carbs:  There was a time when I could eat tons of carbs, not so much anymore.  They make me sleepy and well, aren't good for my waistline.

Fabriano:  These Italian card bases are ultra-luxurious.  Their paper mills date back to 1264!

Talk about gorgeous! I love this card for 3 reasons 1) I totally agree with 'carbs schmarbs' 2) I thought I was the only one in the world that said 'yippee skippee' and 3) I LOVE that you stamped and heat embossed this, the water colours look so pretty against the gold. 3 reasons for awesomeness!!
