Christmas Gifts

About a month ago, a friend of mine told me this sad, sad, story. She bought 3 sympathy cards from a store...{sniff} makes me cry just thinking of it, actually having to buy a card...and paid $24 for them. WHAT!!! Ouch. Well, I knew what I was going to give her for Christmas. She's a pastor's wife, so I tried to keep them fairly basic, a few Sympathy, and some Thinking of You cards. I hope she'll be surprised, (I made her 5 of each).

Card Size: 4.25" x 5.5"

I picked up a new Thomas Kincade stamp called Streams of Living Water, and used Labels Eight and Fancy Tags by Nestabilities. How did we ever make cards without Nestabilities???

This Sympathy card was inspired by Michelle. I loved the colour combo. There isn't much to say about it, just sweet and simple.
