Time Flies

I have just completed 13 yrs of blogging. My first post went live on 29th January 2010 and now here I am 1,754 posts later. Can't quite believe it! Thankyou to everyone who has kept me going all this time as without you I would have given up long ago. 

I am showing a card today that was needed a couple of weeks back. A cousin of  The Doc lost her husband to cancer and advanced alzheimer's. Always difficult cards to send. I chose to use this  Magnolia digi image by Becy's Place and a Woodware sentiment. 

Coloured using my Copic Pens. Cardstock and backing paper from Tonic.

    13 years already and I think we know each other since then??
    You made a beautiful card for such a sad occasion. But I think your cousin will appreciate it.

    It's scary how times go by, I'm just coming up to fifteen years and what's even scarier is looking at the cards I made then, or should I say prefer not to look.

    Always difficult cards but I think this one is perfect with the soft calming colours.

    Congratulations on 13 years of blogging. This is a wonderful card for such a sad occasion. They are hard to make but bring such comfort to the recipient. I love the diamond background paper and beautiful flower stamp you used.
