Hello!! ~ I am home again..........

So nice to be back home again after a month away with my husband. As you know he goes on a fishing trip each September to the north of Vancouver Island. He had a wonderful time with friends he sees there every year and we had the best weather in all the times we have been there.....

The weather here at home has been just as great - although, I do hear it may rain tomorrow. Can't complain though! It is October - Thanksgiving Weekend here in Canada, so you know fall and winter weather is on it's way.

I was just dieing to make a card after all of this time......LOL

I have made a very simple one today. I hope you can see the calmness and the quiet beauty I was trying to do? I wanted the light coming from the top left of the card this time. I sure hope you can see what I have done so that the right side is darker and also under the see-through costume the colours should be lighter also.

I love this simple image from 'Paper Pretties' and have had it for some time.

Today I have used SU card stock: 'Close to Cocoa' as well as SU, DP: 'Candy Lane'. I used my border punch at the sides of the brown and pink DP and I cut out my image with the Lrg. Spellbinder Oval Scallop. I have used a wide satin brown ribbon from SU as well.....The soft peach pearls are from: Kaiser Craft

Don't know if you really need a closer view - but I have one here for you:

The inside of the card is simple as well - just the way I wanted it to be.
I have put 1/4 " brown ribbon across the left hand page twice and made bows that I attached, as well as more of the pearls. I stamped a sentiment from my 'Bella' stamps in Close to Cocoa, attached a ballet slipper with the ribbon to the sentiment and then mounted with dimensional stickers and added one pearl to it also.

The right hand side of the card has three beautiful Prima flowers added with sterling silver centers and pearls.

I hope you enjoy looking at this card....

You may also notice I have a new background on my blog. It is sooo pretty, I just couldn't resist it even though I know that Halloween and Christmas are fast approaching!

I also was taught how to add a way of subscribing to my posts with an email link. I love this way myself to receive other's work, so hope it will be of some help to those of you who like to follow my blog.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of the Canadians out there and for all of my other friends: have a wonderful weekend.
