Hi everyone! Earlier this week I was asked by a Mom at my girls' elementary school if I could make a couple of cards for two families who were going through some difficult times. Of course I said yes! I was really busy this week so instead of thinking up two cards on my own I decided to cruise the galleries at SCS and CASE a couple instead!
This card is a CASE ofthis beautiful card by Dawn Easton. I changed it a bit by flipping the sketch on it's side and using an oval for the main image, but this card was completely inspired by Dawn's card!! Thank you, Dawn!!!
This next card is a CASE of this gorgeousness by Amy Rohl. Sadly, this card needed to be a sympathy card which is something I never keep on hand. I really hope it brings the family some sort of comfort knowing there are many people out there praying for them. Thank you, Amy for your inspiration!
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Now go hug someone and let you know you love them!!
