Happy Monday! Our weather has been so nice lately...warm but not too hot! It's been WONDERFUL!! :-)
I have one card left that I made for Verve's June release that I haven't shared here yet.
Black and White (or Black and Cream) cards are among my very favorite! They make for very elegant cards, without a lot of effort! Speaking of effortless elegance, I used Verve's new Kindred Spirits set to create this card. I just love how all of the elements in this set are inter-changeable...so many possibilities from just one set!
I have a couple more projects that I've already made to share with you this week. There won't be any stamping for me this week, as we have my whole stamp room/homeschool room torn apart! Remember me telling you that Copic marker ink does NOT come out of cream colored carpet? **Sigh** Oh, the joys of being a mom to three little buckaroos who are just lookin' for trouble! 
Well, DH finally has a little time to help me replace that. The room was in desperate need of a coat of paint as well, so we are doing it all at once! I just LOVE, LOVE the color!! It is exactly what I had in mind!! If and when we get the room put all back together, I might snap some pictures to share here... We'll see. :-)
Ok...back to work for me! Hope you all have a fantastic day! ~Laurie
Recipe Stamps: Kindred Spirits (Verve Stamps) Paper: Pearlized Cream, Basic Black Ink: Versamark, Antique Linen Distress Ink Other: Black Detail e.p., Black satin ribbon (PTI), Black trim, Oval Nestabilities, Corner Punch, Black rhinestones

Elegant seems a bit of an understatement, but I am running out of words to use here because all your stuff is jaw dropping gorgeous. Best of Luck with getting your room put back together and corraling the little buckaroos ideas of "creativity".
