When you are lucky enough to be part of a design team with 2 ladies as wonderful as Robin and Susie, you sure do not want to be the "wet blanket". So, when they suggested "pink" for this week's F4A theme, I managed to supress the horrified scream that wanted to jump from my throat. Cliff divihg, Madagascar cockroaches, and the color pink are three things I try to avoid. It took 2 weeks, but I did finally manage to make a mostly pink card. The best part is that this card had to serve two purpuses...the F4A Sample and a birthday card for my husband. Luckily my husband and 2 sons are used to getting this type of card for their special days. They would faint dead away if they ever got a masculine CAS style card from me. Come play along with the F4A312 challenge and get in touch with your inner pink. TFL, Francie

Your coloring is phenomenal, Francie! I would have looked at this image and thought, no way! What a beautiful job you did with this! And thanks for the laughs in your description for those of us in dismal, cold, gray Ohio!

You may not be comfortable with pink, Francie, but this card is AWESOME! It's already in my favorites. The design is fantastic, and your coloring is wonderful. And all that fussy cutting - good heavens! You rocked this one, girlfriend!
