Where have I been?

You are probably wondering where I have been . . . or then again, maybe not. :) 
I've been here, I've been busy and I've been too tired to post.  Pathetic I know! 
So to prove to you that I have been here and I have been crafting . . . here is a little something I made for a custom order recently.

Customer tells me they need thank you notes for a recent fashion show they did and my requirements are "pastels, lots of bling" and if possible a model or hat on them.  Well I thought and thought and thought about this and just couldn't come up with something that had a hat or model on it in pastels with bling and it not be totally TACKY.  So I did what I do best, I went with my gut and said screw the requirements *ok not really!* and decided that 2 of the requirements I could work with. 

I grabbed my DCWV Luxury stack (because of all the shimmery fancy paper in PASTELS) and picked out 5 patterns that I liked.  Next I found a nice label to cut for the front of the cards (shame on me for not notating which cricut cartridge this was from - sorry!).  After cutting what seemed like a million silver and copper labels I ran them through my printer to print the 'thank you' sentiment on them (because I didn't have a stamp that was big enough and classy enough to use - dang it!) . . . so after taping 6 labels at a time to a sheet of paper and running them through my printer repeating the process about a million times.  Assembling the card front, the label and of course some serious BLING . . .  THIS is what I ended up with. 

I think they are a very "Elegant" way to say Thank you!
