Lee Ann Barrett

Lee Ann's sweet little pair floating with their red heart-shaped balloons through the clouds instantly made me smile.

Janet's subtle colors are just perfect for a sympathy card.  Although the card is clean and simple, there is so much interest in the texture of the die-cut, the popped up sentiment, the splatters and the wonderful use of Washi tape.  This is a gorgeous card.   Congratulations, Janet.  You are my HEADLINER this week.

We hope you will join us again tomorrow for Joanne's fabulous THEME challenge.
