Unfortunately we all have to make cards for certain occasions that are more solemn than birthdays or thank yous. My mom asked me to make a card for a co-worker that recently lost his dad. I did take this opportunity to use a couple challenges that I could incorporate into a nice sympathy card. My Craft Spot issued "Sew Fun" this week and Die Cuttin' Divas issued "Twice is Nice". I pulled out my We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy tool and gave that another whirl - jury is still out on how I feel about this crafting tool, but this time it seemed easier than the attemps before. I used Songbird for the birds on the outside and inside. The layout is from Mojo Monday and I really like how the card came together.
