Moving on

 Another couple is leaving the church and moving out East to live closer to their kids and grandkids. We need to stop this trend. This couple did so much for our church and also the husband got us through the pandemic when our Pastor moved to another church he stepped in and preached until we found a new Pastor that took quite some time, He was a Pastor then they became missionaries and retired here, we were so blessed to have them.


  • 49 and Market - Vintage Artistry colors and corals 6x6 papers, Avesta Rub-on (butterfly) and Ticket essentials Grove (faux stamp)
  • Inkadinkado - Garden Greetings stamp, colored w/marker
  • Eyelet

I would like to share my card today with the Flower Challenge Blog make a square card

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

Beautiful card.

these days it seems that life is nothing but change. I'm not someone who adjusts well to change... (but it is a part of life...)and I have to remember that sometimes the "change" leads to something better or something that does help to fill the void.

You do seem to have a lot of folks leaving lately. Lol Yes, stop that trend for your sakes. đŸ˜‰ I can't say enough how much I LOVE this card!! The colors absolutely speak to my soul. The very spring, floral, vintage feel with the layering and butterflies...absolute perfection!

They say when people get older they tend to stay put, but it's nice to be close to kids and grandkids. The younger people have to go where the jobs are. You're sending them off with a beautiful card that will let them know they'll be missed.

Change is the way of things these days. Problem is that it is not always for the good.
Love this card. Very creative. I didn't know they still had 2 cent stamps.

Hugs and Blessings
