Sympathy Card

 Hello everyone. I have a Sympathy card to share with you today.
I made this card to send to a friend whose hubby passed away recently.



This card was put together using a very old card kit from The Netherlands, so I don't have information on the dies used.  In addition to the bits and pieces that came in the kit, I used the Mini Labels stamps from Marianne Design to stamp the sentiment.  The decoupage flower is from a cutting sheet by Nel van Veen.  I didn't photograph the inside of the card, because I had already written my message when I realised that I had not taken a pic. It is very simple though - just a white mat to write my personal message.

I always struggle with this type of card.  I always feel that I can't find the right words to express the sadness I feel for my friend, especially when they are so far away and there is nothing I can do to help, you know?  Do some of you also feel the same way or is it just me?  

Hugs,

Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round ~ I'll be Home for Christmas

  Hello and welcome to this month's Christmas challenge at
 Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round.


Our inspiration song for May's challenge is 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅯 I'll be Home for Christmas 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅯.  This means that you can use any verse, phrase or word in the song to create your Christmas project.  Here are the lyrics of this song for your inspiration

~ I'll be Home for Christmas ~ 
I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas (I'll be home for Christmas)
You can count on me (you can count on me)
Please have snow (have snow) and mistletoe (yeah)
And presents under the tree (under the tree)
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams
In my dreams, my dreams
My dreams.

I went with the "I'll be home for Christmas" and " Please have snow and mistletoe" and created this card.
