<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I happen to be spending spring break with my awesome, quilting mom, so, of course, I had to get a little quilty here. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I made a cardstock pattern with the Hope Ribbon die and traced it on the back side of the fabric and quilt batting with a washable marker:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I cut all those out and made my "quilt sandwich" and hand sewed it together. You could definitely use a sewing machine here, but I didn't want to risk messing up my mom's machines, since she's a professional, ya know. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I forgot to take a photo of the center part of the ribbon, oops. I cut it outside of the blue line, then made notch cuts, folded the notches under, pressed them and slip-stitched it close. Wow, that's like real "sewing" speak! ha!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IJMfU2icR6o/Vuo43v3KkjI/AAAAAAAAKJg/qEqEKWBshkEuygArbrHlMrtbSY_rWJtrA/s1600/Tutorial%2B4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IJMfU2icR6o/Vuo43v3KkjI/AAAAAAAAKJg/qEqEKWBshkEuygArbrHlMrtbSY_rWJtrA/s640/Tutorial%2B4.jpg" width="265" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After sewing it together on the blue lines, I used a damp cloth to "erase" the blue washable lines. Even though they were marked on the underneath side, they easily washed away. Then I trimmed away excess fabric along the stitching to create a neat edge. Lastly, I glued a pin back on.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To put it together, I attached the ribbon on a tag made with the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Scallop Tag Fri-Dies with a couple of small glue dots, then tied the tag on with some sweet twine. *Hopefully* it will be easy to remove and wear. Oh, I also used the Scallop Tag Fri-Dies with some silver glitter washi tape for a little extra shine along the bottom.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you seen the series finale of Downton Abbey yet?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't worry, no spoilers here...except for this fashion from Lady Mary that inspired my card! The side piece with the brown trim was kind of a long scarf that swayed gracefully when she moved. </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Aren't the costumes on there to die for?!)</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Twas a simple super card to make, and it's actually pretty flat and "mailable" with that ribbon and tag!

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You may remember when Michele of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps was diagnosed with breast cancer and created the <a href="http://cas-ualfridaysstamps.blogspot.com/p/calling-all-sistahs.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">Calling All Sistahs</span></a> campaign to remind us sistahs to do our monthly breast self-exams. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The CAS-ual Fridays Stamps design team and special guest designers from Laura's Loft are hopping this month to help raise awareness! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was driving home from work Monday trying to think of a card idea, and I happened to look down at my sweater vest and two, uhhh, you know. Lightbulb! Never in my life has a card came together so easily from an idea! lol!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Greetings!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm here with a special post for the Cox Family Blog Hop!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The paper crafting community really is a small world and you may know Ann Cox. She happens to be a fellow teacher, and I've grown to love this "cyber" friend of mine, even though she kicks my butt regularly at Words with Friends!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ann's husband, Kevin, recently underwent a triple bypass surgery and is recovering, praise God, but he is also struggling with his one kidney. He previously donated one of his kidneys to his father for a life-saving operation. Kevin has been the primary caregiver to the couple's young son, Liam, while Ann teaches. So you can see, they have their hands full right now.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One more day of sneak peeks of the new <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">CAS-ual Fridays Stamps</span></a> Girlfriend Collection that will be available this Wednesday!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For this card, I started with the Curtis Background stamp again...eek, I love this one! I stamped in red ink on kraft cardstock very lightly, for sort of an uneven effect. Then I cut the piece into thin, 1/4" strips and glued them down randomly on the white card base. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next, I added the "friend" Fri-Die in deep, dusty blue cardstock, and topped it off with some silver cording and sequins.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy Monday!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm so excited for this <a href="http://cas-ualfridaysstamps.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;">CAS-ual Fridays Stamps</span></a> release!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every stamper with 'girlfriends' will totally need this! :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You may have seen some of these items before when they were available only through a special box stamp kit. Well, now they are available individually, for the whole wide world!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My card today features the Girlfriends and Curtis Background stamp sets as well as the Love Ya and Tag Buddies Fri-Dies! Oh my, there are so many fun things you can do with these! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I inked up my Curtis Background stamp and stamped "lightly" across the bottom. It resulted in a sort of "hill" so I used that shape to stamp my sentiments around it. Aren't those fun? The tag dies and love ya dies are awesome! I tried to venture out with some bold colors for me and the New Year! haha!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm up today on the <a href="http://cas-ualfridaysstamps.blogspot.com/2015/12/december-16.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">CAS-ual Fridays Stamps</span></a> Blog, yay!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was feeling like a super clean card today. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used the tree stamp from <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Autumn-Blessings-CFSS-15-012.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Autumn Blessings</span></a> to make a little winter forest. It's great being able to use your stamps for different holidays! I added the "ornament" with the small dot stamp and hand drew the topper and stem with a gray marker. I stamped the tress in green and used a brown marker to go over the tree trunk. I added the sentiment from <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Must-Love-Snowflakes-CFSS-14-010.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Must Love Snowflakes</span></a>, which is on sale now in the store! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't forget Michele also has <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Retiring_c26.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Retiring Stamps</span></a> marked down on the website, and there are some great savings there!!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy Friday! I'm back with the last <a href="http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">CAS-ual Fridays</span></a> and <a href="http://cas-ualchic.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">CAS-ual Chic Challenge</span></a> of the year! And it's all about snowflakes! Are you ready to join in the fun?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used one one of my favorite snowflake dies from the CAS-ual Fridays <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Flurry-CFSD-14-110.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">Flurry Fri-Dies</span></a> on both of my cards. And apparently I was in the mood for pink this week! :) Both snowflakes are made with polka dot vellums. I also used the same sentiment on both cards...it's from <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Lovely-Blessings-CFSS-15-014.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">Lovely Blessings</span></a> and embossed in silver. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thrifty fun facts: the polka dot cellophane on the 2nd card was from a gift bag I received and the pink threads were from a small ribbon scrap that I pulled apart. You know, it's important to use up these little bits...it's not like I have a whole room full of supplies or anything! :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you head over to the challenge sites and play along with us!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Check out what the other girls made to inspire you, some real WOWZA items there!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Challenges are running for two weeks, <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(you know, you might be busy the week of the 25th!) </span></i>so no time to waste! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Happy Challenge Time!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We're into Precious Metals this month at the <a href="http://cas-ualchic.blogspot.com/2015/11/ccc05.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">CAS-ual Chic Challenge #05</span></a> and the <a href="http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/2015/11/cfc145.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #145</span></a>! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For my CAS-ual Chic card above, I used the sentiment from the CAS-ual Fridays <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Lovely-Greetings-CFSS-15-007.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">Lovely Greetings</span></a> set and the little, multi-heart stamp from <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Calm-and-Loving-CFSS-15-010.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">Calm and Loving</span></a>. I made a heart shape by stamping the little multi heart image in Versamark around a heart die-cut from the <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Heart-Board-Fri-Dies-CFSD-13-108.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">Heart Board Fri-Dies</span></a> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(pretty sure a "freehand" heart would not have turned out so wel!)</i></span>, then embossed it in silver. I used the <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Fun-Fetti-Fri-Dies-CFSD-15-105.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">Fun-Fetti Fri-Dies</span></a> to make little hearts from teal metal cardstock to fill in my empty spots and complete the heart shape. Got my "precious metal" in that way, too! *wink* I clear embossed the sentiment, then did a little watercoloring over top. A metal paperclip with some dyed ribbon and sequin trim added a little bling. </span></div>

I embossed a sentiment in black from the <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Calm-and-Gentle-CFSS-12-004.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">Calm and Gentle</span> </a>stamp set, added some black ink splotches, washi tape, and a teal metal heart from Jenni Bowlin. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For my card, I went back to one of my first CAS-ual Fridays Stamp sets, <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Woot-Woot-CFSS-12-002.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">Woot Woot</span></a>, which is still one of my favorites. I first had the idea to use the new <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Scallop-Tag-Fri-Dies-CFSD-15-110.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">Scallop Tag Fri-Dies</span></a> to make a birthday cake. Cute, right?! Then I found the "Make Some Noise" sentiment fit perfectly inside the cake. I used the <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Oval-Tag-Fri-Dies-CFSD-13-101.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">Oval Tag Fri-Dies</span></a> to make the "cake platter" in a fun, glittery gold. I cut some candles from the same cardstock and added some stars made with the <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Fun-Fetti-Fri-Dies-CFSD-15-105.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">Fun-Fetti Fri-Dies</span></a>, another favorite "go to" item for me.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used the awesome new dies with some wool fabric and added a touch of flocking to create the look of snow.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For both cards I went for the diagonal Tic Tac Toe: stenciling, spritzing, distressing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But...I also added a little <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(actually a LOT)</span></i> of die-cutting! Couldn't help myself!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I hope you've been enjoying the new holiday release from <a href="http://cas-ualfridaysstamps.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">CAS-ual Fridays Stamps</span></a>!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today we have a new Christmas stamp set called <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Lovely-Blessings-CFSS-15-014.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Lovely Blessings</span></a> and a new two-piece <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Scallop-Tag-Fri-Dies-CFSD-15-110.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Scallop Tag Fri-Dies</span></a> set! Oh my, these are so pretty and wonderful! The stamp set has the most beautiful Christmas sentiments and the scallop tag die is so versatile...you may have noticed I've already been using it a lot this week! *wink*</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For my first card above, I embossed small white snowflakes in white on watercolor paper, then used three Zig watercolor markers to color in the background. I used the small scallop tag die with striped paper, then used the bottom edge of the large scallop tag die for a little accent piece. I love doing this! <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(That's what I did on yesterday's <a href="http://schwooo.blogspot.com/2015/09/cas-ual-fridays-stamps-holiday-release_30.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">card</span></a> with the red glitter scallop peeking out!).</span></i> Do you like the tiny little dots sprinkled about? They came from the bottom of the tag! Lastly, I added the sentiment from the new Noel Fri-Dies, love those!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My second card is super CAS and I love it! Mainly because I love that striped line stamp from the new <a href="http://cas-ualfridaysstamps.blogspot.com/2015/09/october-release-day-2.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Festival of Lights</span></a> stamp set! It looks so pretty with that red felt ribbon! I embossed the sentiment and little snowflake in silver, so simple!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Please head over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog to check out more samples from the rest of the amazing design team! Seriously, this stamp set has beautiful sentiments that they showcase beautifully! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Are you feeling the holiday spirit?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today we have the <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Lovely-Snowflake-CFSS-15-015.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Lovely Snowflake stamp set</span></a> and the <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Noel-Fri-Dies-CFSD-15-109.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Noel Fri-Dies</span></a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Don't you love giant snowflakes?! At least on cards?! :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And, a word die set for the holidays! Yippee! Skippee!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Noel Fri-Dies has three sentiments: Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noel, and Blessings. You might have noticed the "Blessings" sentiment on my Autumn Blessings cards on Tuesday. I love the sentiment dies!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For my first card above, I added a little more "stuff"! I embossed the snowflake in red on kraft cardstock and blue patterned paper, then lined them up together. I used the negative part of the "Joyeux Noel" to make a little banner. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For my second card, I kept it CAS with a watercolor background and silver embossing with vellum. So easy!</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What a fun set of fall leaves and sentiments along with the fantastic acorn!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For my second card, I inked up the leaf with some rust ink, then sprayed it with some water, and stamped on watercolor paper. I did a little masking in there, too. I love the little dot in the set, and here I inked it up with some gold pigment ink to mimic the falling leaves. At least that's what I was going for! hahaha!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used the <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Casual-Comfort-CFSS-14-002.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">Casual Comfort</span></a> stamp set and the <a href="http://www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/Oval-Tag-Fri-Dies-CFSD-13-101.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">Oval Tags Fri-Die</span></a> here. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sympathy cards are the toughest ones to make, and some tears were shed during this one. I think we all hate when our friends are going through this kind of pain, and there's so little we can do to help. :(</span></div>
