Some fanciness with a side of rambling

I have one last "Fancy Lady" to share - the main image is from In Fashion, and the sentiment is from Hats. The lovely patterned papers are from SEI; the main panel has gold foil accents and it is oh-so-elegant in person. I re-aligned the sentiment using my stamp-a-ma-jig, punched it with the SU label punch, then embellished it with a punched circle, a rectangle, and some tiny black gems. Loverly!

On a side note, you've probably noticed that I'm posting much less frequently these days... Our family has been dealing with all sorts of things these past couple month, and my stamping has had to take a back burner. Between school, illnesses of family and friends, church, and general day to day stuff (we still need to eat and wear clean clothes!) I haven't been able to "get inky" much at all. It doesn't look like the schedule is going to be clearing up any time soon, either - we'll be moving to South Texas this summer for hubby's job, so we've begun the process of packing/purging/fixing up to ready the house for sale. I'm not about to put is all aside for six months, though - I need my paper therapy!! ;) So thanks for hanging with me!
