    I like the way you cut out around the flowers. I'll have to remember that one.

    I have seen borders done with cut out flowers, but your placement in the upper right corner of your card is truly creative. It looks just great with the kraft showing and the sentiment. It certainly creates a perfect eye-directing focal point. Your second card is so sweet and reminds me of where I am now--the mountains of NC. Canning jars are the perfect decorating element in our area. These sets are truly amazing and make me itchy to get crafting!

    Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your talent!
