Flairing with My Friends on Flashback Friday!

WELCOME Friends!  
Do you know what today is?

It's Flashback Friday's 20th Challenge Hop!  Woot! Woot!
(click on the badge to take you there)
The Flashback Friday Challenge is to post your 'first' of the challenge at hand. 
You create a 'new post' of your original project (even if it's an awful picture taken from way back then, LOL)! That's the fun of the challenge...you take ownership of your card, layout, whatever it is, in the current day! It's all for fun and sometime's it's a project that you ask yourself 'what was I thinking?' or, it could be something that is still spectacular!

AND
You share your creations with all your friends using your Unity Stamp Co stamps!
And did you see those new CHA sets?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm am totally excited because I am the Guest Designer for 
Amy's 20th Challenge at Flashback Friday!  
This means that I was able to pick the challenge which is:  
Your first 'Black and White' card or creation!
Hope you can find one of your past creations and join in!

Here's one set of black and white cards that I found back in the beginning of 2010, using my 


I white embossed the ornate frames, adding ribbon, pearls, and the sentiments in this kit; then added some frill with the white lace on the side.

Please try to join in on this challenge with anything 'Black and White', even if you have a splash of color!
