Unfortunately I had some sad news yesterday that my Grandad had died. Some of you may remember that back in October my dad suffered a stroke and died just over a week later. My Grandad never got over losing his son and since then has suffered various health problems. He missed my dad so much and told us that his life wasn't worth living now so I get a little bit of comfort from the thought that they are together now. He would have been 94 in a few weeks time so lived to a remarkable age but being so close to losing my dad it is a huge loss to our family. My Nan is still alive and they were married 68 years and she has known him for 73 years.
Anyway onto the card I made yesterday for the Just Magnolia challenge which is a fab sketch by the very talented Bev who I am sure you have all visited. If you haven't I would highly recommend that you do as her cards are absolutely fantastic. I love this sketch and will definitely use it again.
