Long time, no crafting?

Has it really been more than 3 months since I've touched a piece of patterned paper or had ink stains on my hands? I hadn't even shopped for supplies! How does that happen? I guess every once in a while we need a vacation from our hobbies to keep the interest renewed. I guess they say "absence makes the heart grow fonder" for a reason eh? That's totally applicable to the situation here right?

Anyway... I have actually purchased new supplies, the first step to recovery! And how did I miss that there were new colors of Distress Inks?? When did these come out?? I feel like I need to go buy them all right now (if it weren't 2am I may be on my way to search!) I'm excited, can you tell? :)

After jumping back into the crafty goodness on the week-end, I have 6 cards and 1/2 a LO complete. Here is the first card... rest still to be photographed...



Supplies:
Perfect Pearls
