With Love + Rejoice in the season

Hello my friends! I have a couple of cards I made with Heartfelt Creations stamps, but before I go on with my projects I want to share with you a little bit of what happened 24 years ago, October 13, 1986 my mom went to live with the Lord, she was only 46 and full of life, but the Lord had other plans for her and for us as a family too, I have to confess the following years were not easy for me, I went through a lot of things emotionally, but I am thankful the Lord touched my heart and I got the peace I always wanted. I miss my mom a lot, but I know she is in a better place and I can't wait to be reunited again.
Here is a picture of her and my dad, I think this picture was taken at my dad's school graduation :)

Now onto my projects:
