Make A Card Monday!
Sorry I am so late in posting todays card.
I had every intention in posting it last night but was so tired
I went to bed. I found this awesome card at
Usually I will change the Paper & Ink colors
when I case a card but not this time.
I feel in love with this card just the way it was!
You have to forgive my ribbon tying, I really suck at
tying ribbon! I really need to practice because ribbon
is one of my favorite embellishments!
Plus I have soooooooo much ribbon!!
But who does'nt!
I hope you will enjoy this cute card.
I think it makes a great sympathy card. I always make
two, so I can keep one and mail the other!
I love this Stamp Set, it is my favorite sympathy set.

Friends Card....
using retired Stampin' Up! paper
I made this card a few weeks ago before
my precious Jade passed away.
She loved to sit a my feet while I stamped
I miss that so much! I never thought the death of my
dog Jade would be so emotional for me.
Don't get me wrong I am just as saddened by the passing
of my Grandma Dale. I use to send her cards with pictures
of my family on a monthly basis.
You just don't know what it meant to her!
Thanks for listening to me ramble on and on....
and back to this awesome card!!
I frequent this blog called,
Card Positioning System it has some great card sketches
I got the sketch for this CUTE card from
If you get a chance bookmark this website for future
card sketch ideas!!

I love this card sketch!
and really had fun making this card.
I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
Have a great night and I'll see you back here
for tomorrow's Case A Card Monday!

I had a great time and hope we can try to do that more often!
Thanks MOM & ABBY..LUV YOU!

celebration of life won't be until November 14th
