Have you heard the news?

Jessica is here to STAY! WOOHOO! Jessica Diedrich has been the Unity guest designer for the past couple months and we are SO excited that she's going to stick around on a permanent basis as a Unity ROCKSTAR! Isn't that awesome? She's really a perfect fit, love that girl! AND I'm excited to announce that I get to MEET her next month! EEEEKS! I'm going to her neck of the woods for a conference for work and I'm thrilled that she lives so close, yippppeee! Welcome to the fold Jess!

Okay, quick card from me tonite! I've been studying *half-heartedly, I admit* for my promotion test in March so my mojo is kinda zapped this week:( I worked on this card for an hour and a half, seriously. Do you see how simple and uncomplicated it is? Why WHY did it take me so long? LOL! Oh well, I still like it, event though the picture is kinda dark...

The sentiment stamp is from the January KOM! There are all kinds of fun stamps in this months kit, check it out before it's too late;)
The dp is Garden Party by MME, LOVE this paper! I also spritzed some Pashmina glimmer mist on the sentiment panel. It's really sparkly IRL but didn't come across at all in the photo! I tied some twill ribbon around the card front and tied that in a cute little bow and added the scalloped heart (EK Success) embellishment to the front!
See, super easy, yet it was soooo hard and time-consuming today, lol! Oh well, hopefully next time it won't be so hard;)
Stop by the Unity Blog for this weeks specials and fun! See ya around:)

OOOOH! BEST of luck on your test Amber! You GO girl! I don't know how you have the energy and concentration to create under the circumstances - I also have a HUGE test I need to pass before the end of February, my SCS gallery shows I have not posted a card creation since NovemberI think. GOOD LUCK, GOOD LUCK, GOD LUCK!!

LOVE the card - and it takes me quite some time to make a card. Tend to obsess over it!
