Miss you *beary* much ...

 


Hi friends!


I saw a poem the other day that resonated with me ~

and I read it just at the time I needed it the most :)


"A bear teaches us that if the heart is true, 

it doesn't matter much if an ear drops off." 

~Helen Exley

So very true!


My friend's dad recently passed away and I was so sad for her

as that's a heartbreak I'm familiar with.

But rather than create sympathy cards, she had a card drive 

and asked for cards with a bear somewhere on it for him.

What a sweet idea to remember the fond memories and

 celebrate his love of bears <3



My card is using Lawn Fawn's Smooth Sailing and Life is Good.

To create this, I used heavy #120 Accent Opaque cardstock

and made a 'porthole' for the sky and waves.

I cut/colored all the pieces and layered them to my card

to create an ocean/beachy vibe.

I'm sure she will receive cards from all over the globe

and I wanted this one to say "Miami!"


And that's my card :)

Thanks for stopping by!
