I am lucky to say that I don't have to make sympathy cards very often. And, when the time comes to do so, I struggle a bit. It's always difficult to find the right words to console someone.
But, the new stamp set "Branch Out" made it a bit easier to express my condolences to a friend who recently lost her dear brother. This new set allows you to customize a tree - with accessories like leaves, snowflakes, a tree swing, and more (see full images set at end of post).
I used a Chocolate Chip print from the new "Good Morning Sunshine" designer series paper collection. Here is a view into each of the prints you'll find in this collection. Item #113966 - $9.95 - 12 sheets per package (2 each of 6 designs - double sided).
