Shirt gave this week's TSC. She threatened to make us use P I N K and Brown but saw the light and decided that we needed to use Blue & Brown, include a half circle and at least 2 squares. I think I got em all covered. My inspiration comes from the style of Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace blog. I've learned how to tie pretty bows and add a more elegant style to my designs. I am no way NEAR the talent this lady has but I do love reading her blog and learning from her tutorials. She seems a very giving person and takes time to share techniques, bargain finds and personal inspirations.

What, brown and blue. You know we were suppose to do pink and brown since you love pink so much. Ya know I would only do that for a special person. I love how you incorporated the lace doily. Becca Feeken is one of my very favorites and she definitely gives us inspiration.

Lordy, would you look at this fantasticly feminine card and not a SPECK of P**K!! You sure proved once and for all that we very well could do with less pink and more of some other lovely colors in our palettes! Love how you did not use the "entire" circle doily and that bow totally rocks with the pearls on it! GAwgus, Sistah, and very worthy indeed of your name!! hugs!!!

This is definitely lovely and I am so glad Shirley changed her mind from pink to blue - what would you have done? Love the doily and the pretty papers and that sweet bow. I will have to check out that blog.
