Every time I sit down to make a post, I wish I had something fun to talk about, but I rarely do...I'd take simplicity any day though.
The silhouette images are from my Nature Silhouette set that will be available on Thursday, April 3. "Miss You" is from my Scripty Words set. I used Basic Grey paper, Autumn Leaves buttons, Brilliance Ink, I have no idea who makes the wide lace and my ever faithful Scrapworks Waxy Flax which I will mourn when it's gone!
*Tip Choose which image you want to be the focal point and ink it with the boldest color*
*FF Hens don't have teeth* (anyone else think that the thought of a hen with teeth is a wicked creepy thought?)
Last call for summer Projects:
We would love to see layouts with the following themes:
o wild about water, pool, lake and beach inspired layouts
o sweet summer treats, watermelon, ice cream and other seasonal delights
o Canada Day and the 4th of July
o Boys will be boys
o It's a girl thing
We are also looking for:
* well-balanced, double page layouts
* summer and birthday themed cards
* custom-made embellishments

Lovely card Kim! And lovelier stamps. Truly beautiful stamps. They are on my 'Gotta Have It' list. Do any stores in Singapore sell your stamps? The reason I ask is coz we may be visiting S'pore in the near future and I could buy it there instead of waiting to plan a vacation to the US. I try not to buy things online as the international shipping makes me feel like I could put that money to better use (like buy more products!!). Priya

Kim, your card is fabulous! as are all of your cards! You do your talking through your creations........
I have been gathering eggs (from hens, of course) for 28 years and have never thought to even LOOK for teeth.....although I may have been freaked out if I saw any.....!
