  5. I am not a big fan of the corner punch but this is lovely. I looks like it might match a border punch that I have from EK success. You just may have inspired me to rethink the corner punch issue!!

  9. You just reminded me in your comment WHY I don't have any light carpets in the house. Or light clothing. Lately I'm even buying bedclothes in light capuccino!! lol
    I LOVE your card. First - yellow is one of my current favorites and second - your colouring is just fabulous! That image seriously intimidated me when I got it - no idea how to work with it! :( You have done such a fabulous job!!
    Hugs
