Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop

Hello! Welcome back to another Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog hop! Join us each week as artisans from around the world share our creativity with you!

This week we are featuring our facebook projects. I decided to use the Mother's Love set (which is on sale this week, yay!) to create a sympathy card.


It is a tradition for me every April to create a few sympathy cards to have on hand. I started this tradition 7 years ago after my best friend passed away a day before her 29th birthday while giving birth to her precious son. It was such a tragic loss that the absolute last thing on my mind was creating a sympathy card. It was the first time in years that I had bought a card.


So now, as a tribute to my amazing friend, how beautiful and precious the gift of life is, and to the promise and hope of resurrection and everlasting life, I create cards to have on hand and be prepared for such sober occasions. Somehow, it brings me solace.

 In loving memory

    Stunning card Becky. Sympathy cards are the hardest to make, but oh so important.

    What a beautiful way to celebrate Becky's life; I am sure you think of her while you make your gorgeous cards. I like the idea of setting a particular month/time to make sympathy cards, as it is always hard to be forced into making one, especially in a situation such as your friend's was. Life is indeed precious.

    A beautiful memory for your friend. This especially touched me as it was the same time that I was expecting the arrival of my second child. It makes us think how precious life is. xx
