Back from the Flu...Whew

Hey Ladies.  I'm finaly back up and running at 100%... it's taken two full weeks to get over this flu bug but after a trip to the doctor and some antibiotics for the lovely ear infection and chest infection I'm "back in the saddle again"!  When you are too sick to papercraft...well, I can't tell you what a horrible feeling it is but I sure do hope you all never experience it.

Ok, enough whining... lol.  Yesterday was an amazing day because I finally received my packages from Gina K and Unity.  I say finally, but really it was just standard shipping time (I'm a little impatient).   I love getting mail, especially when it has fun stuff I get to play with!  From Unity I received my September Kit of the Month (I just signed up for the club on September 29th) and a set of their storage cases.  Can I tell you that I just sat down and made three cards with these fabulous stamps just like magic.  So beautiful and fun.  I'll post these when I have some natural light to work with (after the sun comes up lol).   From Gina K I ordered heavy weight Pure Luxury Cardstock in white, black and ivory... OMG... why didn't I find this stuff earlier.  I was teasing my hubby that I had a craftgasm just touching it.  It is amazing... I think I'll be ordering it in more colours VERY soon. 

Anyway, I wanted to share with you two cards I made for World Card Making Day.  I had intended to send them to Papercrafts but I'm not completely happy with them so I'll keep them for my stash and send them to someone VERY deserving! 




















The first card is an I LOVE YOU card... I had fun with all the layers... You can't really see it but there is an acetate clear panel in front of the designer paper.

The stamp set is Always from SU. 

























Then I had some fun distressing and layering in non-girly colours with this card.

Base card is Kiwi Kiss then a panel of Cordinations cardstock in black (I'm in love).  I had some fun with dots... this card was apart more than it was together.

I will definitely do this banner treatment again.  Probably in pink for my daughter's next birthday party.

Thanks for dropping by!
