Losing someone at holiday time always seems harder since so many family traditions and gatherings happen during the late fall and early winter. Sadly, we have lost several more friends in the last several weeks, and in fact, I have another three sympathy cards to make this weekend. Two of them are for the children of one of our dearest friends who died very suddenly last week. She was 87, so had lived a long life. But as far as anyone knew, she was in good health, and was certainly as sharp as ever. We were just devastated when we heard the news.
But here are three sympathy cards that have been sent in the past two weeks. For all of them, I've relied on the Altenew's "Leaf Mix" dies, and a sentiment from Papertrey Ink's "Warm Regards" set. This one has a different design which is my favorite. I'm throwing it into the challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More: Any Occasion. I imagine a sympathy card is not quite what they're expecting during this busy Christmas crafting time!
These two are very similar in design, but different in color.
