Friday when I came home from my job as a Kennel Assistant in a Vetrinary clinic (I'm sure you can imagine the days, Bark Bark, Poop, Bark, Poop, Poop, and some more Bark! LOL) I had two packages waiting for me. One of them was my first avrial of sympathy cards YAYYYY! The second was the JustRite Stamp set that was donated to me to help me in this quest of making sympathy cards I chose to take on! So today I sat in my craft room .... OHH I didn't mention I had an actual room now did I? Yes I now have a craft room! I moved into a renovated home and have an extra bedroom 
which has become my Craft room. I no longer have to sit in the dinning room at the dinning room table! Nope now I sit in my designated craft room at the dinning room table! Ok way off track now. So I sat down with my stamps and paper and thousands of other misc junk and wondered where to start? Well since I still had Barbs Sketch fresh in my mind from PMS http://gotpms.blogspot.com/ So I decided my first sympathy card I would use that sketch. I had these neat square buttons I thought I'd use. I kinda found my paper and thread colors from there. The inside of the card is a stamp set... It's upstairs sorry I can't remember the name, but it's a Close to my Heart stamp set that I borrowed from Penny over at http://scrappinpenny.blogspot.com/ She's a personal friend of mine so she was very nice to lend it to me! Thanks Penny! Anyways the inside has the flowers on the left side on a cut peice of paper to cover the stitching on the front of the card.
Well that's all I got done today! Tomorrows a new day though! I enevy some of you crafters that can make several cards in 
one day! Anyways if anyone is interested in stillparticipating in my Comfort aMilitary Spouse and WIN BLOG CANDY! then please read the rules in my post here: http://jesskittelson.blogspot.com/2009/08/comfort-military-spouse-and-win-some.html
Your card came out great. I've never seen JustRite stamps, they look kind of cool! The stamp set I lent you is uh... lol... last year's September SOTM, though it is in the new catty as a regular stamp set! Life's Treasure I think it's called.
ReplyDeleteThe cards I made are on the way, you should get them soon. I think I sent 7 or 8. At least enough to get you started I hope. And I used that same Just Rite set you received (Just Rite was sweet to donate it!) and they are fantastic to work with! The card on your blog is very nice!
ReplyDeleteGreat card Jess!! WOW ... I LOVE JustRite Stamps ... how nice of them to donate to the cause!! My cards are all ready to go ... just need to stop at the PO tomorrow after DH's doctor's appt. Keep up the good work!
