a couple new cards

I've been working on some new cards the last few days. They will all be added to the picasa album. Here, I would like to show just a couple.
This one is a simple, "duplicate" cutout from cardstock, with scrapbooking paper on the front. The flowers have been stamped and cut out from scrapbooking paper as well. The idea popped into my head yesterday at work, so I had to quickly make a model out of some used manila folder, so that I wouldn't forget :)

This card features fragments of images from some marketing pieces. I love the colors and i couldn't possibly let such bright materials go straight to the recycling bin!
I also used buttons and my favorite "cotton" lace. I'm not sure if it's really cotton, probably not, but that's what I'm calling it in my little crafting world.

For the weekend, I'm very much looking forward to a trip to Indiana Dunes - we are trying to get a group of seven people from our Polish church to travel together first time EVER. Should be exciting - there is a lot of nature to see there and also some old farms and artefacts. Yay!
