So it seems I have been in a blog-hibernation.
Almost two months since my last post.
I have spent my summer working as a maid in a hotel,
very busy work indeed, and very hard work,
so I simply have had little energy left for creativity.
Today I have a day off, and I think perhaps I'll try to
make a card or two. In the meantime I can show you
a card I made earlier this spring/summer for the second
of my baby nieces when she was born.

The ribbons, lace, cloth, pearls, string and button are all from
Ribbon Girl.
I also used a swirl die cut from Magnolia,
and the roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The teal flower is from
a store called Nille.

I inked the Magnolia Image up with Distress Reinkers,
misted with Chalkboard Glimmer Mist,
and added Star Dust Stickles.
