I was visiting blogs yesterday morning when a card by LeAnne Pugliese at Wee Inklings stopped me in my tracks! She actually posted two gorgeous cards (go on, click on the link; you've got to see them!) but the one that caught my eye was the embossed white one. I had to stop right away and make my own version of her stunning card. My image was already stamped (flower from Stampin' Up; sentiment from Gina K. Designs) so all I had to do was add the sentiment, the shiny flower center, and mats. Embossed my white panel, cut into thirds, adhered it all together and I was done!
I'll be entering this card into the challenge at Fab N Funky -- Emboss It!
Next, I'd like to share a link to an article that I wrote for an on-line magazine called ChapalaClub.com. Sid Grovsener is a retired Dallas, Texas police officer who has lived in Chapala for many years and enjoys sharing his love of this fantastic place with others. My article is about one of our favorite restaurants and I hope you'll enjoy it; if any of my sweet friends ever decide to visit my area, we'll air out the spare bedroom and take you to Rey Taco first thing!!

Adios for now,
