Friday cards.

I've used Nicola's at My paperworld sketch and High hopes stamps with BG papers from last year (lost the front cover so not sure which range) These stamps were the reason that EZ stuff had to come out again and I may suffer for my art because I've decided talc is worse than glitter it goes up your nose and everywhere, I don't remember having the same problem when it was used on wriggly baby.

The second is for Papertake weekly challenge for elegant embossing. The stamp is from creative stamping, I used a pink pigment ink and embossed with some violet pearlescent powder, the powder is a bit odd cos you can't see the violet if you emboss with versamark but it does make the pink pigment ink pearlescent. As you can see I cut out the butterflies and I used the swiss dots in the cuttlebug and used the lines on my card scorer to make the border.


I'm having huge problems with the my PC but funny enough my DD laptop still works but whats wrong with having a mouse so I'm finding the laptop challenging! So I'm still behind on blog hopping but I've now done something drastic and hopefully the PC is back working.

A couple of questions answered the clouds are a template from years ago and thin grosgrain ribbon must have been a freebie from one of the mags because there isn't much of it, I guess has a crafter we never throw anything away.
Also Enfys has tagged me with 7 things about you, I still thinking it about them but one of them will be I hate PC's.

I'd also like to express that most people who find themselves with out health insurance are usually students, self-employed and those that are out of work. More than half from the uninsured are under the age of Thirty-five. They do not really feel they are looking for health insurance since they're young as well as healthy. Their own income is frequently spent on real estate, food, as well as entertainment. Lots of people that do go to work either complete or part-time are not provided insurance via their jobs so they proceed without due to the rising price of health insurance in the usa. Thanks for the suggestions you reveal through this web site.
