This post is a CASE of the following card by MJ Albright, this week's featured stamper. I greatly admire many pieces she has created. I decided to CASE this card. I love the rich colors she chose, and how she used double ribbon. I have lots more info on my blog, including a link to a site where someone has very nicely shared the colors of the SU! ribbon packs, as I am not able to visually discriminate among them. I used Beate's tutorial for a joy fold card to complete this CASE.
This card is for a colleague who was good friends with another colleague who died of lung cancer yesterday. Unfortunately, I acutely know her pain. This comes on the week of the one year anniversary of one of my best friends who died of stomach cancer. May I just say how much I HATE cancer? Anyway, didn't mean to be Debbie Downer...

This is a stunningly beautiful card and I'm sure it will bring comfort to the family. You can be 'Debbie Downer' anytime you need to be, I understand completely. I lost my Dad at the tender age of 68 to bone cancer after watching him suffer for 4 years . . . I agree . . . I HATE CANCER! Your talent is wonderful, thanks for sharing it with us!!

First I want to say that this card is beautiful. Second I understand your hate and pain. Lost my sister who was my best friend 2 years ago to breast cancer.:confused:
The only consolation is that we can still help by being there for someone whose grieving. If not with words just by being a good ear. Take care!
