Sympathy card

I work as part of a great team at what could be a very explosive site, so when one of the members if feeling pain something as small as a card can help them cope.
Such a thing recently happened to one of the team with the passing of her mother. The loss of a parent is very hard to bear as is the loss of any family member.




Not much more to say, so have a great weekend.

Experimenting

Boy, has this been a long time coming. Although I rearranged my craft room into my lounge room ages ago, I have not been taking advantage of it to the full. You know the routine: away from home over 14 hours a day/night, no time for anything but eating, showering and sleeping.
Well, what better excuse to create that having bronchitis, losing one's voice and now this turning into a cold.
So, I have been experimenting with various techniques that I have learned from viewing the fantastic Stamp TV site. I thank the brilliant Gina Krupsky for producing such a wonderful range of videos for us.
These first two cards are made with the Pillow Top background.The first card was my first effort that didn't turn out as I expected because I didn't have the proper tools, but still it looks different. I decided to try again and made this "male" card which needs sentiment added etc.














Anyway, appreciate you taking the time to stop by and have a look.
As always, have a great day and enjoy creating :)
