With Sympathy...CR84FN32 2nd Week 67

Mona Pendleton | Saturday, June 25, 2011 @ 8:55 PM | CR84FN , JustRite , My Mind's Eye , Spellbinders

Hi there! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend :) Can't wait to show you what I've been working on for both the upcoming Waltzingmouse Stamps and JustRite Stampers July release which begin on Tuesday, June 28th.

I made this Sympathy card for my sweet blogging friend and CR84FN design team~mate, Heather Jensen who's Mom recently passed away. You can read more details regarding her situation HERE. Please keep Heather and her family in your thoughts and prayers during these difficult times.

I started with some gorgeous My Mind's Eye patterned paper added a few fabric flowers from Michael's and a multi-layered die cut butterfly. The darling sentiment tag was made by stamping the With Sympathy stamp using Memento ink from JustRite Stampers Just Because Mini Sentiments then cut using a die template from JustRite Stampers Happy Everything Mini Tag - Kit. For sketch inspiration, I played along with this week's Sketchbook Saturday's Challenge #17.

Thanks so much for looking! Please hop on over to CR84FN for COMPLETE details on how to join in the fun and for some for some new inspiration this week, please visit the following designers blogs:

Deborah

Suzanne

Heather

Supplies:

Stamps: JustRite Stampers Just Because Mini Sentiments
Die Templates & Machine: JustRite Stampers Happy Everything Mini Tag - Kit, Spellbinders™ Floral Doily Motifs, Butterflies Two, Grand Calibur
