Dainty Flowers Phrases

I LOVE Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper. This is their Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper and was FREE with any Stampin' Up! $50 purchase during SaleABration. It was a challenge trying to use this directional pattern. But....

This is perfect for the Designer Series Paper that has a directional design to it. This allows you focus on the pattern and keep the pattern throughout the sections. The tutorial can be purchased below.

With Sympathy

It seems like the world is literally dying, day by day. Winter is a depressing season; everything seems frail and silent. It seems the older you get, the more you realize life is so very fragile. The second anniversary of the day God called home the first of my parents' legacy. Jennifer, my niece, is coming soon. At a moment's notice, God reminds you what you are missing. You are missing a part of you and it really doesn't get any easier. 

My parents are both gone and they left behind their eight children. Gail, David, Susan, Beth, John, Paul, Jim and Amy. There I am, in the middle, sharing the spot with my brother John. The first of my parents' children, John, passed away today. I really didn't think that today, the sympathy card I was designing would be used so quickly.

Sympathy Card

When a mother loses a child, the loss is unmeasurable. The bond between mother and child happens at conception. This was a difficult occasion to make this card. I am very pleased that my hours paid off. I am so pleased with this card, I am sure you will agree.
