XOXOXO / USSIS #42 & DCBD #164...


Whoa, these colors really threw me... sometimes I wish Pretty in Pink were more like Pink Pirrouette... (did I even spell that right?!?)





Here's today's FAN-TAB-BULOUS Unscripted sketch, for your cardmaking enjoyment! I combined it with the Diva's color challenge.

I swear I must have made 4 or 5 different hearts for this card, and I tohught each one of them were awful, until I decided to do this "faux quilted" heart. I did a little inky distressing on the edges, but I've never thought the Pretty in Pink ink was the same tone as the paper... or am I just nuts?

On another note we got tons of snow here today... not a regular occurance when you live 90 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico - LOL! Alex had about 10 minutes outside before he was ready to come in, he fell in the snow & after that it all went down pretty quickly! Maybe I'll get a chance to post some pictures later!

Thanks for stopping by!
