the best! I remember the days of papa pushing Sweet P around in a box or laundry basket. She wanted papa top play choo-choo with her the minute he came home from work!
Beautiful card. So sorry you needed a sympathy card.
Your card is special and the video was way too short! Happy New Year, my friend.
Pretty blue card! And it sounds like everyone had a great time at your house!
