I Will Miss You, My Friends

Some dear friends of ours, Mike and Jen, have decided that they want to leave the Bay Area and move to the area around Seattle, WA. I'm really going to miss them. Probably more than they know.

Mike is a kindred spirit (I love him like a brother). He is serving in the Army National Guard, so he understands what it feels like to want to serve his country. And Jen has that creative soul and a fierce love of the outdoors. They are such a wonderful couple and it's really going to feel weird knowing that they are not "just down the road" (even though they don't live that close anyway).

I made Mike a military-style card in the theme of my CFH blog-hop card (see post below), but I wanted to make a card for the two of them so that they'd know that no matter where they go they'd always be in our hearts, too.

Here's the card:








and a close-up of the card, so you can see the detail of the beautiful metallic paper by Paper Temptress:



I wish you all the best Mike and Jen...and will miss you both. Please come back and visit us!





PS - {I usually post all my "ingredients" and how I made the card, but I haven't been feeling too well. So, I'll just say that I used Basic Grey Two Scoops DP, the Sentiment is from Gina K Designs, metallic paper (yum!) is from Paper Temptress, heart punch and stamp is from SU!, ribbon is from Michael's.}
