Love this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch and it's one I'm sure to use again.Unfortunately, I am in need of a few sympathy cards, and this is the first one to be created. One of my blog followers, Sharon Jones, lost her husband last week to a pulmonary embolism. My heart aches for her and her thirteen year old son.
I immediately reached for Verve's New Mercies set as I just love this verse in Hebrews - such a powerful verse. I over stamped the leaf image to pull in the pink from the paper and added a pink button and a bow to fulfill my "rule of three". Hoping this brings them some comfort. If anyone else knows Sharon and would like to send her a card, just let me know and I can forward you her address.
Spring break has been great so far, with a nice balance of house jobs/chores getting done and fun times together. We played Wii Sports doubles in tennis the other night and it was so much fun! Biggest hazard was trying to to get hit by your partner as they swung their Wii remote to hit the ball! Then on to the Wii Sports fitness challenge and I am proud to say this old gal scored an age of 29 - oh yah :) No old mama here - just a fierce competitor LOL!
Have a fabulous day!
What's In It?
Stamps: New Mercies (Verve), French Script (Stampin' Up)
Paper: Garden Florals (Recollections - Michael's), Kraft
