Hello everyone,  the past few weeks have been difficult ,  I miss my mother terribly ,  not as her being my mother , as I had to say goodbye to her a long time ago ,..... somewhere in the evolution of her dementation .
 Over the years she became my child.....and now I have lost my child .  So it leaves me with mixed feelings .

 But I am so glad she recognized me until the end  and she was always very glad to see me (big smile and big eyes ! ) which proves that there can still be a very strong relationship with totally demented people , its just another way of communicating with them - not treating them as actual children , I mean,  still leaving them in their dignity ,( although its not always simple , it means changing your attitudes constantly  (I remember that about 15 years ago , the  moments that she was my mother , and in no time changing into someone very insecure and scared and then back to being my mother    ).  The difference is  these people are no children  ,these people have had their own lives lived , roared a family and still deserve to be treated with respect , and very,very much warmth . No long sentences or story's,  just short and easy words ,  body-language and eye-contact .

But on to my card making , that is- I'm  I 'm trying to get back into it . I finally got my pictures  on to my laptop :
All of my cards are decoupaged by hand or 3 D as usual, using my punches and die cuts .
Thanks to the video of Becka Feeken on how to use a border punch I got this effect ,







 This is a rubber stamp , which I coloured , and cut out 3 times for 3D  , last year in Juli . I just got around making the card .























To all who are going on vacation and those who stay comfortably at home for whatever reason , I wish you all happy holidays !

Take care ,
Hugs, Rosa
