Black and White Forever

Hi Everyone! I am still playing, and getting ready for my upcoming club gathering, and decided to knock out another sample for the ladies. I am trying to stay with some easy cards that still have that wow factor... Sometimes that is a challenge all by itself..Right! Well, I think this sample does it for me, and I am sure that the lades will like it too! Here is me sample -



This picture seems a little fuzzy, sorry. It is really hard to take a good picture of a black and white card.. TOO much contrast, but I think you can make it out. :) I used the sets Elements of Style, and Apothecary Art. I can not express how happy I was to see that this set was carried over from the occasions mini into the new SU catalog, So if you missed out on it earlier, no worries now! :) Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Dad

Hi Again Everyone! I have a quick post for you today.... I spent a little while yesterday playing with some of the new goodies from the upcoming 2012-2013 Stampin' Up! Catalog. I decided to get some of my card samples done for my upcoming club, considering it is the last day I would have to myself for the next 10 weeks or so.. Kiddos last day of school is today. Where did this year go?? Wow!  OK....onto the card...enough yada yada.... right!..here ya go -


I got inspiration from a Card Creations Magazine. I did alot of reading while I was on hiatus. The Designer paper that I used is from the pack called Comfort Cafe and is from the upcoming SU catalog. It has a great mix of both feminine and masculine designs. I love it! It also features some of the new SU in-colors too! I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek! Details below-

Happiness (CC377)

Hi Everyone! I have been gone from the crafting scene for a while now...haven't I. Now let me say this, it is not that I really wanted to take such a Long break, it was needed. Back in March, I had let you know that I was dealing with some health issues, and in a considerable amount of pain. Well long story short, I had back Surgery. I had thought that I would bounce back rather quickly, and unforeseen to me, I did not. I had a difficult recovery, and am still doing alot of physical therapy. So that is where I have been for roughly the past 12 weeks or so. I do want to share that I am getting increasingly stronger and better as time passes, and I am thrilled to be back downstairs playing again!! :)
Today I played along in the color challenge on Splitcoast stampers. I thought what a great way to get my feet wet again! :) The colors for today were, Blushing Bride, Soft Suede, and Certainly Celery. We only have a few more days before Blushing Bride will be discontinued by Stampin' Up!, so if you don't have some yet... you had better hurry. :) Here is my card for the challenge -



I also used a set from the new SU catalog called Papaya Collage. I think I did pretty well considering the long hiatus..don't you!? Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek! Details below -
