Mayberry Sympathy Card

I made this card for PaperCrafts Magazine as part of the Go-To-Sketches for the November/December 2011 issue. Unfortunately, it was not accepted. But I think it's some of my best work, so after an initial feeling of disappointment, I will look at the bright side. I can share it on my blog for you to see.

  • Mayberry Level 2 Paper
  • Sorbet and White Daisy Cardstock
  • Fill In The Blank Stamp Set
  • Card Chatter-Sympathy Stamp Set
  • Cocoa Ribbon
  • Cocoa Ink
  • Mocha Opaque
  • Chocolate Embroidery Floss
  • Paper Piercing Kit
  • Martha Stewart Doily Lace Border Punch
  • Stampin' Up Ticket Punch
I hope you like my card as much as my family does. My daughter saw it and said "Beautiful! Great job, Mommy!" She just turned 3...her opinion is one that matters the most. :) God bless, and hope you have a wonderful weekend!

We'll be headed out soon to go camping....

Happy Birthday to my princess!

Today is my baby girl's 3rd birthday. I can't believe how fast time flies by. Yesterday, as we celebrated her birthday party, and sang to her, she shyly looked away and propped her chin on her hands. It was so sweet.

We will be going camping this upcoming weekend, and decided that both kids would get their birthday presents together, in the form of new bicycles. As brother Jack was helping his sister get her helmet on, he was so excited for her that he never even noticed his very own new bicycle. I was able to get a picture of him playing big brother. That is what life is truly all about.

Now, a little bit about the card I made; I found inspiration on Jeanette Lynton's blog a few months ago, and decided to make this cute card for my Izzy.
