Sharing A Card No One Likes To Send

Today I'm sharing a card that no one likes to send-a sympathy card. My brother-in-law (my late husband's brother) passed away last week. All within 6 months. Very hard on the family. I turned to crafting as a source of comfort.
This card was based on an idea I found from a blog, the link is below:
http://dostamping.typepad.com/…/6a00e54f9444b9883301901e887…
The background is simply stamping with ink on a clear block onto the card base. The other elements-tree branch and sentiment are stamped with black ink. 
Have a blessed day everyone.

Reflections On The Book "The Creative Retreat" by Jennie Moraitis

My goal is to offer opportunities to enhance your creativity with what I call "Creative Retreats". Last weekend I discovered someone that actually wrote a book called "The Creative Retreat" her name is Jennie Moraitis and she lives in Oregon. Since her book is written about exactly what I offer, I purchased her book and she even signed it :). This book is extremely inspiring and offers suggestions on how to create a personalized retreat either by yourself or with friends- that's  where I come in-by attending a Mini Creative Retreat and or a 2-Day Retreat here in Minnesota with Joyful Heart Creations and Designs this maybe exactly what you need.
If you would like more details about her book "The Creative Retreat", please see the link below: If you are interested in purchasing a book, you can either order from the link below or I can order a book for you and have it available at a current Creative Retreat here in Minnesota. (Please note-I do not receive any compensation for suggesting this book-this is just something I feel would be helpful and beneficial to you.) Feel free to let me know your thoughts. Thanks, and have a joyful day.
