Comfort for a Loss

Morning peeps.

I am exhausted. I woke up exhausted. How does that happen? I woke up originally at 345am, this morning, but was able to go back to sleep till 530a, thank heavens. This has been happening for a little while, waking up early and then feeling exhausted. Maybe a dr. appt is in order?

I didn't get as much done yesterday as I had hoped. Made a dent in the laundry, but there's more of that to work on today too. No plans on the agenda to do much other than stamp, clean, and do more laundry. Since I'm not feeling so great, I think it's a good idea I just stay home and veg out. I'm not even going to shower. I'm gonna to sit here in my sweats all day. A slice of heaven in my book!

I made this card for my friend who's father died recently. I really love how it turned out. I'm going to have to pick up some more of this new paper from We Are Memory Keepers. It's their Precious Metal collection, Vintage Brass line, Verdant is the pattern, I think. It's got metallic accents to it, and it's gorgeous! The polka dot paper is from the same collection and is called Bedposts! The base card is a kraft cardstock, and the designer paper is matted with Bravo Burgandy. Just a simple wide strip of the coordinating cardstock is placed horizontally across the card, which was also matted with BB.

I used my new Paper Trey Ink stamps for the floral image, and the sentiment is made with my Paper Tray collection from PTI. The Very Vanilla circle is matted with a scallop circle punched out of BB. My final step was using my sewing machine to sew a simple straight stitch around the perimeter of the card. Could it be any simpler? I'm doing to have to use this layout for more cards today, it was really easy!

Since I'm not feeling so hot, I'm going to sign off for the day. I think a nap is in the cards for later!
