Happy, happy, drizzly, rainy, beautiful, puffy-clouded Sunday...I LOVE rainy days....it makes me feel like throwing all of the windows open and letting out the musty days of winter.
I just finished my Dawn inspired card...too late to take a good picture of it, so tomorrow I'll share it with you. Thanks so much Dawn for sharing your creativity with us...she has oodles of beautiful things on her blog right now to inspire you.
Today....I get to share another of my most favorite artists with you...I accidentally ran across her blog yesterday morning and was so happy to have found her....I have admired her work for years and I know you will too....my new friend, Mary Macaskill and her adorable blog, Very Mary! Be sure to send a little "hi" Mary's way and be prepared to be inspired. THIS is the card that made me gasp out loud.....I can't wait to create something using either those brilliant and stark colors, the simple design, or just look at how those clear buttons add the perfect finishing touch...not to mention the scallops and pom pommies...she's adorable, don't you think? I can't wait to make a Mary card. Thanks for letting us take a peek Mary :) Be sure to link me when you have your card done...you know how much I love your creations!
So...today I finally get to begin showing you my Pink Paislee projects for CHA...I don' t know what to start with as I just love each of these new collections...
More tomorrow.
Tonight I'll leave you with s'more French Twist from Melissa Frances and a GIVEAWAY on the Melissa Frances blog....can't miss this one :)
It's been a wonderful Sunday....I feel so happy and full of gratitude. Now it's time for popcorn and a movie with my little fam.
Have a wonderful night.
Melis
Those flowers are so beautiful. You are always so inspiring!

Your cards just make me swoon! These are all so very sweet but the one that melts my heart is the LAUGH card with the little popped-up paper dolly.
