I...Well, one thing for sure Anita - I am slipping. I cannot believe that I am just now leaving you a comment - so embarrassing... dear me. My favorite thing is leaving comments... just shaking my head trying to figure out what happened here! Ugh. However... I'm so glad I didn't miss these projects - sooo lovely. Your monoprint intrigues me - I just love it and am going back to look at it again... I think I need to try it. And your flowers - sooo gorgeous. The colors, the sewing - it all just comes together to make such enchanting cards. I adore them. j.

Your cards are ALL beautiful, so cheerful and whimsical! Your monoprint technique looks great and reminds me of an Impressionist painting. My favorite flower is the purple poppy--so pretty!<br /><br />Thank you for all your hard work and inspiration you have given us here at CC3! It has been a lot of fun, and I've tried things I might never have tried had it not been for the Curiosity Crew.

I totally "get" your animosity towards purple; I only use it if I'm desperate - but yours turned out so beautiful against that gorgeous blue background. I am also guilty of pulling stuff out of the trash and sometimes those turn out better than I'd ever imagined! The frayed edges and sewing on these are really pushing my "embellish to the max" buttons; you can never have too many awesome details, amIrite?!<br /><br />PS: I did not have any chips nearby, so I ate Cheetos Puffcorn with my Diet Coke.
