  33. Really like that teacup image and your use of DPs and lace. Very different from your usual style, but you did great and you've got some beautiful après hidden in your stash.
    And the postcard? So love this one. You know I love to travel and working with travels too, so this set would be ideal for cards for my colleagues.

  35. Oh Monika I promise I am not ignoring you.. I have had just enough energy to post my cards and then go to sleep. I did get your email and thank you for your kind words.. I also see from your post there are some spots for HOC! I will be vying for a spot.. The photo inspiration has given me so many ideas I need to whittle them down.. I will have a card up soon! I would love to be on your team!! Designing right along side of you would be AMAZING! Got to go and start creating.
