Someone Remembers...


Hi, Friends.....

I'm here to share a bittersweet card. Just a year ago in our community a family lost their pre-teen boy when he took his own life. We were devastated. A friend at church recently suggested we let this family know they are still in our thoughts and prayers as the anniversary date approaches and asked me to make a card for them. I was honored to do this. I hope it can help bring some comfort to this hurting family.

I used what is probably my most favorite sympathy sentiment of any I have ever seen. It is especially perfect for marking the anniversary of a loss. This wonderful stamp is from the Dare 2B Artzy - Prayers 4 You stamp set. I can't say enough how much I love this entire thoughtful set.


Supplies used include:
Dare 2B Artzy - Prayers 4 You stamp set
Distress Ink in Hickory Smoke
Poppystamps - Grand Pine Tree die
Pink & Main Scallop Waves die set
Simon Says Stamp - Falling Snow stencil
Dreamweaver- Embossing Paste
DCWV Patterned Paper
Core'dinations/Darice solid cardstock
White cardstock from an upcycled commercial greeting card back
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set

Thank you for stopping by today. The time you spend looking at my cards and leaving comments means so much me!!

🖤
Janis

  7. It's a great sentiment and perfect to send to the family. It's nice when people remember that their friends/acquaintances are still hurting and that the one year mark is going to be a difficult day. [Bunny]

  11. I remember your telling me about that family's tremendous loss and I can't even imagine the pain they must feel even now. The anniversary of a loss like that is always so difficult so knowing that they are still in everyone's hearts and prayers will certainly be a comfort. This sentiment and the snowy winter scene is a beautiful tribute .
