Generosity

Back in April, my husband's grandmother passed away at the age of 93.  Rather than receiving flowers and cards, the family asked that people donate to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.  The generosity showed by Celia's friends and family is a testament to the impact she had on their lives.

To thank those people for their generous donations that will help to make a difference in many peoples' lives, my mother in law asked me to make some thank you cards.  Gramma's favourite colours were pinks and purples, so it was only fitting that these were the shades I worked with.

Strength and Hope

Strength and Hope is one of the sets in the Summer Mini, and this was the first time I pulled it out to use.   A good friend of mine is getting married this weekend, so of course I had to make a card for him and his lovely wife-to-be.  This set seemed perfect for the occasion.  I'm not sure what their colours are, so I figured you can't go wrong with ivory and gold.

I'm sure he won't even take a look at the card, but I sure hope she does.  I hate cutting out stamped images, so this was a step out of my comfort zone!
