Last week I wrote that my weekly creative goal was to finish the one card I had started and make another four, for a total of 4.5. Well, I didn't do it. I made 6.5 cards instead. Go me! Here are some of the results - the cards I made for the swap with Angelune. Apologies if some of the pics aren't especially clear - it was very sunny in the workroom's backyard last Wednesday!

This one is my favourite - it's for an art deco themed wedding. I used the same Charles Rennie Mackintosh stamp from our wedding invitations, but used gold embossing powder this time. I made the marbled background (hard to see, I know) at the Alcohol Inks Workshop I took a couple of weeks ago.
As a bonus, I made up some little 'thanks' cards for Angelune to send out with the sales from her etsy shop. As a bonus to me, Angelune gave me an awesome package of handmade and chiyogami paper! Sweet!
So as you can probably guess, I'm a bit 'carded' out right now. I have one card to make this week, but I plan on focussing on other crafts and creative endeavours. I definitely want to get some knitting in and I'd like to do some cross stitching. But since it's my birthday on Wednesday (yep, on Canada Day), my main priority this week will be to spend time with my family and friends and to have some fun! :)
What a wide range. I love how different they all are, but still really wonderful.
