This month’s Creating Coast to Coast is coming to you from West to East. Karen Hallam in California has chosen our direction with a color assignment.
Here’s Karen’s festive card…
And here in Pennsylvania, I decided on a sympathy card with a subtle shade of green paired with gold.
I’m trying to add a few sympathy cards to my stash. Most of my current sympathy cards are more on the feminine side. So I’m creating a few that would be appropriate for both men and women. I live in a 55+ community and sadly we get community announcements from time to time that warrant a sympathy card. I also want to create some that are more on the masculine side. To have a nice collection of sympathy cards handy is so helpful given that you never know when you’ll need one and I think it’s important to get them out in a timely manner.
Here’s a look inside…

This is really pretty, Rosanne. Yes, it would be a good idea to have a stash of sympathy cards on hand. Seems like we’re needing them more often too. Thanks for another month of CC2C!
Thanks, Karen! See you next month!
