Sending Prayers / Crafty Friends

**** I have 2 posts today.  For my CR84FN post please scroll down***

It is time for the new Crafty Friends Challenge.  This week Charmaine is the hostess and she has a beautiful inspiration photo.  You can use all or as many of the colors as you like in the photo.



I used a mix of MME paper and PTI stamps and dies.  As a matter of fact...everything on this card is from PTI except for the patterned paper.  Ha!  Can you tell I am a sucker for butterflies?  I think that is my favorite thing to use on my projects.  I can never get sick of them.  In the 80's butterflies were my mom's favorite too.  That meant that every birthday,  Mother's Day, and Christmas she got something with a butterfly.  Until she got sick of them.  LOL


Unfortunately Sympathy cards have been a necessity A LOT the last couple months.  So I decided to make one to have on hand, just in case.  I am hoping since I am prepared, that I will NOT need it at all.  
Make sure you stop by the rest of the fabulous design team to see what they have created.

    Such a pretty card. I also love the butterfly and the lovely papers. Speaking of butterflies while I was on Vacation in SF we went to a museum that had a rain forest inside and it was full of live butterflies flying all over. It was was so cool. I got some photos I will share soon.

    Hope you have a happy week..

    Hugs~
