A Sweet Sympathy xo

"When your heart is empty, filling it with happy memories can help" xo

Josephine May Thompson: 1/8/37 ~ 3/3/10



Known to many as 'The Cupcake Ladies', Jo & her daughter Helen were there at every market day, making so many of us happy with the simple pleasure of one of their delicious Cupcakes.

I was lucky to have known Jo over the past 2 years as my friend, neighbour, stampin' buddy, and cupcake lady!

Jo loved purple and pink. Her coffin was purple and we all wore pink and purple to her funeral. A true celebration of a bright & beautiful life. It was fitting that I made this very special card for Jo's family during this time.

Stamps: Party Hearty, Whimsical Words (Sale-a-Bration)
Ink: Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Lavender Lace
Card: Pretty in Pink, Lavender Lace, Whisper White
Accessories: Regal Rose Grosgrain Ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds
Tools: Paper Snips, Eyelet Border Punch, Adhesives including 2way Glue Pen & Dimensionals
