With Sympathy Cards

Hey guys.

I mentioned in Monday's blog posts that I had recently lost two members of my family. The first was my uncle in March followed by my great uncle in April. I needed to make a few sympathy cards and I wanted to keep them as simple as I could, since I wasn't in a particularly crafty mood.

The cards that I made are actually the same, I just oriented them differently. I used a sketch that I found as my inspiration for these cards (http://mojomonday.com/Sketches/Mojo435Sketch.gif).  I actually think that my favorite of the two is the portrait one, maybe it is because the flowers that I used were so large but it just reads slightly more polished to me. But I liked how each of them turned out in the end and that I was able to make two cards at the same time that are both similar and different.

Mother's Day 2014 Cards

Since my last post shared the Mother's Day cards that I made last year, I felt it was only fitting to share the cards that I made this year as well.

 

The first card shown below is the one that I made for my mom this year. Pink and Green paired together are a great color combination and they help each other to pop. This card was simple to make but still has an elegant and classic feel.

Below is the card that I made for one of my Aunts, it is a card that could be made for multiple occasions. It is full of bright colors and the feeling of Spring.

 



 

Mother's Day 2013 Cards

I was going through my card box to take stock of my inventory and I discovered quite a few that I had yet to post pictures of. I know I promised pictures of my Christmas albums but I still need to pull the photos off of my phone, so in the mean time I will upload the cards that I have come across.

 

These first 3 where Mother's Day cards. The first two I gave away (one to my mom and the other to my aunt) and the third is still in my "inventory"
