You never learn anything by doing it right. - Anonymous

So I had to put the card making on hold to whip up some sympathy cards.
I have the O/S's birthday card on the go, and my March cards for the CCAYR site.





Not sure if the ribbon goes, but it was what was handy.
I think I need to stockpile Sympathy cards the way things are going.
I had some new stamps to play with for the inside, and this Medallion stamp is one of my favorites....I actually had it out to use on Kalens BD card.

I did make some of the quilt cards.
Nothing like Curt's over HERE!
But I'm happy with them, and I think my quilter aunt will be too!




I used my Cricut to cut out 1 inch squares cause *horrors I don't have a 1" punch!WTH!
So I used the left over pieces for kind of a frame. They're 5X5".

A bunch of us were supposed to go for dinner tonight to celebrate a GF's birthday.
At 4:30 pm.
She texted me at 3:26 pm, to cancel, said she'd had a bad shift at work.
I had to try to remember who I'd asked, cause we made this date a week ago.
Then I texted her and asked if she wanted company for a while, then at 4:01 pm, I texted, "alrighty, going home now, and I shut my phone off."
Not sure what's going on. Maybe I shoulda phoned her!?
Don't ya think that after a bad day at work, you'd wanna go out with friends?!

This is what my craft table's looking like now!
Had to try this technique.........I have ink all over, shoulda took a picture of my fingers!
Guess I'll have to show you the technique when I've got it together.....apparently blogger thinks I've uploaded enough pictures, and is NOT co-operating!

Shadow was barking at this guy yesterday morning.
He was just inside the neighbors fence.



It was just getting light out, and I must have been shaky!
I found his tracks this afternoon coming up our driveway, so he's hanging around!
Gawd, I'll have to make sure I don't run into him on my way for morning coffee at the pump house!

Better go, it's getting to be my bed time! ha
Reading Iris Johanson, and it's a gooder!

Talk to you later!
Ta ta for now!

Classic card for sympathy...I really think it's so special to receive a handcrafted card during a time of grieving.

And what is that creature in the photo??? Whatever he is, your Shadow better not get too close!

Your sympathy card is beautiful. I think the ribbon goes beautifully. These are my favorite colors. Anything with brown tones. . .And I'm so impressed with your quilt cards! And they are beautiful!!! Love the colors that you chose for them. Your Aunt is going to love these. I'm so pleased you gave them a go. You did a brilliant job with them! Your "moose" photo reminds me of one of those "big foot" photos with the shadowy figure hiding behind trees! LOL Best, Curt

Your sympathy card is so elegant. Ribbon is perfect for that card.
Love your quilt cards.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving great comments.
Moose reminds me of when we lived in B.C. and had all those things for neighbors. Rather miss that sort of thing.
