Missing you
I've had a real lack of mojo recently. I think this is another stage of grief. Holidays were always spent with my late husband. Since I lost him over a year ago, I'm occasionally consumed with grief. I just have problems making Christmas cards and Valentines. I'm just skipping over those seasons for card making. I'm working on springtime cards, but still having problems.

I recently got his new embossing folder from Craft Concepts. It's pretty and I didn't want to cover it, so I just patted on a little ink to make the embossed images more visable. I kept it very simple after trying so many different approaches. The ribbon is very old and was given to me by a friend. I added the blue heart brad to add a little interest.

Your CAS card is perfect. I can see why you didn't want to cover up the beautiful embossing. I lost my parents in 2005 and while I will always love them and have moments when I miss them terribly, the grief does get easier with time. Take your time and the mojo will return.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely card Velda.....grieve for as long as it takes my dear....yes, I imagine some 'holidays' are hard for you. Although I haven't commented much lately when I see your name I think of you and how you are doing.
