For Someone Else

I have several blogs I follow, many I scan through quickly and some catch my attention. This post (Taylored Expressions) happened to grab me and inspire me to make something for someone else. Someone I am sure to never meet.

I am saddened to think of women that bear children only to have them for a few minutes in their life, if at all. Complications are obvious in some situations, in others, there is no explanation why a baby dies. Leaving parents with endless thoughts of "why"?

I have a close friend who is remembering the sadness in the loss of their baby girl a year ago this month. I see her smile and she is herself but a part of her is just not the same, my heart goes out to her. It pains me to think there is nothing that I can do to comfort her, she has to do bear it herself.

With that in mind, I was compelled to participate in this card drive and I hope that you can find it in your heart to participate too. Click on this link to get all the details.

I followed the Taylored Expressions sketch challenge which freed up my 'thinking' time for a card layout. It's simplistic with many options.

I also follow Jennifer McGuire Ink. on her blog (she also has ongoing card drives, please check them out!) and incorporated a technique she demonstrated and I am very pleased with them. I made several very similar to what you see here, if not the same.

Here are the details:

Paper Pack: Veranda

Ink: Cocoa

Brads: Antique

Embossing Powder: CTMH Silver Pearl

Stamp Set: Butterfly Kiss

Hemp: Natural

God Bless You!
