This morning I have struggled a bit but cannot procrastinate any longer. It had taken me days to start this card. My brother-in-law has a birthday this week but the sad fact is that as a family they have agreed that his wife who suffers from severe alzheimer has to stay in care. He is struggling terribly with this as they have been together such a long time. I could not be upbeat and jolly so this was my best effort.
Card is A5 made from my photography stash
Dies used – sizzix Old Jalopy and
Memory Box Blooming Vine, loopy rings and pine needle.

Good afternoon Flora,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your BIL's wife that is so sad.
Love your card it is just a perfect mans car, I like the car Die............would that work in the Grand Calibur?
Have a great day
Patricia. Xx
No Patricia, it will NOT go in the Grand Calibur, I think it may fit in your cuttlebug as it is 15cm x 14cm x 1.5cm. xx Flora

ReplyDeleteFlora. A very hard thing for your B.I.L to have to decide, but she is in the best place. I think it's a most horrible illness.
You have made him a lovely card I like this car image. Take care. Hazel

Great man card, I'm sure he'll love it.
ReplyDeleteReally sad about your brother-in-law's wife. I don't suppose it helps to know that someone who has severe Alzheimers is quite happy wherever he/she is, even in a care home, especially if they have got to the stage where they don't know their family. Doesn't make it any easier for the family though as they probably feel bad about it.

Hi Flora,
ReplyDeletesuperb card. Love every detail of it. So fitting for the occasion.
I too am sorry to hear about his wife, such a horrible decision to make, but I'm sure she will be looked after well by people who understand the condition better than we can.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
