From Graduations to Funerals... the circle of life.

has this GORGEOUS photo to use, or use as inspiration for their card challenge this week.
I added some text in photo shop and printed it on some turquoise, distressed paper. I added it to some lined vanilla paper from BG, and added some ribbon and brads and things. Today's cards are about sympathy, so this is one to have on hand for such an occasion.
Use Newsprint.
The stamp is from Thoughts and Prayers from Stampin' Up! The Hibiscus is a die cut from Boss Kut.
All the envelopes match the cards, and were made with my Kreate A Lope and DCWV Halloween stack.
also has a Photo inspiration of really lovely pillows in a hammock. Go check them out, and just imagine lying on that next to the sound of Lake Michigan or the ocean lapping the shoreline. So relaxing.
