Keepin' It Simple Sunday - Special Edition

I say "special" because, well, it IS. I sent off a request to an artist that I've admired for some time now, e-mailed her some of the cards that I had made with her work, and asked her permission to share them with you.

I'm humbled, honored, and tickled pink that she kindly said YES! {Dork Dancing} So, without further fanfare, my cards for Keepin It Simple Sunday featuring the artwork of the EXTREMELY talented Leanne Ellis....{applause}

"Complicated"

"Gifted"

"Pursuit of Happiness"

"Sincerely"

"Sincerely" (close-up)

"Time"

I'd like to say a BIG thank you to Leanne for so generously allowing me to use her beautiful artwork. I really had a great time putting these pieces together & will be doing more in the future {wink}. I hope you all agree that Keepin' It Simple doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice beauty.

Thanks for stopping by & have a great rest of your day!!
