Other cards in July

I made this card for the girls' soccer coaches.  The card is pretty simple but I used gold and black embossing to make the images really pop.





I made this card for Secret Happy Mail Swap for July.  I think that we only have one more month to go until our reveal party.  For this one, I used the Snapshot stamp & sentiment from Really Good Greetings.  To embellish I used linen thread, crochet trim, & candy dots in Very Vanilla.  The card base is Naturals Ivory, Basic Black mat & Pool Party & Epic Day DSP.

Sympathy

My Uncle John passed away at the age of 80 a few weeks ago.  He is actually my Mom's uncle but we both shared a love of horses so he has a special place in my heart.  He sold my girls their horse, Ciara, for $100. He also owned the stallion that I bred my mare to to produce their other horse, Sandy.  John was a kind & gentle man who had a soft spot for animals. He often checked back to see how we were making out with these horses.  Now I will think of him when I see them & know that he shared the love of horses with my girls too. I made this card for my Auntie Linda, son Wayne & daughter Karen. He is a man that will be deeply missed.
