'Golden Afternoon'

This is a clean & simple sympathy card that everyone made at my All Occasions card classes.  It seems that I often here how many sympathy cards we all need......and I totally get that, as I seem to send alot of them too.

In January I posted a sympathy card that is similar to this one, but it was a fun fold & I used different DSP.  You can see that CARD BY CLICKING HERE! 

I like both of these cards......this one is a little darker since I used the Early Espresso!  I honestly am not sure which one I like better.  I am a fun fold girl....but this clean & simple one is cute too with the Wood Textures DSP!

Where did I get this ribbon?  It is the Burlap Ribbon on pg. 200 in the Annual Catalog.  I cut it to approx 3"- cut in half, tied in a knot & then shredded the ends!

Yesterday was a busy day with kids & stamping!  Last night I made a quick trip to the bank to deposit a hog check & right back home to stamp!

This morning I'm up early to work on things before I head to town.  I'll take the twins to school & spend my day with the 3 little ones.  Tonight I'll burn the midnight oil stamping again!  As I have 3 classes this weekend to get ready for, and I'm still working on putting all of the supplies & things away from all of my All Occasions class projects!

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs-
