Good Morning and here is to a great week! It was a fabulous weekend and I have been super busy trying to get the Product Shares (things that were back ordered, ready and out the door) -only to discover that there are other things on back order….Calgon, take me away!
Back-orders are frustrating but the great thing is that Stampin' Up! does do a great job in giving us "heads up" for dates that they will be available….so the GREAT news is that the Lace In Color Ribbon and the Timeless DSP will also be in this week.
YIPPEE SKIPPEE that the Regals and Neutrals DSP Paper Stacks are in and WOWZERS are they just beautiful!
I promise that I will be back in the groove with creating, but I also know that you all enjoy seeing other peoples work – we get inspiration from all over and the more you see…the more you will get ideas and hopefully give it a whirl!
I know that many of you have specific questions on cards that were posted last week, and I will reach out the the "artists" to get your questions answered!
Here you go….please feel free to comment and give them some woot-woot's and lovin'!
These 3 gals are the best….(2) are sisters and Robyn is a dear friend. They have so much talent and they love to reach out and try new things…They have beautiful hearts and are always so inspiring. I admire their passion and their love and friendship they have….(they said that they would adopt me and wow….what an honor)
Now is this AMAZING Watercoloring or what! Julie makes this look so effortless and I adore the purples…her shading and blending of colors are just over the top. When you hold this card, it is so solid – using watercolor paper does make a difference and this is a great example a super duper watercolored card!
Here is another spectacular card….do you remember that Roberta did a card several weeks ago ? I reached out to her to see if she could do a tutorial for her incredible shading…and I simply was not able to connect with Roberta (my fault) BUT…..I will be going past where she lives in August so I am hoping to have a great YACK & LEARN session.
She used a white glossy paper for this beautiful scape. The work is just meticulous and I truly do not think that I would ever be able to re-create a work of art like this, but I'm game to try to learn…..remember simple is my middle name!

Now to go back to the card that I had many requests about the dimensions, the adorable "Dog" card…..and I said that I was going to create it and blog about it….(I will but I simply have been too busy to sit down and try to make it) so if you want Mary Ann's instructions, email me and put in the subject line Dog Card…and I will shoot you what she sent to me!
Hopefully later this week I will be able to do it….but if you do not want to wait – email me! Many thanks for popping in and many thanks for the talent out there but more importantly and special to me….thanks for all of the well wishes. I am going to have THE BEST ANKLE in the world!
Tomorrow will be a super clean, simple, fun card that will make you smile! Until tomorrow!









You were certainly right when you said there were more Beauties on the way! It always thrills me to see what other people create, and it gives me so much more inspiration plus gets my juices flowing~ Beautiful cards!
Wow these are all fantastic too! Just amazing the talent that is out there! What is even better – they thought of you and sent you all these magnificent cards! You are so special to us!
Beautiful, one & all!
Great cards! Thanks for sharing your lovely gifts!
Can’t wait to see your new card tomorrow, too.
Cyberhugs!
Great cards, great friendships.

Beautiful cards!! Thanks for sharing.
Another beautiful parade. Glad you are feeling a little bit better.

I had to go back and look at these cards again as well as the others in the parade. Just wonderful! Anyway, are the 3 Musketeers going to share how they made that dog? It looks like a wood grain EF maybe? Maybe feathers for the ears? Reminds me of Rosie. The shading looks pretty realistic as does the eyes! That reminds me my friend wants a don’t let the cats out little sign for her new apt. door. I don’t have a cat stamp. I googled cat signs but she wanted me to make one. Whatever. Any ideas?
