Birthday Side Step Card For Male Using Cricut Art Philosophy and Cricut Artiste Cartridges

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #86 - Anything Goes
 
Hi to all my wonderful friends and followers.  I am so happy you have dropped by today.  I have had a rough couple weeks.  We had four deaths in our family; my kids grandmother (fathers side) August 17; their step-grandmother; we found out on Oct. 16th that she died Sept. 2nd; my sister-in-law on Oct. 18th and my son-in-law's cousin on Oct. 24th.  It has been a rough year. 

My children lost a wonderful grandmother (89 yrs.) and a fabulous step-grandmother (80 yrs.) ; only 2 weeks apart.  My wonderful sister-in-law (Pat) had a sudden massive stroke and she was only 58 yrs. old.  And then last week, my son-in-law lost his cousin, only 30 yrs. old; father of two.  It is hard enough to handle a death in the family when they are older; but it is even more devastating when the person is so young.   I think 58 yrs. old is way to young to die. 
 
Pat was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, wife, sister and friend to so many people.  She will be severely missed by everyone who knew her.  She was a healthy woman with no medical issues.  It made me aware again of how short and fragile our lives are; and to take better care of myself while doing things I love.  It made me re-evaluate my priorities; which may take me a while.
 
I am fortunate that this card was created before the last 3 deaths occurred.  I don't think I could have done it otherwise.  I have only created sympathy cards since the deaths. 

It is time again for Tammy's Scrapin Corner - Challenge 86 - Anything Goes.  I hope you will join us this week for more fun!  If you would like to be a Guest Designer; please add GDT behind your name when you enter the challenge.  We are taking a break until the New Year; so be patient if you are chosen; I am sure Tammy will notify you sometime in the near future after we have started back with the challenges.


I created this card for my brother-in-law for his birthday.  The image is Bugaboo Gus Golf; which I thought was funny and cute; so I had to use it.  I also used Tiffany Doodles Golf Cart Digital Stamp Set.  He loves golfing; so I thought it was very appropriate.
