Wahoo - This weeks Featured Stamper is not only every stampers friend but one of our very won Twisted Sisters - what a priviledge to honour you Pat!
I have not chosen any particular card to case, but just some 'Pat-isms' have been added to my card!! You can see Pat's amazing gallery here: Blooms in a Box's Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
Pat - I know how you feel about these little Tilda's and I could not resist making one in honour of you!! (The Lolly Man and I think it is only fitting! LOL!) I recieved this one as part of a RAK from my friend Rosy Eckhardt - thank you Rosy! I have used a number of punches in honour of the hundred's of photo corners and flowers you have punched for me, what a labour of love!!
I have added the gorgeous lace that my Mum sent me - it is from my Great Grandmothers collection, which now resides with my Mum....thanks Mum!!
It is also for my Twisted Sisters Challenge for last Fridya, to make a card for encouragement - this little image just 'lifts my heart' holding that adorable little bird in her hand (I love birds!)
Each Square has been individually paper peirced and the swirl has had shimmer added, with the flower mounted on foam tape, for dimension and fo course that gorgeous little 'bling thing' added!

Ai yi yi! Where's that gal's lips? Did the lil birdie eat 'em up? Lol- oh Linda, you and that Lolly Man! I swear! None the less, I feel da love, because your work is always full of just that, lots of heart in each creation. Your image is precious and what a tender moment. I *love* birds (come home at lunch everyday to refill my critters lil feeder!) I love your swirls, paper piercing and beautiful signature lace. Great Grandma's lace, I am so honored! Linda, thank you for your many kind words. Your calls, PM's and the email's we share prayer time make me feel so much closer to you and I love that you take the time to do that! I am beyond excited that you are now published too! Oh my! How wonderful is that! Thanks for sharing this day, and making me smile again. LYMI
