Array of Sympathy Cards

 Now that all my design team cards are done for the year
it had freed me up to try and use up some 'spare' parts
that have been just waiting to be made into cards.

I had purchased a 12x12  Ella & Viv page of sympathy stickers
and used all the larger ones leaving the smaller ones
to be put to use.  Using papers, die cuts, embossing folders that were
rejects from previous makes I came up with all these cards
and maybe just a few new things were used as well.

Card #1

Whoops, looks like I put the wrong watermark on this card!


Card #2


Card #3


Card #4


Card #5


Card #6


Card #7


That's it for now with sympathy cards and it gives me a nice little collection
in my card box...thanks for stopping by!

Little Red Wagon has a challenge with a theme of
'So Sorry' which includes 'sympathy' cards, so I 
will be entering one of the cards there.

On Tuesday of this week we had some 'weather' here in
Southwest lower Michigan and to have worse today (Wednesday)
as I am typing this up.
Here are a few pictures of the storm.  I happened to be
at our local 'in the country' Indian casino picking up
supper when my phone alert went off and the casino
lights started flickering and warning of a tornado warning
and my sister texting me it was headed my way.
Needless to say after the hail storm quit I high-tailed it home,
the pavement was covered in green leaves from all the wind!

These pictures other then the hail in the second picture
are NOT mine, I took them off our weather page.
The first picture was 8 miles west of me, headed our way.


Hail Storm at the casino and what did we all do,
go outside and watch it like idiots!!
That's Midwestern's for you!!



Sky after the storm, same area as the first picture,
there again not my picture.  I was too pinned in at the casino
to get any pictures myself.


Todays (Wednesday) storm set-up!


Stay safe everyone in your 'neck of the woods'!!

That's quite a beautiful collection of sympathy cards, Diane! The sentiment stickers are really pretty. I'd buy those, too! I love all the papers and embossing you put together. It looks like a lot of fun and just the sort of thing I love to do. Geez, I think about all my mid-western friends as I watch the weather news! There's been one threat after another all over the place and I have blog friends all throughout. That's a scary sky, especially when you're needing to get home. I'm glad you're still safe and I hope you stay that way!
