"As You Recover"

Hi!
Funny...this is so apt for today......the net work was down...we have just got it back!
So I am recovering! LOL
That is a very good thing, but, it was a bit scary! It made me realize how much we have become dependent on the net! When you think about it..what would we do if we didn't have it any more.
I know!
......more time to craft!......

This card is one of two I made for this week. Basically the same but with a little difference.
I hope you get to try them both.

I hope you had fun...you can see I have become addicted to gold embossing!
I love it. I find, I get such a elegant rich effect with this....the only thing is....I have to sock up on more! I am running out!....
Secrets out...I had a shopping appointment today....and I am sure you understand, that will not be cancelled for any reason! LOL
A quick inky scrappy hug before running out the door.
