Today is an awesome day for me! I have the day off of work and it's just me and the cat...and she was in my room today, watching me create some Elegant cards. I think I'm going to go with these designs for our Shoe Box Swap on 5/5. I really love how they turned out. I wanted to start using some retired products. I chose Basic Gray and Pink Taffeta ribbon, Presto Patterns Designer Paper (sponged Basic Gray Ink over the design and it really pops). I also found some white Daisys with flat pearl centers. I used some Dazzling Details to dress up the daisy petals. And the Elegant Lines Embossing folder on white card stock. A couple of the flower centers are made with Morning Mocha designer paper, punched with the 1 inch circle punch. I can't decide which one I like the best, so I've prepared enough supplies for everyone in our group to choose. I'm bringing them all to the Swap :-) Hope you like them too! Thanks for stopping by.....

I'm Back !
It's been a while but I do have a really good excuse! Honest ! Besides my branch closing down and me moving to another one far away, I actually did get my craft room remodeled. I now am the proud owner of a Stamping "zone" so to speak. Complete with lots of counter space, cabinets, pull out shelves and two custom made shelving units for punches. I also have a Big Shot and cutting station and a special place for embossing. I am in Heaven for sure!
I do have some cards to show you today. I managed to squeeze in some time to create. So here's a couple of cards I made recently. I hope you like them.
This one was made with the Stampin' Up! Lace Border Punch and the Bigz Flowers Die
I added some pearls for some bling. Haven't made a sentiment yet but I'll save that for later.
This is a non Stampin' Up! card. Made with some stash paper and cardstock. We can always use a Friend card, right? Notice the flower on the left side? That's because I made a boo boo when I was cutting the corner. I originally wanted it to match the other corner, but for some reason, I slipped. Oh well....I just cut it off at an angle and added a flower and bow! Mistakes sometimes make us more creative! :-)
