Sympathy and such

I think I've hinted at having to make too many Sympathy cards lately. Here are a couple:

I don't know if this really counts for decorating the inside...it seems to be a major trend in Blogland to fancy up the inside of the card nearly as much as the outside. Frankly, I'm doing well just to get the outside done but I couldn't resist a few butterflies. This was a card for many people to sign and I thought the charcoal butterflies were a nice touch.

The next was not a sympathy as much as a Thinking of You. This was another one that many people would sign so I did the inside again, just a bit...

(I really like this color combo...) Hoping to have more good news for the rest of 2009!
I know it's short, but I gotta run. I have some fun things made with my cricut that I want to share next time...
In the words of a good friend: 'Til Soon!

Hey Betsy!! Both cards look fabulous and I love that you did the inside too!! I've been creating cards with the inside designed too!! It's sort of fun but you're right, just to get the outside done is already a lot of work!! LOL!!

Love the colors of your cards too!!! Beautiful job on both of them!!

Hi Betsy,
Sorry such beautiful cards were for such sad occasions. Loved them both and thought completing the inside was a nice touch.

Hi, Betsy! Both cards are beautiful. I love that you did the inside. I'm like you - just getting the outside finished can take some time. lol. The large flowers on those two cards are beautiful.

Hi Betsy,

Sympathy cards are so hard. These came out lovely though and I'm sure they will be appreciated

I seem to be needing to make a lot of sympathy cards these days too! Not my favorites to do!
Both your cards are beautiful! Inside and out!
