With Sympathy

My friend Randee has had a very rough week. She lost her grandmother, who was very special to her. I made her this card to let her know she is special to me.

Stamps and Ribbon are PTI. Button is one of my favorite vintage finds (because she was worth it). The background paper is from the Recycled Stack from DCWV.

I'll be your umbrella

This card came about because of a major score in the clearance bin at Archiver's. I got a 198 piece "wellies and brellas" runbo set from Autumn leaves for 75% off! It wound up being $3.50 and I got pages and pages of unbrellas and boots. Such a deal. I still had the Sage Shadow Stampin Up paper out from my holiday thank you and it matched perfectly. Love that! I love my cuttlebug as well- there's nothing like a little texture to brighten up a card! I was flipping through the SU catalog to figure out what I "needed" (sale-a-bration time seems to be the only time I order from them now) and I think many of the cards in the catalog could do with a little texture...of course that's just me. And of course this card is in my clean and simple design. I did get another 25 copics for christmas, and I have been coloring- Honest! Just nothing I want to show off yet.....

You are in my Thoughts

I still had all of the scraps on m table from the card exchange last month, so when my mother said she needed a sympathy card I just grabbed a bunch of scraps and this is what I came up with! I think I would just keep making stuff with Amy Butler papers if I didn't stop myself. I also love that I cut some extra butterflies with my silhouette- they come in so handy!
