My husband's grandmother passed away Wednesday morning, she was 93 years old and lived such a long, full, wonderful life. Jeremy was raised mostly by his grandparents, so this one hit extra hard for us. Gram was the matriarch - and what a matriarch she was. She welcomed me into the family when I was 21 years old, she never batted an eye when we told her we were pregnant before we were married, she just loved and supported us and loved our babies. I'll never forget how she made me feel. Her house was the house we went to for holidays, etc. We have been going through old photo albums looking for pics for the services and it gives you such mixed feelings reminiscing. There's the happy memories and also the grief... and crazy while looking through photos, realizing how many people have passed during our lifetimes. Makes you grateful.
I would like to enter the card below into the following challenges:
Conjurer of Dreams - Anything Goes/Optional Witch Wisdom
Polkadoodles Week 39 - Anything Goes
Digi Choosday Week 38 - Anything Goes

I used some Halloween papers I found in my stash, the digi is from Polkadoodles, colored with alcohol markers. I finished it off with some gemstone stickers. Peace.
This is an adorable and fun card and I thank you for sharing with us at Double D. I'm sorry about your grandmother-in-law. We never have enough years with the people we love.
