On Tuesday our eldest daughter lost a close friend and has been devastated. I do appreciate the prayers for her, and love expressed to her - it means so much to her and us! I decided I wanted to make her something other than a card ti have in memory of her friend James.
So I made this bookmark using one of my favourite Layers of Color art stamp sets, Gothic Crosses: http://www.layersofcolor.com/blog/
I added a RubOn from Stampin' Up, what was just perfect.
I stamped the cross onto the DP and then stamped it again on CS, Cutting it out and popping it up on foam tape. Fine ribbon was added through an eyelet and then I threaded two beads onto it.
I also stamped a SU Sentiment on the back and added the words Memories and James...finishing off with the small Flourishes from the Touch of Elegance art stamp set. I am hoping this will be something that she will keep and will bring her some comfort, knowing that her friend James and his gift of friendship to her is remembered.

What a beautifully crafted memento straight from your heart to your daughter's. God bless you with much wisdom as you help her through this difficult time.
