  1. Hi from PA ---

    Dear Michelle -
    I love these! The Build-a-Garden one is a "10" for sure! I also love the one w/ the houses is brilliant. The larkspur is super-pretty and the first card w/ the aqua flowers is lovely.

    I think the link from Altenew's site to yours is broken. I came here the old-fashioned way by just coming to your blog myself... but if people are not already followers (how would they not be?) then they may not get here. The fact that there are zero comments before mine bears this out.

    Happy birthday to Altenew!

  28. Hi Michelle, joining in from the Chicago area. First, just an FYI there is something wrong with your link on the Altenew home page for the hop. When I clicked on it (tried several times), it brought me to my Gmail account. I did it 4 times and finally just went directly to your own page from a fresh window to get here.

    Now onto your cards. GORGEOUS!!! I kept saying to myself how beautiful they were and then when I got to the Layering Larkspur card...my mouth dropped. Talk about striking! It's absolutely perfect!!! Thanks for the inspiration!

  43. Hi Michelle - Joining the hop from the Chicago area. I tried posting my comment last night but it's not populating. I wanted to first let you know that when you try to enter a comment here on your blog directly from the Altenew hop home page, it opens up Google Mail instead. Tried a few times and it's very weird.

    Your cards are terrific. The Larkspur Layering card.....SPECTACULAR! Those colors are amazing on the black cardstock. Truly beautiful!
