I combined 3 challenges into this 1 card. When I saw the WT challenge of using something spooky I knew I had to get out Big Grumpy. The only thing that has scared me lately has been this pandemic. I live in Brooklyn, NY and we got hit very badly with the coronavirus in the spring. I ended up losing my mother to it in April, 4 days before her 92 birthday. A day later my sister, husband and I found out we had covid-19. It was a very stressful time but luckily we had mild cases. I pray daily that my siblings, children and grandchildren who are spread throughout the U.S. remain safe & healthy. Creating cards has been my escape and refuge and I like that Big Grumpy brings some badly needed humor into our lives. TFL

My condolences on the loss of your mother. My mom also passed away in April but not Covid related. I think we all have days like what’s depicted in your card. Stay safe!

Such a fun card and very appropriate for this year. I’m so sorry to hear of your mum’s passing and the stress that you and your family have had to deal with during this year. Thank you for playing in my challenge and for getting “spooked”. Happy day and hugs

Oh, I'm so sorry about your mum. I feel that grief and mourning must be particularly hard for people in this time of social distancing. I'm glad you had your stamping as therapy. It was mine too when my mother died. Great use of Anita's fun fold.
