WOW, Fridays have always been my most favorite day of the week. Today is no exception to that statement. You see, Friday is the day we take time to honor a fellow stamper that creates gorgeous cards and leaves wonderfully supportive comments on so many stampers' cards.
I really encourage you to take a walk through this amazing girl's gallery found HERE.
I am so confident you will love everything you see on the pages of this stamper's gallery, so you'll want to join us in all the fun ~ and sometimes giveaways ~ The fun begins [url=QFTD28...and the winner is .. by Anne Ryan at Splitcoaststampers HERE. Come, join us!
Carla loves flowers ~ something I've never tried to do and probably never will ~ so I had to assume the posture of taking the path of least resistence.
Here's the CARD I USED FOR INSPIRATION. the only area where I could actually capture what Carla created was using the same Basic Grey paper!
Carla, I am in awe of what you can do with vision, tools and paper. You are an artist in the truest sense of the word. Congratulations!
Thanks to Peggy for the MS Pearls!

Thank you so much, Anne, for all your kind words! I am still stunned, but definitely thrilled! Your card is gorgeous I love the papers and the Eiffel Tower (how I wish I could go there again)! The pearls are just perfect and the hardware is a great accent! A very elegant creation as always! Thanks again!
Anne, Your card is so pretty. I love Paris themed cards and this one is just a great one with your image, papers and embellishments. I would love to go to Paris someday....but for now....I will enjoy the view from your lovely card.

Anne, you did a great picking job this week! I love your card as I love this Parisean image. It was one of my favorite areas in Paris, simply beautiful at night.

Beautiful arrangement, Anne. Your embellishments are perfectly placed--very well balanced. Love the background paper on which you stamped the Eiffel Tower. Great choice for Queen. Love Carla's gallery. For all you do, THANKS!!
