Mojo Monday card

I live in a very small community, and I've been teaching at the high school for 14 years.  Yesterday was a very sad day for our community.  First I heard the news that one of my former students and her niece (whose mom is also a former student) were in a horseback riding accident.  The little girl was killed and the aunt is still missing.  A little later the news of the passing of a well-known and respected lady.  I've taught several of her grandkids and I'm friends with the family.  In light of these tragic events, I decided I needed to make sympathy cards to send to various members of both families.  Here is the first one.  I used the sketch challenge at Mojo Monday for this first one.

Supplies:

Paper:  Very old Crate paper and MM paper
Die cut:  Crate paper border
Stamp:  HOTP Heartfelt Greetings
Ink:  CTMH Cocoa
Extras: Flowers and brad from my stash

Heart 2 Heart and Stuck On U Sketches layout

Another layout of my beautiful little girl for two challenges.  On Heart 2 Heart the challenge was to use blue.  I might have gone a little overboard...LOL.  I also used the current sketch challenge on Stuck on U Sketches but turned it since my picture is horizontal instead of vertical.  These pictures were taken on the first day of school in 2009 which is when my daughter started PreK.

Supplies:

Paper: CTMH Magnifique collection

Ink:  CTMH Lagoon

Tools:  We R Memory Keepers mini 8 punch

Extras:  Prima rhinestones, ribbon and flowers from my stash

Pals layout for 3 challenges

This layout is of my pretty little girl and our former pastor.  He was the pastor of our church for several years and loved my daughter.  This layout is for three different challenges.  I used the sketch from Creative Scrappers, the color challenge from Color My Heart, and the challenge to ink it from Craft Hoarders Anonymous.  This picture was taken in 2009 so my little girl has grown up a lot, and sadly, our preacher moved away too, but at least I have these adorable picture to remember him by.

Supplies:

Paper:  CTMH Sophia collection
Stamps:  CTMH Heartfelt treasures and alphabet stamps
Ink:  CTMH Creme brulee, Cotton candy, Pear, Sweet Leaf and Blush
Extras:  CTMH buttons and jewels
