A Sympathy Card..............for a Friend

Hello everyone! What a great Sunday it has been, with a great service at church to a beautiful day outside. I hope your day has been just as good, if not better. I pray for blessings from God above to all my visitors and followers.

Today I created a sympathy card for a dear friend from church. I pray in some way, this card will let her know, she's in my thoughts and prayers.

The rose on this card, is one of the roses I created on the tutorial a couple of months ago. The three gems were clear, so I colored them with a sharpie marker. The dragonflies are punched out, then glitter glue was added to the center. The bow was created using the Craft Dee Bowz bow maker.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a blessed week. Hugs Brenda

Anniversary / Valentine Card

Hi everyone! Well, we're well on our way through February and what a great month for love. Yesterday was my daughter (Jess ) and son-in-law's ( Chris ) 8th anniversary. Jess wasn't feeling well yesterday and left from work early, so I thought I would help out on their special day. I picked up pizza ( Jess's favorite food ) and Red Velvet Cake cookies ( Chris loves red velvet cake ) and took it over to their house. I had made a handmade Anniversary card for them, the day before. For those of you that know me, you know I love buttons. I have so many buttons and I need to start doing something with them, instead of hoarding them. LOL! Much love went into this card, not just because I love my daughter and son-in-law, but because I love my buttons. This card can also be used as a Valentine card.

The teddy bear on the front of this card is an old Stampin Up rubber stamp.

The eyes for the bear are from Spellbinders Want 2 Scrap Nestabling. The cute little buttons that I used are from Itsy Bitsy Buttons.

The bow was made using Craft-Dee Bowz bow making tool.

As always, thank you so much for stopping by. Hugs Brenda
