Hello lovers of all things crafty. Just sharing a quick card today that I made for a neighbour in my condo where I live. I've just learned that he has been dealing with cancer for some time and is now in hospital as it has spread rapidly throughout his body.
I don't know him that well, but I don't think he's older then me (I'm late 40's). For all the times I think to myself in a negative way about "how old I am"... the first thought that struck me when I heard his news was... "he so young". He certainly has lots of support between his family and his partner, but I just wanted him to know that he was in my thoughts too.
I love this beautiful sentiment from an MFT set I have: "Vertical Greetings". I sponged the edges of the Spellbinders Nestibilities 8 and then layered onto Decorative Labels 8. Paper is from American Crafts (I think). Butterfly of course is a combination of Memory Box Darla and Vivienne.
I finished the inside with a sentiment from the Verve set "Words of Wisdom" along with the small butterfly die "Butterfly Delights" from Memory Box and their Loop Border die as well.
I think I stared at it for 30 min before deciding what to write.
Well, long day and I'm totally pooped but decidedly not feeling as "old" as I would normally tend to feel. It's odd that it sometimes takes a tragedy in someone else's life to make us appreciate the life we already have.
Really hope you're all having a good week.
'Till next time,
Carla.
