  3. My, you have been a busy girl this week, haven't you?! But I'd never get tired of looking at your work, so it's OK by me if you want to keep the two posts a day thing going! Love this invitation idea. I think I may try something similar next time we have a party. Thanks for all the great inspiration!

  10. Me browsing the thumbnails on Embellish "Wow, that one looks cool". Click. "Wow! That is graphically amazing. The layout. Look how perfectly balanced the colors are. Ohhh...I want that patterned paper. Wait, that's not paper...that's Woodgrain Silhouettes!" LMAO

    This is absolutely stunning!

    Hope it's ok if I highlight it on the Wplus9 Facebook page. www.facebook.com/wplus9
