I attended Anna Griffin's Create 7 (virtual) this weekend and realized that the easel card fit Barbara's colors perfectly.
Which is good because I'm not sure I would have had time to create something else!
The conference was a ton of fun with non-stop paper crafting for three days. The downside was that it started at 7:00 am Pacific time (6:30 the first day!). I got several projects finished, though not all. This was one I was able to finish along with another easel card I will post.
I'm not sure why I decided to attend at the last minute but I did. These cards are VERY different than my usual style and perhaps that's it. I wanted to try something out of my comfort zone. I did learn quite a few new things.
We have some great holiday colors this week - I hope you will join us!
(To answer Karen's question - yes this is my "pretty boy" Leo! A VERY fluffy Maine coon cat)

An amazing easel card. The elements were perfect for the challenge colors and dessert theme. Your kitty looks beautiful in this lavish frame. So glad you took the class so you could share this creation with us!
