Stephanie does it AGAIN!! I used photo #16 for my inspiration tonite.....and with my brand new card reader I do not expect this one to be half the adventure to download that my last one was!! I promise to stop using this same ribbon over and over and over - it's my new love but I will get over it eventually. I have had a very long, hard day today, losing a dear friend and fighter after a long battle to brain cancer.....along with several other smaller disappointments that pale in comparison. That's why I named my card the Tree of Hope. I have the hope, the joy, the assurance that my dear friend Mary Ann is safe in the arms of Jesus tonite. No more sorrow, no more tears, no more pain. It's our turn to cry, because Mary Ann was a treasure. Underneath and all around are the everlasting arms. You never know what a day will bring, and it's good to know that the everlasting arms are there, no matter what. Have a happy Saturday my friends, and hug and kiss the ones you love.

What a gorgeous card, Karen! Your card is a confection like the dessert and goodies on today's site! Love the tree with all the embellishments. The wide, striped ribbon just sets it off.
I am sincerely sad for your loss of your dear friend. This is a lovely tribute to her and your own feelings of life everlasting.
