Lovely You...


I am so happy you are able to join me today here at
The Open Window because we have another beautiful
color story to share with you for . . .


I love the combination of
Peach . . . Navy Blue . . . Stone


I pulled out my new 'Rondelle' 6x6 pad from Prima and paired it
with the chevron pattern from my My Mind's Eye's Stella & Rose
collection.  They were the 'wallpaper' for this card.

Once I lay a wallpaper base, I enjoy just finding new spaces
in which to layer, and the elements I used include terrific new
alphas & sentiment stickers from Prima's 'Tea-Thyme' collection
and a lovely spun flower from Webster's Pages.

All of these elements came from StopandScrap.com

The 'chair rail' is baker's twine in 'Midnight Blue', one of the
newest colors from The Twinery and the shiny bling & pearls
came from Want2Scrap.

We are super excited to have Tami Mayberry back in
The Cafe as our guest designer and she shares a
fabulous prize as our sponsor as well.


We look forward to you playing with us this week !

definitely enjoy playing with a variety of designers & the companies
they represent and SRM is definitely on that list.

The next one has a special place in my heart because it was made
especially for my dear friend & co-creator of the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge
