Sports Loss of your Father

Last Saturday I went to my BFF's Daughter's wedding which was a beautiful day and we had a lot of fun. This is a group of 3 other nurses and myself that have been friends for 30 years and it's just wonderful to see our babies grown and moving on with their own lives. Then the sad part....the Groom's Father was scheduled for a triple heart bypass surgery on Wednesday and instead God decided to take him that night after the wedding when he went to sleep.  So this beautiful couple went from being on cloud 9 from getting married to being devastated with the loss of an immediate family member. As a person that has lost a husband...I know what it is like to see your kids hurt and I think that's why this is hitting me so hard beside knowing all the people involved.
So this is the card I made for the Megan and her new husband Jason on the loss of his Father. It is using a sentiment from TLC, Create.  Jason wrote a letter that was endearing tribute to his Dad and thanked him for being at all of his sporting events so that's why I thought this was appropriate paper for him.

My best friend has season tickets to the Packers and is a die-hard fan.  I did buy a set of tickets from her last year to take my boyfriend which he thought was the greatest.  And we are thinking about going to the ProBowl together this year.  Her birthday is in September so I thought this would be a great card for her.  It is made with the Football Humphrey set as well as the Touchdown 1 and Touchdown 2 papers.
