Every time I see your cards, I marvel at your coloring and all your fussy cutting. This is so darn cute! Love the ‘reptile’ skin panel surrounding your focal point. Really fun card. Keep it going; I always look forward to your work! Have a fun day today. Bev
Oh, Bev, you say the sweetest things! Thank you so very much! I really appreciate you taking the time to visit and to write too. 🙂 Hope you have a great day! 🙂
Bev suggested I visit your blog and what a nice little visit it has been. You do Paper Smooches and Lawn Fawn proud – sure hope you’re participating in their challenges. It can never hurt to win a new stamp set 😉
I just love this beauty with all the cool white space surrounding your scene. It exudes fun.
Thank you very much, Maria! Bev was so sweet to suggest you pop over and I am so pleased that you did. I have only entered the one challenge (for Paper Smooches) but I would like to start entering more. They challenge you to thing outside your usual comfort zone and that is something I struggle with. Thank you for your lovely comment and for stopping by too. 🙂
