Cottage Lane Stamper

 This past week another friend of mine lost her father.  This family is special because our kids grew up together.  Our daughters were the same age and so were my son and her oldest son.  We had moved into this new neighborhood and it was a great place to raise my kids.  I even have a photo of our kids, from the school newspaper, walking into school together their first grade.  I'll show this photo later in the post. This card was made from retiring stamp sets, Forever Fern, Daisy Delight and Heal Your Heart, and the coordinating dies Forever Flourishing and the medium Daisy Punch and also the Layering Oval dies.
