It is hard when your children move far away. To soothe my misery, I went to the craft room and made a quick card.
I really love this 'Thank You' with the pretty swirl. I used a color challenge for my colors. One of the colors, Rich Razzleberry, is just one of my favorites. The color challenge is Just Add Ink-JAI60
My card is pretty much CAS. I added a punch around the page border on one side, using just the one edge and added a button with the back side of a Rich Razzleberry dotted ribbon. The bit of ribbon peeking out on the side is Rich Razzleberry grosgrain polka dot.
My card fits these challenges, also:
Let's Ink it Up #11-Use die cuts or punches (punched border)
A Gem of a Challenge #17 Anything But Square
Clear it Out Tuesday #2-Buttons
Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #103-Are you Talking to Me!?
Recipe:
Stamp-Inkadinakdo-Thank You Flourish Frame
Paper: Stampin'Up! Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Whisper White, Crumb Cake (mine is the old Kraft)
Ink: Stampin'Up Rich Razzleberry
Accessories: Punch Around the Page border (not sure which-given to me by a friend), button from Jo Ann Stores, Rich Razzleberry grograin polka dot

Fabulous card! I love the button! Very cool.
I love these C&S beautiful cards you've been creating lately! The razzleberry peeking out from the sides is a beautiful contrast and looks great!
I know how you feel about your family leaving to go back home! My son and his family live 12 hrs away, and I haven't seen my new granddaughter yet, and she'll be a yr old next month :(
You're right, great way to ease missing your family is to stamp. I like what you created ... love that button!!
Beautiful card! Love the color combo and gorgeous ribbon!!
Wow, what a wonderful creation with these color challenge colors. I like that button/brad that you used for visual interest. So pretty.
