My generous friend, Shannan, is having a birthday four days after mine so I had to quickly whip up a card for her and get it in the mail. Shannan is another former co-worker of mine from 2006 when we worked in business development for a Big Four audit firm. We quickly became friends based on our shared love of animals, concern for the environment, expensive drinks at Wine Bar, and the fact that we're both makeup artists in a past life.
For Shannan's card, I basically had two choices: animals or fashion. I couldn't decide whether Shannan loves her five ferrets more than her thousand dollar Christian Louboutin shoes. :Þ So I decided to use one of the adorable prints Meg sent me last week. This sweetie named Annie is pretty fashionable and was so much fun to colour! I'd never used a label in this way and I love the way it looks. I popped the notebook page as well as the image and I couldn't help but add baker's twine. I hadn't used the Cappuccino colour yet and it was perfect for this card.

I haven't been able to get into Splitcoaststampers for at least three days now. Is anyone else having this problem???

if you have a minute have a look, I love her art the detail and imagination are impressive. I'm probably preaching to the converted but you may not know of her work and it might not be to your taste.
I've had no problem with Splitcoast but I'm a newbie there!:0) xx
More gorgeous coloring! I'm sure if I could see the soles of Annie's shoes, they'd be Louboutin red :)
Oh, and I got my first Twinery order the other day -- all your twiney projects sold me!!
