Happy Wednesday, crafty friends! Creating this card for the Celebrating Parents hop brought me right back to the willow tree that stood at the curve of my grandparents’ farmhouse driveway — the place where my cousins and I played for hours and felt completely at home. 🌿
Using the Willow Branches stencil and die set let me revisit those sweet memories and the lasting impact my grandparents had on my life. I was blessed to have them well into my 40s, and crafting this felt like a little way to celebrate the love they planted within me. 💛
This sentiment came to life with the Creative Labels stamp & die and the Twin Blooms stamp set, and it feels like such a sweet reflection of the love they poured into my life. I’m not sure I ever said these exact words to my grandparents, but I hope with all my heart they always knew I felt this way.
