ReplyDeleteMarie your card is just beautiful and your talent amazing ... I love your tips on each post
ReplyDeleteBig hugs
YEAH Brunettes rock! LOL (Even if mine comes in a box to hide the "blonde" that's peeking out..hahahaha) Another stunner, Marie. I'm going to have to get another job to afford those markers, but every post you make breaks me down even more to getting enrolled in those classes. I'm sure my 16 year old, who wants a car, would understand the necessity of Mom having copics instead, if I showed him your gallery of masterpieces. LOL :)
