A wonderful Happy New Year to you. I am getting back to normal now ;0) All the Christmas decorations and DVDs are away again until December. It's going to be a busy week this week. My friends Mother passed last week and so I have the funeral to go to on Wednesday. This is the card I have made, I really need to get some sentiments with a good variety (have you seen anything you can suggest?). Although I have a nice verse inside the card. It is sad to loose friends. But I bare testimony that this life is not the end we carry on to live for all eternity and we will all be together with our families forever! There is also a baby due any day now for my cousin so that is a wonderful day to look forward to. And unusually they kept the sex secret so there will be a beautiful bundle with us soon. And if that wasn't enough it's our wedding anniversary on Thursday, so I will have to get busy lol.
This is the first time I have used this stamp (Maribel-Stampelglede) and I hope from the close up you can see the distress glitter. As well as new paper (Anna Griffin)I thought I would enter this for a challenge or two as it's the new year and challenges are always a good way to get back in to the swing of things when you have been enjoying quality time with family & friends and have been away from crafting for a week or two. So I am entering this into SSS&S they want to see your new stamps. And Creative Inspirations would like to see anything new you have. I have been lucky this year I have a few new stamps from Crafty Individuals too and I hope to show you some of those soon. I hope you have all had a wonderful beginning to 2011 and that your blogs and crafty selves will continue to stop by and share your wonderful artiness with me. Love Dawn xx

This card is beautiful- congratulations on the wedding Anniversary, and the impending birth :), one of my favourite quotes is: Those who we keep in our hearts, live forever.
Super classy and truly lovely creation Dawn. I'm working on some vintage at the mo and will for sure take some inspiration from you. Thanks, and thanks for sharing with Creative Inspirations this challenge, Happy 2011

So sorry to hear about your friend's mom, Dawn. This card is stunning, I'm sure she will appreciate it. I know what you mean about finding good sympathy sentiment sets. Papertrey Ink has a lovely "With Sympathy" set, but I'm not sure what shipping/postage is like to the UK. Verve also has a sympathy set (don't have it, though), but again, it's that shipping that'll get ya. Sorry I can't be of more help!
