One of my mom's oldest friends passed away. She was a simple sweet lady who showed the love of Christ every day by her actions. The pearls represent the fact that she was a "pearl of great price"!
This was my first ever nestied image! I finally saved enough to get a set! They are addictive and now I'm saving for more! So... one color CS (Ch Chip, Two piece of DP ( one ch chip and one Sage Shaddow/Artichoke) and three embellies (HHardware, Ribbon and pearls). Hope it's not cheating that I used my punch on the inside.

Beautiful tribute to your Mom's friend... Love the colours, the layout and the pierced corners... (BTW, congrats on the nesties - I'm still just wishing I had some!)

This is absolutely gorgeous. I love everything about it. Colors, b/g, pearls, meaning behind the pearls, your new newstie, the inside. It's all fantastic and sure to bring comfort. TFS!
