Sympathy Card Using Anna Griffin Pretty Paintings Card Kit

Hello friends!  How is everyone?  I hope you are staying warm.  I would be interested to know what kind of weather you are having right now.  We actually had two rainy days in a row; which caused horrible mud slides in the areas that had fires last year.  So sad; so many lives have been lost due to fires and now the mud slides have buried homes during the night.  My heart goes out to the people affected by the fires and now the mud slides, and their families.  

The news said that there was a mandatory evacuation; but very few people evacuated as instructed.  I'm sure no one expected it to be as devastating as it was.  One of our freeways is completely blocked with many stranded motorist.  It is supposed to be closed for two days.  

I had several deaths of friends and family last year; so I created several Sympathy cards during that time.  I love using Anna Griffin's cards and die cuts to create quick cards; especially Sympathy ones; since they are challenging to me. Her card kits have some of the supplies; but they still leave room for your own creativity.  I love to mix and match my card kits.  LOL!

This was a new card kit when I created this card; and I haven't posted it before now.

  17. Such an elegant creation. We are grateful that you joined our Challenge here at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving you with the inspiration that comes from God's Word in Romans 1:17 which says, "For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” Have a blessed week.
