In Our Hearts

This week my beloved grandfather passed away peacefully in his sleep at the grand age of 96. I know I'm feeling heartbroken so I can only assume how my mother is feeling at the passing of her father. As a way of processing my grief I created this card for her.

Treasured Memories

This week my beloved grandfather passed away peacefully in his sleep at the grand age of 96. I know I'm feeling heartbroken so I can only assume how my grandmother is feeling at the passing of her husband of 67 years. As a way of processing my grief I created this card for her taking inspiration from the poppies as he is a return serviceman and the pumpkins for his love of gardening.

Wonderful Memory

We had to say goodbye to our cat of 8 years, Coco. It came as a quick shock and both of my young kids have struggled with losing their beloved friend as this is their first introduction to death and grief. So I found some sweet images and put together a couple of cards for them to help ease their pain. This one I coloured up for my young son using this image from A Day For Daisies 'Fairy Kitty'.

Artist

I commissioned an artist friend of mine to draw a picture of our beloved cat who we've had for 16 years, to give to my husband as a gift for our 10th wedding anniversary. To say I was blown away with the result is an understatement! (The portrait is below) Anyway as a huge thank you I created this card for her, and knew this great lineart by Yampuff would be perfect (I just forgot to blog about it!)
