Moments...

(edit: Top 3 Winner!)
I wanted to make Valentine cards to send to my parents & In-Laws. Both couples have been married a long time. My In-Laws have been married 65 years & are both dealing with health issues. He is in the hospital right now & she is down the hall in the nursing home. Today, I went to visit them & thought they might like to see each other. I rolled Grandma (as we call her) down to Grandpa's room. It was a very happy & sad moment. They were so happy to see each other. But it was kinda rough to watch. Life is a matter of moments. Life changes, we change physically & mentally... but true love endures.
For my card I used SU!'s Elements of Style for the sentiment & the following punches: 2-1/2" circle, Owl, Scallop Edge, Boho Blossoms (with "Punch Potpourri" stamp set) & Modern Label. For the background I used the Top Note Die & Polka Dot Embossing Folder.
I am entering this card @ Stampin' Celebration- the challenge is pink & brown

    What a cute couple!! Love all your punched flowers. The story about your in-laws sounds so much like my grandparents. Makes me miss them. You're right, life is a matter of moments. Thanks for being a regular player at the SCIC!! I always love to see your creations.
