“So Thankful For You” Card Tutorial

Hi Friends. If you subscribe to my newsletters and/or follow my Serene Stamper page on FB, than you will know that my sweet dog, Rosey, has been gradually declining due to age-related health issues. I’m heartbroken to share that my beautiful girl, Rosey Mae, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Monday. We found a wonderful vet to help her pass peacefully, and I was with her, giving love and kisses until the very end.

Rosey was an incredible furbaby, and I feel so grateful and blessed to have had her in my life for 14 wonderful years. I’ll be taking a few days to grieve, but I promise I’ll be back soon with more videos, cards and projects.

Your amazing messages of support have touched my heart more than words can express. THANK YOU!

In the meantime, I wanted to share a lovely card created by Josee Smuck for our Leaders’ Project Group. I absolutely adore everything about this card, especially the beautiful bright colors:
