Now...onto the card. I love this sentiment. I'm sending the card to a neighbor of mine that moved several years ago. I just found out that she is battling Stage 3 Melanoma. When someone is battling cancer or any difficult life challenge, it is sometimes hard to know what to say. But, I think one of the things I have learned is that even if you don't know what to say, say something. Say that you don't know what to say. Say that you are praying for them. Say that you are thinking of them. It will help.
And that's were card making is such a gift. Say it in person or say it in a card. Send those cards. Don't wait to let someone know you are thinking of them.

PS Susan - yes Patten's! You'll have to let me know what belt your child is on. Jonathon is a brown belt. I'm very happy that you received one of my cards! Marcel is at LECC in pre-school too.

So beautiful Lynn, especially with the patterned paper and whatever you did to the card base, amazing!
Hi Lynn. I'm sorry to hear the news of your friend. Your card for her is so pretty and I know she'll appreciate your thoughtfulness. It really is important to let others know that they're in our thoughts and prayers and you're right. . .card making enables us to do that, for those near and far. Beautiful sentiment! Hugs to you!
Beautiful card!

Lovely card Lynn - I love the sentiment, both the words and thought.
Beautiful card and I like that it's bright colours. All the brightness and positivity your friend can get will help. Best wishes to her.
Hi Lynn! I've been MIA with my comments lately, but have been enjoying seeing your holiday pics and latest creations. I really like what you have been doing with Lucy's sketch. This is a wonderful card and I really like the colors. Prayers for your friend!
This is stunning, Lynn, and I think your friend will truly appreciate these beautiful words!
Thanks for posting about the Becky Higgins website - very cool idea. Thinking about doing that someday, as I feel my scrapbook layouts are SO lame lately! I like her approach.
Beautiful card and really wonderful words of advice.
Beautifully done Lynn. I love the colors and love why you made this card. I'm sure she will love the card!
You're so right, Lynn! It means so much to know that you're not alone and that people are thinking of you when facing a difficult time (I still have the card you sent me sat on my desk - it means SO much!)
So sorry to hear of your friend's illness but thankful she has friends like you! A beautiful card too - I love your background stamping!
Hugs,
Aimes
