Beautiful DT inspirations! Congrats to Pat J and to me! I just emailed, thanks so much! XOX, Aimeslee

So soft and lovely! Thanks for linking this up at Beautiful Blossoms Challenge. Aimeslee DT

Hello Sue, this is one stunning card! And your tutorial is much appreciated. I've Pinned it. Just one thing though, I literally scoffed at the thought of gluing those die cut layers being EASY? Ha! I'm 64 years old and that's by far the hardest part! Do you have any tips at all for making it easy? And what adhesive do you use - spray? Xyron? Craft glue? Would be much appreciated! I admit, thinking about laying down that top gold layer after all of that glitter gluing gives me anxiety, lol. At any rate, you are well-skilled at it! XOXOX

Stef just had to come over and comment, that is one awesome card - haha you might drive someone to drink giving them that! Perfectly arranged and color-coordinated! Love it! XOXO

Hi Cindy. Thank you for visiting my blog. Your piece is very sweet. I am intrigued by the origins of these nursery rhymes. Read a book once, arguing they were all political and derogatory. I tend not to believe that's the case for all of them, although most of these rhymes are not what they'd be today. My Mary Mary one has some wild back stories that seem a bit over the top. That House of Tudor generates a lot of the stories. Anyway, if I remember correctly, yours also about that time, Elizabeth I is the queen in it. If I am remembering correctly, lol. xoxo, Aimeslee

Love what you did with it! I am right now collaging with text pages from Mary Higgins Clark's Loves Music, Loves to Dance. And I read every word of that book first, haha! It was good! xoxoxo

LOL, hmm, after midnite, eh? Love it. Splendid hosting, theme and sample this week, xoxo

So appropriate for this week, love it, Cindy, xoxo

It's Vitt-a-men Sea-Man saluting! Hahaha Love it, and grapefruit is my favorite, xoxoxo

What serendipity as concerns the stamp. Lovely card. xoxo

Welcome and thanks for keeping the techniques alive. Great cards all! xoxo

Those beads were perfect for this pretty card, Robin. Now, I am wanting to eat crab legs, lol. xoxo

Hi Robin! I now think my fave stamp is the Jazz Singer, because I bought the Mosaic Scallops last night but not the Singer. And your card is so awesome pairing them up together! Darnit! That's what I get for having been sick and not hopping before ordering, sigh! Anyway, great card and I love the way you colored her! xoxo

Wow, all the dies look great but you have outdone yourself on that tree. I can almost see it growing. ;-) xoxo

Wow, you are the block diemeister! What a great idea to just color with markers. Tried to do this once highlighting words on one and it turned out fine, but coloring the whole thing would have been easier and prettier. xoxo

Ouch, don't you hate when that happens!!! Been there myself, but hey, sure I'll enter a comment for those dies, love all MFT dies. And you've showcased what nice dies they are on your pretty springy card. Does the card come with? Hahaha - okay I have to make my own. xoxo

Lovely card, Robin! xoxo

Love it!! A very merry Christmas to y'all! xoxo, Aimeslee

Beautiful spread, Michelle! I do believe in card making that pattern is a variation of Bargello Weave so... Bargello Art Journaling! (Knew it had to be Italian Renaissance, haha). xoxo

Great Christmas-themed card! xoxo

I thought I would add the YouTube video link here. I'm guessing that you meant to embed or link or whatever the video in that last photo above. I click on it and it's just a photo. Have to confess, I was somewhat disappointed - no video???? LOLOL ;-) I went over to your YT channel just in case and found a pleasant surprise! So, here is the link for anyone needing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpz8Fo2PBZk Off to watch! Thanks again for creating the series! xoxo, Aimeslee

Sounds good, looking forward to participating. xoxo, Aimeslee

Thanks for the inspiration, Michelle! Love me some songwriters, just added 2 lyric books to my ToDo's - Willie Nelson and Neil Young. Of course, I'll have to play their music while creating, right? LOL What a great way to transport back in time for all us old Hippy Boomers! xoxo, Aimeslee

I will keep you in my prayers. So sorry this had to happen, xoxo
