Tough Card

This was a tough card to make, because the circumstances behind it were so tragic. You may have heard about Susan Powell who disappeared a couple years ago, supposedly when her husband took their two small boys camping (in sub-freezing weather).  And then the devastating news last week about her husband killing himself and their boys in an unbelievably horrific way.

One of my online stamping friends, another Stampin' Up! demonstrator, knew Susan, and asked our stamping community to send sympathy cards to Susan's parents, who had been trying to gain custody of their grandsons. Her favorite color was purple, so this is the card I sent.  It's such a small gesture on my part, but maybe they were flooded with cards, and it helped them to know people they've never met care.
