Oh my - I'm blushing! YOU are the sweetheart for the shout-out - thank you! - and how marvelously serendipitous that you 'happened' to have a card in the posting queue when I decided to write a *hello, are you there* wave! Connections in this crafting community are simply amazing! LOVE x LOVE this cheerful, bright, graphic, triangle+circles gem of yours! The sentiment is perfect: it makes me feel all tingly and happy inside! Such gifts shared here: you, your post, your cards! Hugs~c

Marlena great job with the MIM technique, not sure if I will do it this week, but I really want to. Maybe you are motivating me to do it. Thanks.
