Flourishes…

Published by Julia Stainton at 2:40 pm under Card Designs, Challenges

I love the flourishes that are “all the rage” these days. You can tell I love them…just look up at my banner. Today, Trudee posted the Ways to Use it Challenge for me so that I could spend more time with my mom. I spent the morning there and came home for this afternoon as the babysitter had to leave. Mom no longer knows I’m there and I know it won’t be long until she is free from her disease and will be in Glory. This simple card is inspired by her.

    It sounds, and looks, as though you are making some beautiful memories of your mom’s last days. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

    What would we do without the thoughts and prayers from our stamping family? Rest in that and I pray that you feel God’s arms around your entire family.

    Julia,
    My prayer is that God will hold you close through this time. I know that my faith in the Lord is the only thing that carried me through days just as you are dealing with right now. May God bless you and keep you. I’ll be praying for all of your family.
    Hugs,

    So pretty Julia, I am so glad to know that your mom “Believes” so be comforted by that assurance. My prayers are with your family, this is a hard time to watch as she no longer has recognition for you. Her spirit knows you are there. I lost my mom at 15 to cancer, my heart aches for you right now. God bless you.

    Beautiful Julia.

  22. jacksonbelleon 15 Jun 2007 at 6:24 pm

    I totally missed your card J! Sorry!! I LOVE this!!! It’s beautiful! Love the colors, love everything about it! :D

  23. leslierichon 16 Jun 2007 at 1:57 am

    Julia, I know the act of creating this card helped you feel your Mom’s presence even more. A little bit of her must always be with you when you do your beautiful work. I had the same experience with my own Mom a few years ago and sometimes when I stamp or create she’s very much there with me. I felt a pang of pain for you when I read your post and saw your card. Be well, Julia. Your Mom feels your love and I know she’s peaceful because of it.

  24. Bethany Paullon 16 Jun 2007 at 7:33 am

    I love your beautiful card! Wonderful colors. And, {{{HUGS}}} to you and your family. Please know that so many are thinking of you.

    ((((((((((J))))))))))!

    My heart aches for you and your family Julia. So much so that I have tears in my eyes as I post this. Please know that you are in my thougts and prayers. My SIL passed last September due to Cancer at 45 (way to soon) so I know somewhat of what you are going through.

    Linda
