When Life is Too Much

Every once in a while, I challenge myself to make a card with stuff that's mostly already out on my desktop. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. It depends on what I have to chose from with regard to materials, which is another way of saying it depends on how messy my desk is. As for this card, I'm thinking that this stamp set is a little too whimsical for this paper. It's OK. The sentiment was intentional . . . me kind of sending a message to myself. For anyone who isn't familiar with this stamp set, the inside of the card says, "Kneel."

Materials & Tools: Colonial White, Black and Hollyhock cardstock; Silhouettes Creative Basics paper packet; Black, Hollyhock, and Olive ink pads; Garden Green marker; Thoughts of You and Follow Your Dreams stamp sets; Hollyhock My Accents.

The rest of the story is that the stress test my husband had today didn't go so well, and while he has to go back to the clinic tomorrow, it won't be for the surgical procedure he had scheduled. We're both kind of shocked . . . nervous . . . the worst being that we don't know what's going on. It's hard for me to think that the best heart I've ever known might have something wrong with it. We'll both be better tomorrow after we find out what's what and how we're going to deal with it. For tonight, I'm going to get some rest. Marv's already asleep. Thanks for stopping. I'll be back tomorrow with a card or two and a little commentary, I'm sure.
