News + Butterfly Sympathy

Hey guys. Some of you may have noticed that I took the entire month of July off from blogging. I mentioned in a post in June that my best friend's husband was in the hospital in ICU and it was a trying time on all of us. My friend ended up staying at my house for several weeks while her husband was in the hospital because I live closer, and she wanted to be able to visit him everyday.

Her husband unfortunately passed away in July so it has been a very emotional time for us all. So, the card that I have for you today is a sympathy card in honor of Ryan. It is never easy saying goodbye to someone that we care about. I want to say a big thank you to all of you who prayed for both Heather and Ryan.

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.
