On to my card, which is just a quick little all-purpose card (I left the inside blank). Really it was just an excuse to play with my new Cricut cartridge. After looking for it for what seems like forever, I finally found Elegant Edges in stock at a Michaels on a recent trip into the city. On sale, even! Oh Happy Day!
My card uses papers from the Recollections Elegance pack and stamps from Kaisercraft (the chandelier) and Just Wordz (the sentiment). I hand cut the tags using a plastic one as a template. All the papers were misted with Mixed Berries Smooch Spritz (oh, I love that stuff) and I embossed the chandelier with Gelly Tins Embossing Powder.
I hope to be back with another post before the week is over. I have been working on a long neglected scrapbook, but I'm looking for a little break from it and I think another card is in order.
Cardstock: Bazzill, Staples
PP: Recollections Elegance
Stamps: KaiserCraft Le Chateau (chandelier)
Just Wordz Everyday Sentiments (For You)
Ink: VersaMagic Midnight Black, VersaMark
Cricut Cartridge: Elegant Edges flourish2 @ 3 3/4 (also in shadow)
Ribbon: Offray
Other: Mixed Berries Smooch Spritz, Gems (unknown), Gelly Tins Jet Black Gelly Powder
I am entering this card in Laurie's Saturday Challenge on Hiding in my Craft Room (Freestyle). I am also entering this in the Whimsical Wednesday challenge at Whimsical Designs (Anything Goes). This is a new one to me and looks like a lot of fun. I added it to my challenge sites listed at the left.
Thanks for dropping by!

Love the deal about the facial hair....I remember when my son started all this - I thought he'd be about 50 years old before he'd ever have to shave!
