This is a memento of my recent trip to Heidelberg, Germany. I bought this book of heavy post cards to color and some markers to use while there on vacation. I visited the Heidelberg Zoo two times and was really captivated by the flamingos, so this will go in my scrapbook. They were so beautiful and a few of them swam right up to me, they looked like coral swans. Hello, gorgeous!

Wow...what a pop of gorgeous color. The black bg looks fantastic with the bright colors. Those stamp with the matching die cuts never work for me. I would have amputated either the neck or legs of the flamingo.

This is far from clean and simple. It is absolutely gorgeous. Wonderfully done! A real knockout.

I have made hundreds of cards and so many people say it has brought joy to their lives which, in turn, brings joy to my life. Almost everyone I give them to says that they always save me, which I consider a huge compliment.
