So very sad

that a building could just "fall down" in the middle of the night. That is so hard to wrap your mind around. My heart goes out to everyone involved in Surfside. The brave responders working so tirelessly in fire and rain and to those families waiting.

A very simple card today using Alexandra Renke paper and an Altenew hello die. Her papers are outstanding with colors and design and it's hard to cut them up. I love the font on this hello die, it's so fancy. No matter how hard I try I can't seem to get an even picture so I'm sorry it's so crooked.




Be kind to one another.

That really is a beautiful sentiment die, and I love the papers you paired it with! I am saddened too with that condo collapse in FL - it just seems unimaginable that something like that can happen :(

Great hello card, Brenda. I like the background made with beautiful patterned paper. Elegant "hello" is great solution not to cover the pattern.
Sad to hear what has happened. Poor people!
Have a great week! Hugs, Sonja

I know Brenda, I just can't believe it either at how a building could just fall in the middle of the night like that! Lives lost, people missing, just is so heartbreaking. The brave first responders, still braving unstable conditions. It is very hard to wrap one's head around it, it took me right back to 9-11 as that is what it looks like. My prayers are with everyone in Florida.
Your card is just beautiful Brenda! I love it when the beautiful papers can do the work for us. That hello die is indeed fancy look and oh so fabulous! Nothing wrong with your photo, hard to get cards looking straight for some reason, I struggle with that myself. Hugs, Brenda

The paper is so gorgeous, I can imagine it is hard to cut up! It makes a beautiful card and I agree with you about the hello font, perfect! It's so unbelievable what happened in Florida. How can a building collapse like that without warning??!! So sad. xx

Hi Brenda,
that is such a gorgeous card and that paper is so pretty.
Love the Hello die cut it's a very pretty one.
Not heard of that building colapsing don't watch the news much it is always so depressing.
Oh dear can't imagine that at all, but you can count on joe public to rally around in such circumstances they do a great job in helping.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

That word die cut is perfect with the stunning paper! Hope you & Daisy are doing well, Brenda. We're relieved the excessive heat is gone, but the wildfires are already burning. Hoping they don't get so close to us this year. So far we've just smelled a little smoke, but no bad air quality.
