The book page is from a story called "The Girl Who Loved Graveyards" - and I guess I do. I often visit my friend Sean and I laid my wedding bouquet on my Grandads grave when I married in 2008. Of course graveyards can be sad places, but for me it is somewhere to feel closer to those that I loved that are no longer with me.
The rusted heart felt right, even though its been 21 years, he's still very much in my heart, and I used my initial to signify this is my heart. The black ribbon signifies grandad and is attached with a brad bearing the letter "G".
Happy Birthday Grandad, I love you always.

They are both so very fine art, your card and the tag for Carrie! And it is so nice of you to share your feelings about your GD and the things around that. I like the way you made and used the symbols. Hugs XX

Its important to make for yourself I think. Especially when you have a head full of thoughts and memories. This is like a card version of a journal page. Really beautiful Audrey.

so beautiful, and a lovely thought
It's really beautiful Audrey and all the more so for the touching story behind it. x
Beautiful card and a moving story, Audrey. I agree about graveyards, they can be very daunting but also a place where you feel closer to your dear departed.
It's a beautiful card Audrey. I Love how you've made this card so symbolic to your thoughts and feeling for your Granddad.
Graveyards are a place of quiet closeness to the ones that are no longer here in the flesh but close to our minds and hearts. A mysterious place so close to those beyond. {{{Hugs}}}
Beautiful card, Audrey. March is always a sad time for me too, as my mum died 36 years ago on 7th just days before my dad's & my birthdays. I know how you must have felt and am glad you have a grave to visit, because I thik they are a comfort. Mum is at the crematorium which isn't quite the same.
