    Hi Michelle. It’s been a while since I have left a comment, but I am still following and enjoying your work. I have noticed a subtle change to your work over the last several weeks. Can’t put a finger on it but your cards just seem a bit different — same beautiful quality of work, just something different. Still loving it like always. This one is just gorgeous with the color gradient you have chosen and then the simple sailboat. Striking!

    This card turned out amazing and yet so simple. What a great card for Father’s Day or for the guys birthday or thank you card. I sure wish my mind worked like yours does. I don’t have the creative mind like you do. Thanks for sharing!

    Oh Michelle, this is gorgous! I love the colors. I don’t have a sail boat stamp or the label nestables, but I am going to try and think of some way to use these colors.

    WOW! What a great scene and you make it look so easy. I do not have all the colors you used so I’m off to try out a different combination. Been out of commission for a while but feeling better and I feel my creativity waking up! Thanks Michelle for sharing your talents I hope you know how much they are appreciated! Happy Easter.

    Dear Michelle,
    What an inspiration you are. Gifted from above by the Almighty is what you are. I have been learning from your tutes for about a month and am a far better stamper because of you. I humbly thankyou for your generousity and blessing. I love to sail and this I love in its simplicity and elegance. Many thanks from Australia!
