With Sympathy.....

This card is for no family in particular, thank goodness, but you never know when you are going to need a sympathy card.


The image is from a box of seconds I bought off of Art Impressions for $40!! You get $100 worth of stamps and the only thing that was wrong was that the image on the wood maybe was brushed off or kind of crappy. I did have one stamp that the rubber was crooked, but I have a BIG star on that one so I know to twist it a little!! Here I am -- learning by messing up!!!


and the sentiment is from Printworks - don't they have the cutest font!!?


The patterned paper is from DCWV Old World Stack. It is a lovely textured paper and the pack is 8 x 8 paper with tons of beautiful old world - I call them wallpaper - designs!


Of course the ribbon is Offray that I buy at Walmart. They have lots of spools of ribbon in the sewing section that sell for about .59 - $1.59 and there is about 5 years on each one. I always buy the chocolate ribbon because I use it up sooooo fast!!

Of course the base of the card uses Papertrey Ink's white cardstock which is such a beautifully heavy paper. It only cost $6 for 40 sheets of 8-1/2 x 11 paper! So of course I loaded up this last stamp release.

And I bought their new coloured paper which, according to everyone who already HAS THEIR PAPER (ugh!), is just bee-yoo-ti-ful!!
Oh I can hardly wait!!


LUCKY ME!!

    Love the images on this card. To bad they are all out of those $40 seconds! I hope I can catch it next time.

    I just placed my first papertrey paper order and can hardly wait. I am hoping that the white is as fabulous as I hear, and the colors too! Looking forward to seeing your samples.
