New Project...not so much

A week ago (or more), I blogged about my "new" project which was decorating my craft space.  A couple days after that, I shared that I found the book case and it was on the way.  It was supposed to arrive last night.  I checked UPS this morning and found out they returned my shipment to the sender (Overstock.com) because the book case was damaged during shipping.  I called Overstock.com and was told, oops sorry, we don't have anymore of them in stock, we will send you a refund.  While I'm not happy about this turn of events, I know everything happens for a reason.  Maybe its not the time for me to take on a re-decorating project, with my son's school schedule, band and basketball.  Maybe I can find something cheaper and locally, a true "DIY" project.  Whatever the case, this is not going to get me down. Okay, it did for a little bit, but not too long.

That being said, I needed to make some cards.  My card share today is my play on the colors "brown and turquoise" using my favorite Regarding Dahlia's stamp set.  As I was flipping through my "O" Magazine, I saw an ad for La-Z-Boy.  I used that color palette and made this little note card and envelope.

To be honest, I have no idea why I didn't make this into a regular sized card.  Maybe because I grabbed some scrap pieces of Early Espresso and some leftover Sweater Weather designer series paper from the Holiday Catalog.  I put this on white card stock.  I love the card so much, I'm going to make a bigger size set of note cards for myself. I always need note cards!!
