Good morning everyone and a a very happy Friday to all! Brrrrrr...it's a frosty 10 degrees in Wisconsin!! Did someone say "spring"?????
Gosh, where did the week go?? It is time once again for Danielle and I to welcome you to our Inventory Challenge. This week, all the girls decided on "complementary colors" as our theme. I selected blue/orange.
Today, I am showcasing Tilda with Flag from the Apples&Cherries collection, available at Diana's Magnolia-licious Store. Tilda is colored with copics. I also used the new tag die with the heart border available at Magnolia-licious. All the papers are scraps. The orange raffia was a gift from
my sweet friend, Jacque. Thanks Hon!
The inside of the card features a hAnglar jogger, colored with inks. I'm planning to give this card to my great niece who happens to be very active in sports.
I would love to invite you to visit my friend and teammate, Danielle. I'm certain she has something fabulous to show you.
Please continue and visit our other fabulously talented teammates, Charlene, Rene, Sandy and Jean and view their wonderful works of art!

Inventory Challenge #21

Good morning everyone and a very happy Friday to all of you! Today, Danielle and I welcome you to our Inventory Challenge #21 "Spring Colors". This is a very special challenge because we are dedicating it to our very sweet and phenomenally talented friend, ELISE! She is about to undergo surgery and we thought this challenge was so
appropriate for her because spring is all about renewal. We wanted to do something special to raise her spirits and let her know that she will be in our thoughts and in our hearts. GOOD LUCK SWEET GIRL...LOVE YOU!!!!!
