First off I would like to show you the card I made with Life gives you lemons from Robert Jackson.  I just loooove his digis.  I'm awful at doing African American's skin color, but his images look perfect with white skin as well... so I'm really lucky.  Here's my card: I really wanted to give this wonderful image a fresh look and I think I have succeeded with this paper from K&Cie called lemon.  I really think it's perfect.  I also used a ribbon from Bobunny Alora Collection that I purchased at Ribbon Ca

This week I decided to do 2 cards.  The 1st one is from Floppy Latte Design and is called Ship V.  It can be found at Stitchy bears Digital stamps. I decided to go for a monochromatic look for this card.  I thought it would look like a masculine card!  I don't  make a lot of those...  I used papers that I had in my stash and added a button and some twine. My 2nd card is made with an image from Robert Jackson called a hard day's work.  It's definetely fitting for 2 reasons.  The 1st one because I did a lot of shopping while in the states... and the 2nd because today I'm going back to work :( For this card I used some paper from K& Cie and used some pearls from the dollar store.  The sentiment is

The image was colored with my copics and then I added some Pebbles- Classic Chalks Earth tones.  I thought the white was too harsh otherw
