THIS IS MY LAST POST...

AT LEAST FOR AWHILE. I HAVE BEEN VERY UNFAITHFUL TO THIS BLOG FOR PROBABLY THIS WHOLE YEAR AND I JUST CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY MY MOJO SEEMS TO HAVE LEFT ME COMPLETELY. THERE ARE A MILLION CARDS AND THINGS I WANT TO MAKE, BUT I JUST DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO GET MYSELF TO IT. MY ONE EXCUSE IS THAT I HAVE NOT HAD A PLACE TO WORK FOR AWHILE, BUT THAT IS NOT VALID ANYMORE, AS I NOW AM IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING A ROOM. I AM MOVING MY STAMPING SUPPLIES INTO MY OWN LITTLE ROOM AND I AM HOPING THAT THIS WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE. BUT, AS I SAID BEFORE, I AM NOT VERY MOTIVATED AND I FEEL GUILTY TO HAVE YOU COME BY AND NOT SEE ANYTHING NEW.
I WILL LEAVE THIS BLOG HERE FOR AWHILE, BECAUSE I DO HAVE A LOT OF LINKS I DO NOT WANT TO LOOSE.
THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING FAITHFUL TO ME AND I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE STAMPING FRIENDS I HAVE MADE HERE. I WILL CONTINUE TO COME AND VISIT YOUR BLOGS, AS I DO ENJOY SEEING WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN UP TO.
SO FOR NOW, GOOD BYE!!!

MY FIRST LONG CARD - A WEDDING CARD

I need to apologize for not posting, especially to Velta who asked me to share my creations. I have actually been creating, but unfortunately my camera is not working. So, now I have to wait and buy a new camera. I have been making picture frames, which I cannot scan.

Today's card is a card a cousin asked me to make for her. She wanted it to be money/gift holder, so I thought that a long card would work better as such. I have never made a wedding card yet (other than our wedding invitations), so I hope she will be satisfied with it. As I do not know what colors they are using, I thought that black, white (shimmery white) and gold would be appropriate. The stamp is a VERVE set, which I received as a blog-candy awhile back.

Thank you for your sweet comments!! I always appreciate them!
