Deepest Sympathies
Today's card is a sympathy card. It's always a hard card to make, but most especially when it it for a friend whose child has passed. No matter what age they are when a child passes it is hardest to imagine. Recently a high school classmate's daughter passed away. She was only 19. A brilliant, beautiful girl, taken too soon. My heart and prayers go out to my classmate and his family.
Below is my card.
Inside partially opened.
Inside completely open.
All of the stamps used on this card are from Close to my Heart #D1199 Come unto Me
My card takes a full 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of black cardstock cut in half at 5.50, and one piece cut at 5.50 x 3 inches. Score & fold one half piece of carsstock at 4.25 inches and set it aside. Then score and fold the other half at 2 inches, 5 inches and 7 inches. Mountain/Valley fold this piece of cs. Score and fold the 5.50 x 3 inch piece in half at 1.50 inches.
Assembly is pretty simple at this point. Take the 5.50 x 3 inch piece of cs and adhere 1.50 inch flap to the back of the base card (5.50 inches x 8.50 inches) leaving the other flap free. Adhere that free flap to the other 5.50 x 4.25 piece of carstock, joining them as one long base of 22 inches x 5.50 inches. Now you can stamp and decorate as you wish.

2018
Hello There!
Well it's 2018 and today I post my first card creation in this new year.
Below is a card I made for my Uncle Dud. You see, I am from south Louisiana originally and my dad's cousin Gladys whom everyone called T-Boone. I called her my Aunt T-Bone Steak! She loved that. Aunt T-Bone Steak and Uncle Dud (Dudley) Meaux lived in a small town in Louisiana - Abbeville. I used to love going to their house for visits. I can still conjure up in my mind the aromas coming from Aunt Gladys' kitchen. I miss her. She passed a couple years ago. Now Uncle Dud is a widower. But let me tell you something, he's going to be 90+ at the end of January and his mind is sharp as a tack. He touts the miracle remedies of dietary supplements like CoQ-10 and Selenium. Hey! Who and I to judge? He's in his 90s and still going strong!!! God love him.
Voila! Uncle Dud's birthday card.
