Hello and thank you for visiting my blog.  A lot of you have left me some really great comments and well wishes and I so appreciate it!  I’m feeling the love, lol. 

Seriously,  I’ve received a lot of requests for more tutorials, so my plan is to put a new tutorial on this blog each weekend, hopefully Saturday mornings, schedule permitting.  So be sure to check back often and please leave me feed back on tutorials you would like to see.

But for today. . . . . .

This card was created for the February 2008 Dirty Girl challenge.  Every month on the 20th the new and old Dirty Dozen girls (Splitcoaststampers.com Design Team) do a challenge.

This month we were to use a stamp that was designed by a Dirty Girl, past or present.

I used Mona Lisa (Lisa Stahl) designed Cracked Montana Earth Background Stamp.  It can be purchased at    www.cornisheritagefarms.

I combined it with Stampin’ Up All the Best and Season by Season.
The theme was Spring time colors.

Cracked Montana Earth was the only stamp I had on hand to work with on this challenge so I really had to put my thinking cap on.
