I made this card in memory of my mom. She loved everything about Christmas and would sit for hours in front of our fire while the snow fell heavily around my home deep in the woods of Northern Michigan. I knew, in 2013, it would be her last Christmas; she was dying of cancer. I sketched this image from a photo of our fireplace. Her colorful cane, to the right, has been added. Love you mom: 1926-2014

What a beautiful and touching tribute. This will be our 4th Christmas without our Mom so I know how difficult it is. Know that she would've cherished this card and all the love that went into it.

Prayers for you. This will be a hard Christmas, but I probably don't have to tell you that. The only words to say are, I understand. This is a loving tribute to your mom. Your sktch is stamp worthy and beautiful. I love this.
