Wow! I love how you really made the dies pop!
Very impressive!

WOW your card is beautiful, I'm addicted to dies also, I just went and spent almost two hundred on memory box dies in the last two days. I still have yet to use them. I am doing the online card class A Cut Above with Jennifer McGuire, Nichol Magouirk, Kristina Werner,and it covers die cutting, and the Silhouette.
I had no idea that stamping and scrapbooking would be this addicting......Lol

MEEEEOOOWWWW!!! That's my purr of contentment having just found your beautiful blogsite and fabulous cards!

Your card provided my morning's breath of spring air, thank you so much for sharing it! You've inspired me to try techniques that I've not done before -- you make it look so easy, though I'm sure it takes amazing talent. I suppose this is much like all those cooking shows my husband likes to watch so that *I* can make him those tasty dishes! Doesn't my hubby KNOW that I work best in the CRAFT ROOM, not the kitchen? LOL. Thank you again for your inspiration!

....and thank you too, to Ellen Huston's blog, for referring me over from her newsletter! Oh, Ellen, such an enabler!!!

Fondly,
