I have been commissioned to design a card for a gal that just recently became engaged. No pressure, the gal that is commissioning the card is ultra picky and the gal that has become engaged is very savvy...she works in Los Angeles for a major clothing designer. This is my first stab at a design...I also completed another one today that I'll post tomorrow. I have a couple other designs brewing. I tell you, there is sooooo much inspiration everywhere that it is simply overwhelming. I love Basic Grey and the Urban Couture line is simply gorgeous. In my perfect world, the beaded ribbon would have been darker...thought I would try to smudge some Holtz ink on it but thought it might make it look dirty rather than shabby chic! You can't really tell but I did use the old janome to stitch the front panel of the pocket card.

This weekend the weather has been perfect. Yesterday we spent the afternoon on the Seattle Waterfront at the Aquarium...then headed out to dinner. The kids had to stop and do some Mother's Day shopping so I gave them $$...oh well, it is the thought that counts. I wanted to join them in Michael's but they wouldn't let me...probably for the best...lol.
