Hello friends! I hope everyone is doing well. It has finally cooled down a little here in Southern CA. I love Fall weather. We actually had rain on Sunday. It was amazing! When I lived in Florida, it rained almost every day; so I got really tired of it; but I love it when it rains now. We seldom get much of it; so it is a treat to me. Isn't it funny how our perceptions can change about things over the years?
My granddaughters grandpa passed away last week; so it has been a sad time for me, my daughter, granddaughter and their families. Bobby was a wonderful man and loved by many. It is so hard when we lose someone. I know that Jason, his son and Barbara, his wife are so lost without him. I am very grateful that my daughter, Jenny and granddaughter, Gabrielle and her son, Bryr were able to spend over a week with him in Florida before his passing. He was so happy to see them and to play with that awesome great grandson. We will all miss him.
I have been creating Sympathy cards this past week. I find them hard to create for me. I know there is a typical Sympathy card that most people create; but I decided that I needed to create something beautiful and cheerful for my Sympathy cards; just like I do for birthdays, etc.
It's time for another Art by Miran Challenge 72 - Anything Goes. I have chosen this gorgeous image - Valentina. I thought this image would be an excellent choice for my granddaughter. We would love to see your entries in our challenge. I can't wait to see what you create.

ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet card. Wonderful papers used and awesome lay-out. Thank you for joining our Word Art Wednesday Challenge. There's still plenty of time to link more projects. God bless you and leaving you some encouraging verses from the Bible found in Romans 8:38-39 which tells us, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
