Well, it has been a while since I've been able to do the MMSC. I wanted to do a card to honor Pam aka Pam124, my good friend, for being a new DT member. I'm a little late but finally got here. Wow! She does make beautiful cards and is a perfect fit there. http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/
I also wanted to congratulate another friend, Emily Keaton aka ejkeaton, for being Guest Challenge Hostess this week at the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenges. Emzi challenged everyone to use some sort of pin on their card. I found a stick pin and added a couple gemstones to it from a broken necklace. http://www.flourishes.org/category/timeless-tuesday/
I was on vacation last week in Orange Beach, AL which is very close to Pensacola, FL and called Jan to see if I could visit Flourishes and found myself browsing in all those beautiful stamps. I picked up the set I'm using while there. What fun that was!!

Benzi - that is just gorgeous!!!! I really love your beautiful papers!!!! Gorgeous!!! Hmmm when you huffed on that beautiful image - did the stamp curl up from your errr - halitosis??? That's polite talk for bad breath!! If so, send that stamp my way! I'm sure I can nurse it back to health - and use it too!! ;) Gorgeous colours -and truly Benzi - this is a beautiful card!!!

Your huffing technique looks like you watercolored your image! I looked at the supplies to see if watercolor crayons were on there. Very beautiful, and you are so lucky that you got to go to Flourishes. I'm green.

How perfect to use pearls to honor Fruitcake! The image is beautiful and the leaves and pin are perfect. I just can't stop making pins, now just to get them on some cards~LOL Great card!
