I would like to enter this one into the challenge at


My second DT card is for the Facebook May challenge at
KERST/CHRISTMAS
the theme is A/GOES with the option of Real or Faux stitching, this card falls into the A/goes
I have used an image from our Sponsor Sheepski Designs called Christmas Box I have coloured with markers and added some white Flower Soft for the snow, the papers are a mix.

Many, many thanks for your kindness in leaving me such wonderful comments on my previous work, I have and still am very low, my Mum will be interred in the grave with my dad on the 20th of this month so it will be a small funeral, my heart is still breaking and it and I will never be the same again.

Apologies for keep bringing this up but it is my main focus and I just felt I wanted to share it with my blogging friends who know how I am feeling.
hugs to you all

Hi Lorraine, those are two fabulous cards! Love the cute boy, and your colour combo is perfect for the image. Am also very impressed that you are working on Christmas cards already, for me it's the one part of cardmaking that I really don't enjoy and so try really hard to avoid!

I'm sorry to hear you are still very low, but it's entirely understandable. The loss of a much loved Mother will take a long while to get used to, I would think, and hope the 20th goes as well as possible for these things.
Best wishes,
Sarah

I understand your sadness.

I am so sorry for the deep grief you are suffering Lorraine. You were so close to your gorgeous Mum and you had a beautiful relationship with her. It will take a long time to get over sweetheart.

Your two cards are gorgeous and your Mum is looking down on you willing you to carry on with this hobby that you love.
Hugs
