sympathy, freebies

I don't like to make sympathy card, but when I had to make on for a dear friend I found this cartridge in the craft room for free "Art Nouveau"

I liked the way it turned out so I made 12 more.

now I am ready but I hope I don't need one for a very long time.

It has been a while

few more to catch on..

this set of   bears went on top of a cake for my sister grandchildren (twins) they turned 4, and oops, I forgot to make them their cards, so this ended up being the cards this year.

a sympathy card

taken to young

today is a sad day, My cousins daughter at the age of 24 was in a car accident and died as a result of her injuries.    it took me awhile to make these cards because I had 2 to make one for my cousin and her family and one for my godparents who are Nicole's grandparents.

                       I had 2 butterflies from the first card and added them to the inside of the 2nd

                                               one of God's angels, Nicole, went home...8-9-14

sympathy

Hello to all, Yesterday between church services , one of or members had died.She had been in a home for a very long time with Alzheimer. She was 86.  I have known the family for over 30 years, because my daughter and her granddaughter went to school together, what is so nice is these kids still keep in touch.
I made 2 cards at the same time because it seems that deaths run in 3's. Don't know why, they just do.

sympathy for family

Good morning to all, now let me see if I remember what I am doing to post my cards, it has been a while!
things have been crazy around here for some time now, with my mother having back surgery this summer to them finding a mass on her lung during a routine x-ray and it turning out to be cancer, they removed 40% of her left lung, For everything she has been through this year, she is doing well. She decided not to go with the chemo and radiation, because she is just wore out and the treatments are not guaranteed. She is 84 and we kids respect her decision.
On Nov. 2nd my daughter was in a car accident, we are blessed she is alive, she got severe whip lash, her left should is banged up and her back, the chiropractor did not sugar coat anything when he talked to her, he also said that she could be worse off and be paralized.

this first card is for my husbands cousin who lost his wife yesterday, she was only 64,  Not only are sympathy cards hard for me to make, but it also being winter (no butterflies) so I hope this is fine!

12 Christmas cards made with spellbinders poinsettia

 2 winter birthday cards Heather and Alex

 I must say this snowflake background was a little problem, until I put a new blade in!

yes,,, you are seeing 2 cards!!

good morning to all, Friday my s-i-l ended up at the ER with verdego (sp)? any way it being a weekend they kept her in the hospital, it is not something anyone want to experience. My b-i-l had it years ago, ended up having surgery to fix it. later on Friday my hubby gets a phone call that his uncle has died. Not clear on how he died.   so I had 2 cards to make...

 

lost both Aunt and Uncle

yesterday my mom calls to tell me that my Aunt  and Uncle both passed with in hours of each other. They both were in their 90's and lived a good life. They had been married for over 73 years. I will not be able to attend the funeral because of a surgery I will have on Friday. But I will be with them in spirit.

2 more sympathy cards

these cards are going out 6 months late, but I just found out about a church members husband/fathers passing. between not getting the paper and not attending church most of the summer, I totally missed his passing. And yes I feel bad about it.

In Loving Memory of Laura

Hello to all,
Sympathy cards are always hard to make, this one even harder than most. Laura was a fighter but after 3 years of first breast cancer, then liver cancer, her body could not take any more. She passed on to a better place this morning,  til the end, her faith was strong and always said how blessed she was. Laura was a young woman with 2 children and loving husband, she will be missed.
