I made a shabby chic collage card which is a bit out of my norm with this beautiful new set.


I used papers from Echo Park Yours Truly and painted the edges with picket fence crackle paint to create the shabby chic look.

 Diane Zechman brings us TWO fun and quirky sets this month.  They are sure to make your friends smile AND giggle with delight!

I have a card today to share with you that I made for a friend's mother using Sassy Cindy and the speech bubble dies.  She loved it and it totally fit her personality!


I colored the image with copics (boy it has been awhile since I pulled them out) and used some patterned paper from Stampin Up.

Here is a peek at the inside:
