Happy Tuesday, everyone! It's a gray, dreary day here in PA so I spent some time in my craft room as soon as I got up today, LOL! I can hardly believe it, but my friend who just lost her husband a few weeks ago, just lost her sister as well. So I used the sketch from Sunday Stamps to make her a sympathy card. Here's the sketch:
What a lovely sketch....basic yet have enough detail to use some of the new goodies I recently got from the Online Exclusives selections. Here we go:
Aren't these papers gorgeous?! They're called Everyday Happiness, and the diecuts are called Everyday Arches. They are AMAZING. I diecut an arch from some of the vintage book papers I had and did a coordinating one in Lost Lagoon. I stamped and watercolored an image from Country Flowers to add on top:
I added a sympathy sentiment from the same set, stamped in Lost Lagoon on Basic Beige:
My poor friend is so bereft; it's hard to know how to comfort her other than just to be there for her! Thanks for popping in today!
While there is death always in our sinful world, there is also life! My niece sent me these pictures of her new baby Ava and her oldest (not-quite-three-year-old) Cole:
This one brings tears to my eyes! How precious! It amazes me how wee ones love babies! They just know they are something to be treasured!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Hi LeAnne. This is Linda from Idaho. I really like your sympathy card you showed today. Yes, death is a hard experience to go through. It has been 3 1/2 years since Carl's death and I still have a hard time. It just changes your life
LeAnne, this is so pretty! I know your friend will appreciate this lovely card. The DSP is sooo lovely and the pitcher of flowers are lovely. The color combo and the newsprint paper are just perfect. Thank you for joining us at Sunday Stamps! That baby is so pretty and I know Cole is a proud brother. Precious!
Beautiful card!! Precious baby pictures...life and death...the circle of life!! I'm sure your friend will find comfort in your beautiful creation. Thanks for playing along with our "pretty frames" challenge over at Sunday Stamps!! You rocked our sketch with this adorable image!! Deb Horst,DT #SSC353
Yep, as pretty as it can be, LeAnne! and your friend will need and appreciate your shoulder for sure. It's almost too sad to imagine.
I am always delighted to see your latest baby photos - another beautiful addition to your family!
Gorgeous papers, LeAnne! I'm so sorry for your friend's loss. And what a beautiful reminder of new life. So sweet!
I'm so sorry to hear of your friend's loss. This pretty card is sure to bring comfort. Those babes are just precious! Congratulations on another addition to your family!
Beautiful card! Cole and Ava are beautiful!
Beautiful and so serene - I just invested in those arches too. A beautiful set of photos too - that last one really is precious!
