Well, it is Monday. How's it going for ya? I should be happy with the beautiful sunshine but for some reason I'm stuck on grumpy which I absolutely hate!As you can tell from my post title I have dubbed Monday's to be A Muse Monday here on my blog. I will be a good way for all of us to know what is coming each week! (I'm just as lost as you guys are sometimes!)
Something fun did happen today though. I received some blog candy in the mail that I had won a little while back from my blogging buddy, Sari. I so adore her vintage style and LOVE everything she makes so when I get a chance to win something from her I try! On the right is the pretty card that I got with the Greeting Farm stamps she sent me! I think she was thinking of me when she made the card as I love myself some pink!
I think the flower is so pretty and I was working on a card that I just could not get to come together when I realized that the flower from Sari's card would look lovely on my card so...I hope you don't m
ind Sari...I put it on my card and it does look lovely. What do you guys think?The colors are from today's Christian Paper Crafts color challenge Monday and the layout is this week's Clean & Simple Layout. Also, this week is an open week on the Flutter By Wednesday challenge blog so I'll be linking this up there too. The butterflies are from the A Muse Studio set called Just Because.
This is actually a sympathy card. My friend's mom passed away on Friday after struggling with Alzheimer's for several years. Loss is always hard but it must be especially hard to watch your loved one slip away from you the way that Alzheimer's steals them away from their family.
Anyway, there you go1 I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day and I'll see you soon!

Sorry to hear about your friends loss.
Both of the cards are absolutely gorgeous. Great job!!! I had to go looking through the online catalog for A Muse and there are several things I love. I guess I better start saving up for some of those as well.
I know the heartache that Alzheimer's can cause to all affected. My FIL lost his battle just over 3 years ago. Unfortunately when I met him, we did now it yet but he was at the beginnings stages. I do get to hear many fond memories of him though.
Beautiful! I love that you attached the flower to your card and that embossed image is beautiful. Love the little butterflies too
