Naomi, you are the best! Thank for all your support, especially your comment on my "Leafy" wedding invite. That one has been a real reach for me and probably took me about ten times longer to design than it should have! There are so many seasoned talented artists in the wedding challenge so I am way out designed in this one but am learning so much so decided to participate anyway.. Thanks again! :)

Thank you again for checking back on my baby announcements & for your feedback. I"ll try more layouts,trust me I lack terribly in technical skills & try to run away from textures & all these treatments.Nonetheless I was very proud of myself when I successfully tackled the foil treatment,so in a way I'm taking baby steps towards my technical deficiencies,haha,but thank you as always! :)
