I really am wanting a chocolate chip cookie, so look closely, there is stitching there! I was experimenting with the best medium to use on these leaves and these were twinkling H2Os on pattern paper. I don't like the results as much as tombow markers or peerless watercolors on watercolor paper but I'm pleased.

Aren't you smart! Love your hidden flap! These blueprint leaves are stinking cute and I bet the shimmer is amazing IRL! Huge bonus points from me for the inset photo. That is beyond my PS skills!

I'm giving you several cookies because I can see you've not only been busy coming up with wonderful creations but also making time to leave lots of love in the gallery . Sniff hard tomorrow and you might smell the real ones I'm planning to make on my day off!! You may not be happy with how this looks, but I still use my H2Os from time to time and I know how good the shimmer must look in real life, even on regular paper. And stamping the blueprint leaves on graph paper is just so perfect. I'm also full of admiration for your use of the clip. I have two or three that I've been given over the years. Why do they never look right for me when they ALWAYS looks great for other people. Is that just one of those universal laws....
Thank you for making such a special cover-up - love the little brads hidden away there along with the sentiment.

I love your card! I have several blue print stamps like that but mine are from Tim Holtz. I have the valentine and sew cute set and use them often. Maybe I'll be able to use them in a challenge this month too! Will you share your cookies from Sabrina, please?!

Cookies for everyone- those who design and post, and all who comment on these lovelies! Another fantastic creation from Jean, with shimmering paints and a secret panel. Wowee. So awesome for the hidden flap challenge. Thanks for having such a presence with us Jean, both to create and to share the love for the creations of others. It has been noticed and appreciated. Woo Hoo for YOU!

you are making me want the blueprint leaves, Jean. And you are still the autumn card queen. I am but a lowly understudy. Love this one! Great hidden message, too.
