Oh and some exciting news for me…I am so excited… Dru from Cri-Kits has asked me to send her some of my cards using the Cri-Kits pens for them to show off at the CHA Show in Chicago!… What an honor is that!!… if you are there please stop by and tell them I said hi!

I love sharing the instructions and files for my cards but I do ask that if you use my instructions or files to recreate my card and place it on your blog or somebody else’s blog that you give me the credit for the original design. I also ask that you do not submit my designs for publication, profit or for any contest. Thank you!

Congratulaions on getting your cards shown at CHA!!! That is HUGE! You will not believe that I have had the OUAP cart since it came out and I never knew that the tag features were layered! I just thought they were two seperate tags!! Thank you so much, I can't wait to go play with these tags all over again! This is another wonderful card, hope your step-mom loves it!

Hello Jeannie,
Congratulations on the honor of having your cards shown at CHA! That is such wonderful news. You are doing such a beautiful job using this pens as a part of your creations. I have Once upon a princess but haven't had the chance to use it yet but now I will look for this wonderful tags =)

Also I love how you have the butterfly stamp! It's so great because now with these pens you can personalize stamps =) hahaha and you could make a little one for the enclosure of your envelope too...I guess similar to the sticker feature in Just Because Cards.

I am sure that your step-mom will love this card. Great job!
