Sympathy Card

On the day school started (Aug. 27) a former student's, but current senior, mother had a heart attack and died. She was only 36 and 37 weeks pregnant. The medical staff was able to delivery her baby boy, but he only lived for three days. They were buried together with the boy in her arms. I know I am late on getting this card to my student, but my life has been extremely crazy lately. I know from experience that sympathy cards can never come at a wrong (or right) time.

I started with Monday Mojo 103, but decided it was too busy for what I wanted. I wanted a more clean and simple look. Before I glued everything down, I toyed with button, brads, ribbon, and a few other ideas and then discarded all of them.
