With My Sympathy....

I haven't been on my blog in a while. I have been really busy making cards but haven't had a chance to put them up. I was blog hopping and came across a girl Sarah Gough. WoW! She has a great style and I just love the layout of this card. I copied her layout here. If you want to check out her stuff she's on MFT blog.
My boss at work's mother passed away unexpectedly. I thought that I would make here this card. I probably won't see her until next week to give it to her....The thought right.

My mother just called me to tell me that my uncle who has been sick for a very long time finally passed away. He struggled with heart disease. I think that I will send this card to the daughters on that side of the family. I thought that I would share this card in other ways too.

Im so Sad, I Could Just Cry!

Technique: Polished stone technique which consists of Alcohol inks, and glossy paper. I have been trying to perfect this for some time and our local stamp store that has a monthly class- Stamp sista's. I couldn't believe how easy and figured out what I was doing wrong all this time. Glossy paper, Tim Holtz alcohol inks, Tim Holtz blending tool with felt applicators. You put a few drips of the color your trying to achieve in little dots on the felt. Not to touch each other, then add a mixative like the gold, silver or pearl. Then add the alcohol blending solution over that and pounce on the glossy card stock and voila! Beautiful results. Never the same either. I also added this card to a contest on Moxie fab world stamping stamping techniques. Check it out

Cherish

My DD has an earache probably swimmers ear. DQ all the way. Anyways, I have been making sure that she is ok She thinks that she is going to die and be left disfigured and deaf. she always thinks of the worst of any situation. I tried to tell her it is water in the ear and its blocked up and with pain equals swimmer's ear. remedies which everyone that I have talked to today has a different one. The MD is of course closed today so, we decided to do the Vinegar and Alcohol. Heat and rest and an advil. Hopefully it will work wonders and she will stop being so worried that she is going to die today. While she is on the couch praying it to go away I made this card. I hope you like.

You are so Beautiful!

Wow! Have you ever have a conversation about someone and find out in the conversation that the person was so private that no-one knew that they were ill and then find out that a week or so they passed away. Again Wow! I just found out that one of my father's friends passed away with lymphoma and no one knew. I am just blown away. Last month they just had a new arrival. the first gran baby too. I thought that I would make a bright sympathy card for them. Jan was a beautiful ,bright, always said what was on her mind. Fitting huh! Sorry for the bad news but it is a cheery card.

Oh So Sad!

Awwww! I am so sad today. We have a birdhouse at the end of our stairs in a garden with chickadee's and something got in there and killed the parents and 7 babies. I am so upset. They were so innocent and we were so excited that they were so close to our house and not afraid of us right in the walking path to be hatching babies. We would watch the progress daily. I decided to make this sympathy card. So true, Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
