thinking of you

I have a friend who is overseas right now helping fight the war, and I thought I would send a word of encouragement. Unfortunately, I found out after I put this card in the mail that they had just lost their father 3 days ago :(! So, I thought I should send them a card to let them know we were thinking of them. They have emergency leave I guess to go home to the funeral, then they have to go back overseas...until their tour is done. Inside I stamped this sentiment:

"A hug is a perfect gift. One size fits all and nobody minds if you exchange it."

Cute eh?? Now, I have to get on to make a sympathy card for them too after I finish my son's teacher's gift and morning bus driver's gift.

Thinking of you

The organist at our church was diagnosed about a month ago with a brain tumor, she had surgery about 2 days after they found out. I believe that the dr's got about 50% out, they are now starting Chemo/Radiation today. So I thought I would send her another card, I had sent one out when she first had her surgery but felt it was time to send another one.

For this card I used my Cuttlebug, and the flower folder...which I only used on the edge of the card....something different :)! I also then added a fun ribbon that I got from Michael's several months ago, thought this would be a nice added touch to this card....make it a bit more cheery than what it was looking.
