Adventure 'n Paradise

Have you ever been disgusted with yourself?  If you say "no" I suspect you are either lying or delusional.

The other evening I grabbed up one of the many kit boxes I have lying around and it was strangely heavy.  I opened it up and along with  the usual papers, embellishments, and UM stamps that go with the kit there was a big stack of designer paper I felt matched it, seven wood mounted stamps and three embossing folders. Now I understand locking the kit parts up in the box when I'm tired of it, but not regular supplies! EEK! I'd already purchased a replacement for one of the embossing folders and been puzzled about a couple of the missing stamps.  After I discovered that I had to sit around and be disgusted with myself for a good 45 minutes.

After that I put that box back (yes, I left it as-is *deep sigh*) and picked up another one.  This one was totally light! I opened it up and it had 6 sheets of random colored cardstock and a couple of clear envelopes with card bases, designer paper, card toppers and a few die cuts. I remembered receiving those from a friend!  They've been languishing for a long time.  I put the cardstock away in my stash and pulled out a couple of the some-assembly-required cards to work on.  They were really easy to put together so I have no idea why I didn't do it sooner.

So there you go! I have several more of these packets (6 more of these big toppers!) to play with so expect to see them in the not so distance future so I can call that box done and over with.

The Fine Print: Card bases, designer paper and card toppers from my friend, so I don't know who makes them.  If I had to guess I'd say these toppers are Graphic 45.  I added the brown ribbon, tiny blue metallic discs, and copper eyelets.
