Hi Denise! We miss you!

helmts1981 · 03-09-2012, 05:06 PM

Hi all! I really, really despise making sympathy cards and when I need them I NEVER have them on hand which is why I thought of this challenge! Hope you all have fun with it!

~rain~ · 03-09-2012, 05:07 PM

I'm offended! lol! :p (just kidding!)
I've been working too hard to chat or upload photos! Guess after this challenge I'll have a chance to upload. Having tons of fun though!

JBgreendawn · 03-09-2012, 05:09 PM

I do I even own some stamps I have never wanted to use so because I dont need one I was able to do one for a furbaby.

Thanks! I wish I would have gotten a better picture of it but my camera really doesn't photograph browns very well!

ohmypaper! · 03-09-2012, 05:12 PM

Rain!!!! Hi!!!! I was thinking of you earlier and wondered if you were playing!!! I am playing and messing up!!! What was in my head and on my sketch pad just didn't make a good card for the last challenge. :( I guess I will try something TOTALLY different later! Bummer spending 45 minutes and it doesn't turn out! LOL

So.....off to sympathy!!!!

ravengirl · 03-09-2012, 05:17 PM

It's alway a good idea to make one when you don't need one. Sometimes they are so hard to make! Your sample is really pretty!

scrapperLinsey · 03-09-2012, 05:21 PM

SuG · 03-09-2012, 06:18 PM

great cards ladies. I will play along this weekend as I have time. I just got back from a very nice date with my husband and I had a glass of wine, well I must be old because I need to go to sleep NOW!!!

Am I the only one blocked from Stacy's cards? I haven't been able to see one of her creations.
I hope you change the settings so I can see what you have made

smadson · 03-09-2012, 06:23 PM

Here is my Sympathy Blossoms. Thank you for hostessing the challenge. I needed a sympathy card to put in the mail tomorrow. I had a cousin pass away yesterday and am sending several sympathy cards to several of the family.

corysnana1 · 03-09-2012, 06:39 PM

When I saw the title of the challenge, I was thinking I'd be breaking out my umbrella stamps, and when I read the challenge I knew just what to do! I've been meaning to make a post-sympathy card for a 9 year old whose mom passed away a month ago. This was just the inspiration I needed to get it done.

helmts1981 · 03-09-2012, 06:42 PM

Great cards!!!!! I will leave more comments tomorrow! But I am super, duper tired so I am hitting the hay!

scootsv · 03-09-2012, 06:52 PM

Lisa, Thanks for hosting this challenge! Here is my card. I kept is plain and simple. I tried a black and white ribbon but did not like it and also decided NOT to color the flowers. TFL

ckbythesea · 03-09-2012, 08:03 PM

This was a good challenge for me, because this stamp set has been very neglected, and this type of card is good to have on hand, hard to make one when you need it.

Soozie4Him · 03-09-2012, 08:52 PM

I used the Love and Sympathy set for the first time for the focal image. I didn't use the sentiment that comes with the set, though - I used "Loving Thoughts". I did use the other sentiment for the inside:

Here is mine. I used my new paper and framelits on this card. Such fun to have pretty supplies to use!!!!

tessaduck · 03-09-2012, 09:16 PM

We'd done this one for a paper tricks afternoon, so it's not a new design... I love the message, though. And goodness knows, there's frequently an abundance of puddles in the Pacific Northwest!

Done, now all I have to do is get up at 3 am tomorrow. Mind is willing but I'm not sure about the body
See you all then

strawberryjam · 03-10-2012, 04:29 AM

This was a great idea. I have not stamped in a long time (over a year) and working with the challenges has really made a great evening. I look forward to tomorrow. My card stash was really low but now I will have something to pull from when I need them.

Thanks so much for all the work that has gone into the set up and creation of this Virtual Stamp Night.

Can't wait to see the beautiful gallery for this challenge. Here's my pet loss sympathy card.

Unfortunately, I have a use for this card... a co-worker of mine's husband has terminal cancer :( Hopefully, this will brighten her spirits just a touch.
