Jan told me yesterday that her grandson who is a teenager thought the card just fantastic and actually asked about who made it and where his Gran had bought it. For a teenager to go into the in's and out's of a card that's given to him is amazing!!
It's wonderful when you get feedback on the cards you make.
I have been missing in action I know, but with some excuse I feel. I purchased a kit from Sharon at No Time To Stamp in the US called K&Co Blue Awning. It includes the 12 x 12 paper pad, co-ordinating ribbons, a pack of Blue Awning Grand Adhesions flowers, pearls and bling to match.
The amount of cards one can get out of a 12 x 12 paper pad is awesome so I have been purchasing extra accessories in the same Blue Awning range as embellishments.
Up to date I have cut 44 card kits out of the papers and cardstock to match all waiting to be put together with embellishments. I'm determined to use as much of the paper as possible.
Then on top of all that, it's school holidays here for two weeks. We are now into the second week and my son has had his girlfriend here to stay since last Thursday. They both have jobs but start and finish at different times so I've been backwards and forwards to Sarina nearly everyday. I don't mind but it does cut into my crafting time. lol
Finally as another addiction, I joined Facebook which I thought I'd never do. So now I'm playing Farm Ville and Farm Town. In between running to Sarina and back, I'm checking that my crops are growing and haven't withered and died çause I haven't been able to harvest them. pmsl
Right I'm at the end of my long winded post and now I'm off to check out blogs on my Google Reader. Yep, another addiction. Oh yes, and of course organise breakfast. lol
Have a wonderful day everyone.

Yes you are right - that Soft Suede is perfect for these cards! They are such great images that not much more is needed to make up a lovely card with them. Love your card.
Awesome! And how cool that a teenager cared enough to ask about the making of a card! :) I still refuse to join Facebook, but I can not say I'll NEVER join. LOL!
This truly is an AWESOME card Leigh!!!
Boy it's sounds like you've been one busy gal!!! Can't wait to see some of these cards you're putting together - and as for FB - I'm a bejewelled blitz nut - LOL. Look me up!!!

This is a very classy card ~ love the soft suede with black & the perfect complement to the image, too.
You've been so busy - glad you had time to show us this!!!!
Oh, my, I do love this card, and I can tell you right now my husband would love it, too. It's right up his alley. You're so wise to be making up those card kits. Very interesting, as that's something I like to do, also. Usually I'm hurrying from one card to the next, but when I have time, I really enjoy making up the kits. Those packages from Sharon are fabulous! Such a fun project to be collecting accessories to go with it!
Hi Leigh - your post brought a smile to my face! I've been avoiding Farmville!!!!! :) Your card is wonderful - perfect match!!! Here's hoping with the school holidays coming to an end that some normalcy will return to our lives!! :)
Leigh you sound very busy! I cant wait to see what you make with your kit...how about a few pics of progress along the way?
