Sentimental Sunday

Sunday, July 26, 2015
Today's Sentimental Sunday Post is for my friend, Laura, who recently had to say "good-bye" to her mom.  It is always hard to loose a loved one, but I love how they made it a celebration, because that is exactly what it is.  No more pain and suffering.  Laura was our neighbor for several years and I was their child care provider for most of those years, loving every minute with those boys.  It was handy living right next door to them and Little Joey would come over even when he wasn't in my care.  He would hop up on the table and watch me when I decorated a cake asking me questions about what I was going to use each color frosting for.  And then, of course, he got to sample them all.  Hard to believe he is 15 years old already and big brother, Nick, (who was in 1st grade when he started coming to Auntie's house) is getting married in January.  WOW! how time truly does fly!!
We purchased a pretty red rose bush for Laura to plant to remember her mom by.
And this is the card that I made for her.  She loved the Calla Lilies from the REMARKABLE YOU Stamp Set. The Sympathy greeting is from the retired stamp set SIMPLY SKETCHED
The beautiful lattice on the background is from a retired Stampin' Up! kit.  If I could get my hands on more of those I surely would, because I think this card turned out beautiful using the Mint Macron Card Stock (NEW 2015-17 in color)
Thanks for stopping by!
