Almost finished sharing the sympathy cards for my cousin's family. seems appropriate since today is the viewing at the funeral home and tomorrow will be the service and burial. it's been tough making all of these and knowing I can't be in Texas with all of the family. hopefully the cards will bring a bit of comfort in the days ahead. if you have a moment, I know they would appreciate a prayer. thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful comments you have left here on the blog and on Facebook. they mean a great deal to me. :)
Today's card uses a wonderful stamp I received as a prize. it's a fairly new release from Little Darling Stamps, Dove Studios, called 'General Store.' gingham paper is from Die Cuts with a View. a bit of torn paper bag was added, along with some burlap ribbon from May Arts, vintage buttons, ticket, and tag tied with seam binding from Really Reasonable Ribbon. sentiment stamp is by SU!
thank you ever so much for stopping by! :)

Hi, Jennifer!
Thanks so much for linking your project to the Never Ending Challenge at A Place To Start.
This is a great project and my favorite element is the torn lunch bag. I feel that it elevates the design and really unifies your composition.
I love designs that tell a story or that evoke a memory and your card does both. I remember Miss Esther's Country store where my siblings and I would buy 2 for a penny cookies and old fashioned stick candy. Those little brown bags were jealously guarded all week. Even the buttons are a cohesive element because in the store buttons were sold on a penny card. Most of the women in our community sewed and it was just convenient to run to Miss Esther's for buttons, needles, and thread.
Again, thanks for sharing this fabulous project.
Hugz,
