It has been a long time since I made a silhouette card, so the WT562 was perfect. It was either card therapy or a Bloody Mary for breakfast. Snice I don't drink, it was an easy choice. The cause of the stress is an awards banquet for my older son next week. He was smart enough to try his only suit on sooner than 5 minutes before the eventire and realized that all that time at the gym resulted in a suit that did not fit. There is only one person that hates shopping more than my son, and that's me. My coupon to Kohls expires tonight, soooo...the world's worst 2 shoppers are going out Christmas eve to buy a suit for a 20 year old with very broad shoulders and a tiny waist. Shopping on Christmas eve ( or any time during the month of Dec.) is on a par with walking through Hades with the devil himself. Happy holiday to all the wonderful people in this fabulous community of crafters. TFL, Francie

Oh, that is beautiful, Francie. And the perfectly knotted silver bow dresses it up into something even more special. I am always full of admiration for prople who are happy to emboss with white; it fills me with trepidation.
I'm with you on not liking shopping... I hope you managed to find something without too much trauma.

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
life is something that happens only when you run out of cardstock

This card is beautiful! The background colors are vibrant and yet they harmonize so well. The white embossing is gorgeous. Everything about this card is right...love it.
