Hi, all my crafty friends and family!!

It's that time of year again . . . well, it's actually that time of year for my friend, Julie, from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers.  It is her 2-year blogoversary.  


Yep, she has been with the bloggin' world for two (2) whole years now . . . and to celebrate, a bunch of us got together to do a blog hop. You should have arrived here from Regina's blog . . . but if  you have stumbled upon this, please join us by going to the beginning and hopping along with us . . . there are lots of fun prizes to be won.  As with most hops, to be eligible for the prizes, you must be a follower of each blog and leave a comment at each stop/blog.  Here's the amazing prizes Julie is giving away:

Some AMAZING prizes, isn't it?!?!  You have from March 7-9 to get to hopping and leave your comments. :) 

Well, about the time I was asked to join this blog hop, a friend passed away . . . so since this blog hop was celebrating friendship, I decided to make a sympathy card for my friend's family and share it with you.  Here's how it turned out:


For this card, I used scraps I had leftover from paper I received from The Paper Temptress . . . I used Vintage Silver Lustre, Mica/Metallic in Onxy and in Red).  I just love the texture it offers to this CAS card.  I also used a sentiment from Paper Smooches and some miscellaneous bling.

Thanks so much for stopping by to help celebrate Julie's 2nd blogoversary and our friendships.  You need to head over Donna K's next.  If you end up getting lost, the blog list follows.

Till the next time I'm up in the night.  Kathy

Pretty! Thanks for sharing!

Good job with this sympathy card! You are a true friend!

I'm sorry your friend (and you) experienced loss. But your card was appropriate. Beyond the sentiment, it reminded me about little there is to say in a card when the loss is higher. So appropriate.

Hi Kathy, so sorry to hear about your friend, your card is very lovely. (HUGS).

Unknown

Sympathy cards are hard to make. Yours turned out beautifully. Simple but comforting.
