A Blessing for You



I liked the black-and-white New York card I made on Monday and decided to try it with another rather awkwardly shaped stamp, this one from Stampendous. Boy, is it old. The copyright date on it is 1994! Well, that's an old stamp for me because it was made about 8 years before I even knew stamping was a hobby, much less that I would obsess about enjoy it as much I have.

This blessing is for you, my kind and generous readers, to keep you until next week. I will be without internet this weekend, and Monday is hugely busy, so I may not be able to post again until Tuesday.

It feels weird to know that I won't be sharing with you for the next few days, but rest assured, as soon as life settles down again (and my seriously long and fast road trip is behind me), I'll be back. Please say a prayer for me as I travel, if you get a chance!

Supplies
stamps: Stampendous
ink: Palette Noir
paper: PTI white
accessories: dimensionals, ribbon

  4. Oh, no! I'm already going through withdrawal! Okay, I'll try to cope without you...........but it'll be hard. I've always loved black and white, and this card is gorgeous. It would be a wonderful sympathy card or wedding card. Great job, as always, Susan. Enjoy your time off. I know you'll miss us as much as we'll miss you!

  8. What a great way to use that stamp {i am with you, I thought stamping was something children did in school, then I had my own children and I can not believe the time and money that I divert to this hobby}
    Safe journey

  9. Wow! We're so glad you used this stamp, and how elegant it looks in this beautiful format. It's a keeper, by the way, still available even after all these years. You've done a lovely job with this classy color scheme! Thanks for using Stampendous products!

  10. Just this very morning I was thinking about you, wondering what would happen to my day if I went here some morning and found you had summarily bagged your blog. Quick, we need a 12-step program until you return. :-)

    Blessings for safe travel, and may the route be littered with Spring wildflowers.

  14. We'll miss you... and how long has it been since you've had to go that long without internet? :P I know it's just part of my daily life now, and feels really strange when I'm without it for a few days. Enjoy your weekend!
    (P.S. since you were kind enough to ask... my cat Cricket had surgery today to remove her massed-cell tumour. She handled the anaesthetic really well -- a worry since she'll be 14 next week -- and so far, so good!)

  15. Shock! Horror! You are going AWOL?? What am I to do without my daily fix?? I have a few days to catch up on from being away myself but then what? How will I feed my addiction? Sob! Sob!
    I think you get the message... I (we) will miss you :(
    Just keep repeating -
    it is only 3 days....it is only 3 days.
    Seriously though have a safe trip and not too fast ;)
    Oh yes - wonderful card, stunning in its simplicity. May be an old stamp but still a beautiful sentiment.
