Golden Afternoon

Hello & Happy Thursday!

It's a rainy morning here and hopefully the sun will come out this afternoon!

Today I am headed down to my stamp table to work on more cards.

I have told myself that I have to start using up all the millions of packs of designer series papers I have been collecting since my early days of stamping.

The last several days I have been mixing old papers with new stamps and I like how they turned out!

Today though I have another card made using the Buffalo Check background stamp!

If you do not have this stamp, well, you really need it!

I stamped the Buffalo Check background in Night of Navy and paired this with a new set called Golden Afternoon. This set comes from the Occasions Mini Catalog on page 31.

I liked the variety of sentiments and the font!

Card Details:

Stamps: Buffalo Check Background, Golden Afternoon

Ink: Night of Navy, Crumb Cake

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Night of Navy, Whisper White

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Square Layering Framelits, Night of Navy Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Last week I seen my graduating class of 1984 lost a classmate.

This classmate contacted me in 2012 to make his mom a special Mother's Day card.

He & his mom loved the card so much.

He sent me a handwritten thank you letter which I still have.

He passed away from a massive heart attack at 52 years old.

I got the letter out & read it.

I was pretty saddened by his passing.

I am going to send this card to his wife.

His funeral was last Friday.
