SPCC #32

I loved this week's colour combo challenge. I love brown - it's my favourite colour - and mixing it up with grey was pretty interesting. It would have been nice to do this as a scrapbook layout, but I fear time got away from me this week. (Too busy crocheting!)

For this card I really wanted to emboss some iridescent ice on the leaves, but I can't find my heat gun! So, it's a bit plainer than I would've liked. I'll find that sucker this week and next week's card will hopefully have some bling!

Yesterday I was over at Sandy's place with a bunch of ladies and we had a card making session! Got a few cards done and have now decided I "need" a Big Shot!! I guess I don't, really, but boy you can do some pretty neat things with that machine. I am going to be planning a card making get together where Sandy can help us put together some snazzy cards...anybody want to come?

Oh, and it's official - I'm a klutz. I fell down the stairs yesterday at Sandy's house, which isn't fun at any time, but is especially scary when you're holding your six month old in one arm!! Thankfully I was able to keep Annika safe...I guess the mother instinct kicked in. I managed to bruise my back pretty good...it's very sore today. Ah well, it'll heal!

Your card is gorgeous, with or without ice bling on it! I would come to the card making party if I was closer!
