Treasured Memories at Sentimental Sundays


Hey everyone!  I hope this finds you all enjoying your wonderful spring day - it is sunny and clear here in Central Alberta and I am *itching* to get outside and play.  First things first, though, the SNOW has to melt away!  The roads are nice and dry so I was able to go for a nice, long jog/walk up to my PIC's house to visit her on Friday and that felt awfully good.  :)

This week's challenge at Sentimental Sundays is one that had me kind of stumped - "Treasured Memories."  I tried to think of some stamps that reminded me of when I was a kid or ones that had a vintage feel to them but I came up empty.  Then I thought I'd take a different view and so I created a sympathy card.  I figured that when someone passes away, everyone remembers the moments they shared with their loved one... that fits the theme, right?  It might be a bit of a stretch but it's all I could do and I had a Verve sentiment that fit perfectly.

I used the Utah Divas International Color Challenge #30 and the Viva la Verve April Week One sketch:




Thanks for stopping by today!  If you play along with us over at Sentimental Sundays, don't forget to use a sentiment on your card because we can't include you for our Top Three consideration if you don't!  Have a great week!
