Last week a dear friend lost her battle with cancer. She was one of the first people to welcome me into the law enforcement family when my husband joined the Sheriff's department. We are close enough to her son and his family that my husband likes to intimidate their daughters' boyfriends (much to the girls' embarrassment!) and her son refers to our daughters as 'his other girls'. Needless to say, this card was not a 'fun' one to make, but sometimes little things like cards can say what we struggle to express.
Card Recipe: Cardstock-certainly celery, so saffron, whisper white, Delicate Dots DSP, Stamp Set-Word Play, Ink-bashful blue, Accessories-bashful blue grosgrain ribbon, basic pearls
My site is named after my Black Lab, Shadow. Shadow received his name by being my constant shadow including while I am crafting. The running joke in my family was that due to the whole 'Labs shed A LOT', everything I created had a signature 'Shadow' hair hidden somewhere... While Shadow is no longer with us, I am lovingly reminded of him every time a random hair shows up in my craft room. Like our loved ones, Lab hair never really leaves us and that is a pretty comforting thought!
A sad reason for your pretty card - but I'm sure this lovely home made offering will bring comfort to the receiver..
