In Loving Memory of.... Being a part of something Bigger. New Stamp release at Scrappy Mom Stamps

It's release week over at Scrappy Mom Stamps! Whoot Whoot! Have you seen the new releases? Aren't they fabulous?

Both of my daughter's belong to the Random Act of kindness club so we have many opportunities to use the new Random Act of Kindness Stamps. After hearing about the sad news of Heidi Swapp's son passing away, I knew that I wanted to me a part of something to help this grieving family. 
Becky Higgins is hosting a "share your love for the Swapp family" and I knew this was exactly what I wanted to be a part of. You can read all the details HERE on Becky Higgins blog to get all the details.

Here is my 4X4 card that will be a part of the albums given to the family, The new In Loving Memory of Stamp was just perfect for this project:

With Sincere Sympathy Butterfly Card

Hello crafty friends! This time of the year is so super busy with kids going back to school and adjusting to new schedules! I have been doing my best to stop by and visit, and I am sorry if I missed someone along the way. I am still working on my own schedule along with the rest of my family. I dislike the idea of having to "schedule" craft time, but right now it seems the only way. There is just so much I want to do in my day! :)

Here is a card I quickly put together while putting some of my craft supplies away:

Drippy Heart Challenge over at the BBTB2!

It is time for another great challenge over at the BBTB2!

This week Heather from A little Time has selected  Rock Princess, the winged, dripping heart on page 44. If you don't have that cartridge, use a bat or a heart or something dripping.


I don't have Rock Princess so I decided to use the winged heart on the Hello Kitty Cartridge. I wasn't planning on making a sympathy card but as it came together it just seemed to fit.

Hello Kitty Greetings for the Winged Heart

Tim Holtz Embossing ink and white embossing powder
All papers are from scraps
Handmade skittles

Wings are glittered and UTEE covered
liquid pearls

I hope you will join us in this super challenge!

She is Singing with the Angels...

Someone said that to me at my Sister's funeral. I never forgot it either. So when  I found out my cousin who is just a few years older than me passed away, this was the phrase I wanted to think about while I made the card to send to my Aunt and Uncle. 

It is such sad times when a family member is lost.

I included the poem Her Journey has Just Begun on the inside.

I used A Child Years for the Fairy Cut.

And the Allegro Music notes for the cuttlebug embossing folder.
