I've loved this image for quite a while. I thought it would go perfectly with the CHF motivational centres - Make Each Day a Masterpiece - a sentiment which I have placed inside the card. If you had any idea how much I fight with my hair every day - you'd understand!!!
However - I use a straightening iron, rather than culers like our lovely Lady here.
I had this idea that I was going to use a nice paler blue etc background paper- but put on your sun glasses. I also did not plan to do more is more- but then I could not decide which card I like best.
I think I like the more is more card!
Thanks for looking!!

In all my frustration at trying to figure out the likes or looks of you, I forgot to leave a comment! You're a wonderful artist, and one we rarely see. I totally understand: making cards and leaving comments can consume so much of our time. BUT, alas, you've created a sweet card here Deborah, and the inside insentiment is just perfect for your image. Wonderfully fabulous card, my dear sweet Deborah!

Hey Viking Deb! This is certainly done to perfection! This beautifully done image gave me a little giggle. The butterfly DP and flowers are perfect with it.
If I ever have an occasion when I have to have perfect make-up, I'm gonna get a passport and come up there and beg you to do it!
Pssst.... I hate to color! No patience!

I love the adorable kitty image and the pretty butterfly bg paper!!! Super cute card!! I can appreciate the time spent fighting with your hair. Mine is super curly and have been using the flat iron to make it tamer for the past year. It's a struggle, but worth the effort...at least on the days when the humidity doesn't win!!

Oh my gosh this is adorable. I have never seen this image. It is so sweet and perfect for your card. I love the way you colored it. I am so glad to see you back stamping. It has been awhile. Your background paper is perfect. I struggle with my hair too. It is frustrating. We are in the humid season here and it is a hair nightmare...LOL. Super job Deborah...

Deb, to create too master pieces in one day. Hats off to you my friend. I love them both. DH shares your pain with the hair thing. First part of our marriage was the pits with him trying to straighten his hair. Then, being a guy, he just went with it. Cut it real short, and it just curled beautifully. Even his mom asked him if he had gotten a perm or something. Now a days, he keeps it even shorter because it is just plain hot outside doing those pools you know. Sorry to carry on, love your card. Now I'm off to comment on the other one. TFS :0)

I love this card, the image, the coloring, and that sentiment. I'm laughing because of your hair comment. I do understand about the hair thing. People talk about a bad hair day, but I've had a bad hair life. (got it from my mother) My whole life revolves around hair. DH knows not to plan anything at the spur of the moment because of my hair. Maybe in the next life I'll have hair and no teeth....Yikes!!!
