DL.ART Thankful Thursday
 Challenge #225 "Flowers"


It is one of those funny Months so this challenge will be open for three weeks So you can enter up to 5 times for this challenge.

If you read this post the last two weeks here is an update the Aunt I sent this card to sent me a Thank you card and then on Thursday of last week March 29th my moms other sister passed away the funeral was on April 3rd. Now there are only 2 left of the 14 siblings. Unfortunately I am not in Michigan and could not go to the funeral. I am still trying to adjust to being home  after my extended stay and the loss of my mom


DIANA L.

I made this card for one of my Aunt's she lost her sister, which is my mom. She knew her longer than I did, so I thought it was only fitting to make her a card. She told me she has saved every card I have ever made her. Is that amazing? I have been making her cards ever since I can remember.  My mom was the 2nd oldest of 14 children. I now have 1 uncle and 2 aunts out of all of the siblings. My mom would have been 95 next month. She had a good long life and I am thankful to have had her for so many years.  I used K & company cardstock for my background. The die is AG and Cricut cartridge cut Ornamental iron and a spellbinder gate die that fell apart but I used parts of it. The stamp set is retired from my on line CTMH store. The ribbon is lavender from the spring bundle (out of stock right now, sorry   in the DLART store. I also added some nuvo enamel drops and some stickles. The flowers are from my stash.

  4. I was so sorry to hear about your mom. I lost my mom nine years ago (age 76) and I still miss talking to her. I often think of something I wish I'd asked her. What a blessing to have had her so many years. May God ease the pain and comfort you with lovely memories.
