My time on the Dirty Dozen Design Team has come to an end. I'd like to extend a very warm thank you to Jenn, Julie, Daven, and all of the behind the scenes people for creating and maintaining a community where stampers can come together to share the common love of stamping. I have been welcomed with open arms and am truly blessed and honored to have been given this once in a lifetime opportunity to work with and become friends with the very talented artists on this site. The girls are all so amazing and it has been such a privilege to work alongside the best of the best. I will cherish my memories forever.
When I first became a Dirty Dozen Team Member, I stated that I would do my very best to create cards and projects to inspire your creative talents. It is my hope and prayer that I have accomplished that! Thank you everyone for your very kind words and wonderful compliments on my work in the Fan Club gallery. I now move on to the Dirty Dozen Alumni and wish you all the very best.
Greetings from Tampa! At one time it was the cigar capital of the world. Every year in historic Ybor city a Cigar Festival is held during November. The world record for the longest cigar ever made is held by Tampa. The cigar measured over 101 feet long . . . now that's one long cigar! Ybor city also hosts the famous Columbia restaurant with live Flamenco dancers. We even have our own little Mardi Gras . . . we call it Gasparilla!
The Gulf coast beaches are breathtakingly beautiful with white sand, clear aqua water, tranquil sunsets . . . a wonderful place to grow up and now raise my family. This image represents the tropical vegetation and flamenco dancers.
The stamps are from Inque Boutique and Rubbernecker.

Jerri, you have been SUCH a HUGE inspiration to me, and I am so glad we got to be *dirty* together! I will miss all of your gorgeous creations each month, but I am so glad we can still hang out in the DDA!
This is magnificent! Your coloring, as usual, is breathtaking and I just love these images!
Thank you so much for delighting us all with your art for the past 6 months! See ya on the other side!!
MWAH!
