New Years Eve with Divinity Designs

 

Happy New Years Eve!

I hope everyone enjoys the day and stays safe

Here are my last cards for the year with Divinity Designs. 

Where did the year go and I hope next year brings love and joy to everyone. 

This first sympathy card has not had to be used I sure hope to not to use it anytime soon.I used pink to make it cheerful 

This card I used the beautiful die cut background and I automatically thought of a mermaid. So I used teal and gold paper. It really is stunning in person. 

This last card I used the few papers and stamps from December. I love how this card turned out with all the layers,

Well thank you for stopping by today and again have a Happy New Year!

Deepest Sympathy

Hi, It is with great sadness that I am making this card for a friend who husband passed away. He leaves his wife and two children. It occurred two days before Christmas. There are no words to say to decrease the pain. I pray that God gives them strength during this difficult time.  

A side view...I am still trying to think of the words I want to put inside? Any suggestions? 

A closer view....

Thanks for looking and if anyone has any words...Please put them in the comments below.

Stella

Hello! Happy Friday! I wanted to share this layout of our beloved Stella. She went to rainbow bridge a couple years ago. My husband LOVED her so much! I wanted to put a bunch of journaling to remember with and since my handwriting is so big I typed it up on cardstock and die cut the circles. 

She loved her bed and blankets...she was an Italian Greyhoud. 

I used lots of flowers, hearts from Lawn Fawnand a heart stencil from scrapbook.com. Plus some sentiments from scrapbook.com too. The title is from Lawn Fawn....Love it! 

More flowers.....lots of leftovers and the iridescent bubbles....

Thanks for stopping by today!

May You Find Peace

Hi, Just sharing a quick front of the card that I made for a dear friend who lost her baby at 21 weeks. It was so very sad and so I wanted to make it very special. I was inspired to use the baby footprints from her shadow box that she had made with her husband 

This is the sketch that I was inspired to make for her card....I hope she finds peace...

I didn't get a chance to take more photos...

Mt Heart Goes Out To You...

Hellow everyone. I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday. I definitely ate too much at my daughter home...but it sure was yummy! This is a card that I made a while ago for my mother who lost her favorite kitty. He was an orange cat so I decided to use my autumn colored papers too. 

A quick side view....

I love the flowers and I kind just mixed and matched things together....I lost my mojo for a bit....

Have a wonderful weekend!

Thinking of You

Hi, It is with more sadness this week at work for more losses. Im not sure what is going on but it sure is scary. Nothing to do with the covid. I have made 2 cards and one more to go. Im not sure which card should go to whom...I will let my peers figure it out. 

I based the card on the sketch from Mojo Monday #539. Thx Julee. 

A closer view....I love the recollection flowers and I used some leftover ribbon and patterned paper. 

The beautiful sketch.....

Thanks for stopping by today!

Our Thoughts and Prayers

Hi, Hope everyone is well. This past week my co workers and I have had several losses. This card is for someone very special who has left her loved ones behind. I usually use browns and greens for sympathy cards but today I wanted to use some soft pinks since that was one of her favorite colors. 

The inside is blank for people to sign. 

We will miss you my friend....

Hugs Lisa 

So Sorry....

Hi! Well, one more post till this upcoming weekend. I have been off work since Friday morning due to elective surgeries have been postponed. Tomorrow i will be going to the hospital to see what has been happening. I was inspired to make this woodland card from The Card Concept Challenge Woodland Nursery #131. I originally had a title different sketch and was planning to add more animals....but I realized that I only had some from Lawn fawn and with all the foliage it just didn't fit together. 

I knew I wanted to used woodgrain background and the tree stump. Then lots of greenery and tan flowers. I realize now after the fact that I tend to use earth tines for sympathy cards. So I decided to add one to my stash...hope I don't need to use it anytime soon....

A closer view...

The inspiration was woodgrain background, and the deer. I consider this a shabby chic/vintage style because of the several layers and distressing edges.

Thanks for stopping by today. 

Be well and safe...

So Sorry for Your Loss

Hi, Today I'm sharing a sympathy card for one of my colleagues who recently lost their father. I personally understand because it was a difficult time for me when I lost my father. I guess losing anyone in your life is not an easy time. 

I kept the colors earthy with browns and greens. The flowers are from recollections and Prima. The leaves are from Sue Wilson and as I mentioned before it is one of my favorites now. I think because of the Mosaic look but also because of the size. Perfect for cards.

I added a little bit of bling pearls for an extra touch. I didn't use pattered paper. I used a woodgrain embossing folder instead. Hope she likes it. 

Thanks for stopping by again.

Have a great day!

The Bridge

Hi everyone! Today Im sharing with you a new card that I made last month for the upcoming card contest in Mesa AZ today. The theme is about bridges. When I made this card, I recently had a put my Stella dog to rest. It was a very sad day. I decide to make a card about rainbow bridge but with a neutral blue color like the blue heaven and skies. 

Lots of die cuts used from Cheery Lynn Designs and I had to stamp the flowers and leaves from Heartfelt Creations . The tiny paw stamps are from Stamps from Judith. 

I inked the clouds and made the sentiment on the computer. 

One last view...Tiny bling throughout. 

Thanks for stopping by today....

For the Love of Stella. 

Hugs Lisa
