I like the yellow, green, kraft and black color combo on this card - which is what started the whole thing off. Green scraps on my desk that I was trying to clear off! Love it when inspiration strikes out of necessity to clear a spot to work in/on! The Old Worl Ornaments is one of the On Sale Retiring stamps - 25% off is a great deal at under $12 for the whole set of like 9 images. They all "fit" together to make great background patterns and designs. I love those! The Friends set from the Spring Into April set is also featured - simple yet elegant with just a touch of color it is the perfect sentiment.
I am sad to not be working diligently to prep for the Diva Crop this weekend. I was looking forward to going as a venfdor and seeing all the croppers I have not gotten to see in like forever! My Husband's Aunt Alice passed away and her funeral will be on Sunday. She was a real pistol and I have been missing her since she went to Floirida last year to stay with her daughter Barb. We used to have lunch on Tuesday's and she even joined me for a few Bible Study lessons. I took her to quite a few radiation treatments - me and Logan. The best memories are of a certain trip to San Antonio - my angel friend Annette and I took - Alice hitched a ride to see her grand daughter along with us going to TAC Winter Retreat. 24 hours on the road and LOTS of laughter!! She was a very special soul and our family will have fond memories of her and the times we got to spend with her. I am going to gather some pictures today for her memorial service and I am sure I will have lots of tears but more smiles in memeory of our crazy times together. She was just a hoot!
Well I better get going - I still have to fix my hair and get my eyes on before I hit the road! Have a blessed day!
So sorry to hear about your loss of such a special lady.
