I scored a frame. Added the sentiment. The hearts are punched and the umbrella is a die cut.
A very sad day today, my 88 year old FIL died in his sleep. He had dementia and was in a nursing home~I know he's in a better place. My MIL is in the hospitol~she had a hip replacement. We had to go and tell her today~very hard. It's always hard to lose a parent. Tomarrow's MD's so we have to go back to Iowa City. I made a card~she likes them, but it's hard to be upbeat~but will try.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day! Hugs Linda

Linda, what a sweet, sweet card! Love the rain "drop" hearts and the red and white theme to express love. Terrific CAS card.
I'm sorry for your family's loss. It is always hard to lose a parent, but it is good to hear that you have the perspective that he is in a better place. I'm sure you were a great comfort to your MIL. May you all feel much love on this Mother's Day. Hugs, Sallie
