We've got a bit of a dismal day in Auckland today. It was lovely and fine earlier so I was able to walk the dog and get in a run. Gosh, that was hard going! It's only my second run in the last 12 days and certainly took its toll... I haven't been slack {honest} but have been getting over a cold. Plus, with all the time zones I've flown through lately, I thought it was more important to rest up, rather than being in a hurry to be out pounding the pavement.
Thanks for stopping by!
This was the gorgeous card we made at Jacque's training on Saturday. We stamped the flower from the Just Believe stamp set onto the butterflies with Versamark then heat embossed it with white embossing powder. It gives the butterflies extra depth and is a great look. We also sponged over the area where the card was embossed with Elegant Bouquet embossing folder.
You will notice that my message is crooked and my embossing isn't as deep as it should be because I didn't have the correct tab when I ran it through the Big Shot. That's what happens when you are too chatty and not paying attention to what you should be doing. Anyway, it's my sample card so is allowed to be a bit wonky and out of sorts.

I haven't had lunch yet and can't ignore the rumbling in my stomach any longer. I hope your Monday is going well!
We had team training on Saturday, which was great! I love getting together with all the talented ladies and having a catch up. This was the swap that I made. It came together very easily and for the first time ever, I was not up until the wee small hours the night before, finishing them off.

It's back to school for everyone today. I hope you've had a lovely two week break and enjoyed our belated summer. When I worked at the primary school, it was always great to see the children excited to be back after the holidays. However, their smiles weren't nearly as big as their parents :-)
Have a wonderful week!
