Butterfly Sympathy Card

It's always so hard when a dear friend loses a loved one. I think those of us who make cards are blessed because we can create something from our hearts with the intent of comforting and cheering someone who is hurting. When words are hard to find, love can be shared with a special card.
My heart was so blessed by the lovely expressions of sympathy and hope that my dear stamping friends sent me when my dad passed in March. I hope and pray that this work of love has the same effect for my sweet friend who lost her beloved mom recently.
For a list of stamps and products used please see my flickr photostream.
Thought for the Day: More from Psalm 25:
All day long I put my hope in You! Remember, O Lord, Your compassion and unfailing love, which You have shown form long ages past. Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth. Remember me in the light of Your unfailing love, for You are merciful, O Lord.
blessings and love,
nancy
