Many of you know, that I’ve been out of commission since last Friday.  I had a few blog posts ready to go not knowing how long I’d be in the hospital.  I had Spinal Fusion on L4-L5 on August 4th.  This is me about 5 hours after surgery.  They waste no time in getting patients up and walking.

I am really rocking a new fashion statement wouldn’t you say? Well, the good news is I’m doing well and was released from the hospital Monday afternoon.  I have three months before I get to throw away a torso brace that prevents me from bending twisting or lifting anything more than 2 pounds.  So in the mean time I’ll be trying to get in my Stampin’ Studio to create and share, but some of my shares likely won’t be my own creations.  This will give me the opportunity to share with you some cards I received as swaps from team members and other talented demonstrators.

I want to thank you for all of the warm adn sweet cards and packages and flowers I received.  You are all the best.

One of my favorite accessories to use with card making is our Designer Series Paper.  In the annual catalog we’ve got seven different stunning offerings of 12″ x 12″ double sided printed paper that coordinates with our four color palettes and In Colors.  I don’t know about you, but I find it hard to tell how much I like the prints by viewing them in the catalog.  so, since it’s Watch it Wednesday, I thought I’d share with you an up close look at each of the prints in the seven packages.

In addition to the Designer Series Papers (12″ x 12″) we also have Designer Series Paper Stacks (6″ x 6″) with three stunning offerings, Specialty Designer Series Papers (12″ x 12″) with four offerings of paper that has either extra shimmer, texture or surprises to them, and we also have the In Color Designer Series Paper Stack (12″ x 12″)
