The colors of both cards are so festive and I just adore how you add sparkles to each of your cards. So much time and love have been put into these!

I've been 'stalking' your blog for awhile now and see you on MANY of my friends blogs so I thought I'd take a step forward and say hi and tell you how much I LOVE your work! Each of your cards are just mind boggling gorgeous! So detailed and a vision of loveliness - breathtaking artistry :) I'm also in Florida - much further south (Miami!) but still have family near Ocala and Tallahassee!

Such gorgeous sparkly and glittery creations! The first one couldn't be more elegant, love the color combo of silver and blue, stylish and wintery and classy. Very surprised to see how Christmasy the pink one looks too. Never my first choice of color, especially for Christmas cards, but wow you did make it work! I tend to use red on my Christmas cards but planning to use more non traditional colors for a change. A great trick to avoid my cards looking too similar year after year...<br />I'm now looking forward to summer holiday. Going away two weeks from mid June and things will be hectic before that. So I might be a bit late visiting until July but I'll be around:)Pia Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17060684063741385838noreply@blogger.com
