BEFORE I GO M.I.A

I want to get one last post done before I go Missing In Action.  Seems I have some real nasties on my computer and it is going to have to go to the Doctors for a check up.  I have managed to clean it up enough to post this at least before I go!!  Technology - who needs it?!!!

This is the second Birthday card I made for my daughter to give to my husband on his birthday.  I was pretty pleased with this one.  Who said men don't like a bit of bling!  I put Dazzling Diamonds on one of the gifts and a peice of ribbon on the project too.  My husband was really impressed with this one.

I have used an image from the SAB stamp set Happy Moments.  It is such a cute set and the pile of presents was just what I was after.  I know I have gone all grey again-but really like monotones anyway!  I have also used the Colour Spritzer tool to add texture to the card base and also a bit of hardware.  Guys like hardware!  By grunging the card stock, I have still managed to keep the card masculine, even with ribbon and glitter on it!

So, I don't know when I will be back.  But don't abandon me, will you?  It is only a temporary interuption to transmission!!  Love you all!

    Awesome card Paula. The grey on grey, hardware & bling work really well together.
