Unfortunately I've had to use/make a lot of sympathy cards lately.

Here is one that I did with the fun Cherry Blossom sequins.

Hopefully it brings a small smile to the recipient!

ENJOY!!!

Here is a card that I recently made for my friend Rosa's family.

Rosa passed away just over a week ago in a horrible car crash over the Labor Day weekend.

Rosa loved life!  Rosa lived her life to the fullest EVERY day!

Rosa was always smiling and made me laugh.

Rosa loved pink.

Three days before she died she tagged me to a butterfly card on Facebook 

and asked if we could make that card.

Well I didn't have those stamps ... but sure ... we could make a butterfly card Rosa.

Sadly ... before we could do that ... she passed.

But I made this card with pink butterflies for her family ... in honor of her.

I loved this sentiment from Charming Gardeners (now retired) as that fit her perfectly.

"Let us be grateful to those that make us happy, they are the charming gardeners to our soul"

Rosa was and always will be my Charming Gardener.

Here is another take on that card using current stamps and Mermaid butterflies.

At Rosa's funeral we had a fabulous balloon launch of balloons ... 100s of them

with lots of people there to honor her.

Miss you mi amiga!!!!

This card is simple yet ... oh so lovely!!!

Uses lots of different items but pulled together beautifully!

ENJOY!!!!

Life has been hard lately ...

but this is the GOOD life ...

and everything has changed for the BETTER!!!

other good things ... this MASON JAR STAMP SET!!!!

I just LOVE it!!!

ENJOY!!!

I was messing around with our butterfly dies and came up with this design ....

Now sure why I didn't come up with this before ....

I die cut with the bigger butterfly die and then had the medium one in it and 

popped up the white panel.

Added hello and washi tape and Viola!

ENJOY!!!!
