Thoughts and Prayers gets some ink

It seems like as soon as I think life is going to slow down a little, I actually start getting bogged down even more. I guess I should quit thinking and start doing more stamping! Either that or start lowering my standards at work so I can have more time to myself.

Over the past few weeks a couple of my friends have lost family members, so I had to make some sympathy cards. I love the Thoughts And Prayers set and took the opportunity to put some ink on it. Hopefully I will be using it for more than sympathy cards. This first one, I couldn't decide if I liked better with or without ribbon, so I did one of each. I figured this way I have a spare, since often it seems that you need three within a short span of time. Hopefully I won't need it! I totally CASED it from mfleig on SCS. She used the Parisian Breeze Designer paper, and since I didn't have that, I dug through my non-SU paper and found some that is nearly identical, imagine that!

I liked this one better, but wished I would have used brown ribbon instead of the organdy. But, since my resolution was to use what I have, this is what came out of the box. I used some SU designer papers from Bali breeze and Brocade Backgrounds, working in another resolution; to stop hoarding the paper......

Well, I'd best get busy on the pile of work that's waiting for me. I have a plan for some Easter cards, so hopefully on next post I'll have gotten to that.

Spring break is coming up and I've decided I WILL get busy in my stamping room, no matter what else is on my plate!
