With Sympathy ... Thinking of You

Sadly, my Sister-in-law's mother, Nella, has passed away - she just missed her 86th birthday :(

For Carlo (Husband/Father)

The first card is a new technique (new to me) and card I saw on Splitcoaststampers

For Sister-in-law & Brother-in-law & nephews, Liam & Peter

For other family members

For other family members

The other cards were made using a simple layout, with some of my fave Stampin Up Two Step stamps Botanical Blooms & Flower Fancy.  

Sentiment stamps are from Ultimate Crafts Ooh La La Collection.

Layers & Tags have been cut with Spellbinder Dies.

Ribbons in my stash for ages, & cardstock is a mix of Blue Edge Crafts & Stampin Up.

The Funeral service is today, we are hoping the weather will be kind to us.

Happy Birthday Liam!

the nephew is turning 19 today ............... where did that year go!

I have been just waiting for the opportunity to use the Kaisercraft 'happy birthday' stamps - nice big letters! 
Sentiment was heat embossed with gold, and I love the idea of a shaker card, so I used one of my balloon dies, and filled with sequins & stars.

Nice and simple, not too girly! but has the obligatory 'CrafteeCC bling' style!
