Please hop on over to Betsy's blog when you have a minute and check out her beautiful creations ... simply gorgeous!

    Just posted my card! Congratulations again on the blog, and thanks for the challenges and inspiration from the DT! I apologize for not linking directly to my project...I thought that may come in a later step of the linking process (still new at this) but I will know better next time. It should be my only post this week. Looks like you're getting plenty of other excited takers!!
