Hi everyone! This is a special post for me... it is my first post done entirely using my new iMac! Yes, I made the leap from Windows to Mac on January 1st, and I am LOVING it!! But I will admit that there's definitely a learning curve. In any case, I uploaded, modified, and am now posting this picture without having to "borrow" my old Windows laptop!
This is a card I sat down and made the other day - and I like it so much that I'm now experimenting with other color combinations.
This fun card uses one of the new upcoming stamp sets called Petal Pizzazz... I just LOVE the simple look - and there's a lot of different flowers to choose from. You'll have to watch for it when the new catalog comes out next week! The sentiment comes from the Hostess Level I set called Best Yet... I typically don't hang on to retiring sets, but this particular one will *not* be leaving my stamp room! I absolutely love it... if you don't have it, you may want to take advantage of the current sale and get it while you still can! Only other note to make on this card is that I cut both of the flowers out so I could place them exactly where I wanted to, and the top one is adhered with Dimensionals to give it an extra lift.
I hope you all had a terrific week... it's beautiful and sunny here in Dallas, so I'm going to go outside and play. :)

Hi Michelle!
Love your card - the colours look beautiful together!
How did you put the border around your photo - did you use photoshop - maybe a layers feature?
It looks very professional!

STUNNING! I forgot how much I love this color combo. So bold. So fabulous!
This is georgeous as usual Michelle! I love your choice of colors, and can't wait to get my hands on this set. I agree with you some sets whether retired or not, are worth keeping.
