All My Heart

This is the most difficult post I've ever written, and I'm not even sure if I want to or can share this. My mom passed away unexpectedly two days after Mother's Day, on May 12. I'm so broken and lost and still having moments of disbelief. Each day moving forward without my mom is a struggle and the beginning of a new journey that I wish I didn't have to be on. Even making cards is a struggle. I am now in need of many thank you cards, for the prayers, meals, phone calls, visits, flowers, plants and cards we've received. I finally was able to focus my attention to making these, much needed thank you cards.

I turned to the inspiration of different challenge boards (as I always have) to help me gain focus. This card was made using the Sweet Sunday Sketch

I also used the colors from Color Throwdown

Products Used:
Stitched Speech Bubble Edges ~ MFT
Petite Pots ~ PTI
Polka Dot Background ~ MFT
Beautiful Words ~ Simon Says Stamp

This card is done using the technique from Melissa Phillips using chalks over the stamped images to soften the stamped images. It's CASED from Melissa's Make-it-Monday video. I simply changed up the layout of the card using MFT's Blueprints and some printed paper. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp, Beautiful Words. This set has become heavily used in the making of my thank you's.

I'll enter these cards into the following challenges:
Simon Says Monday Challenge
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge
Word Art Wednesday

Thanks for stopping by. Blessings~ Birgit
