Sending some LUV to my OCS partner . . . Joy!

***Before I begin my post, I just want you to know that I've added a lot of links to some very talented ladies.  Please click on the links and check out their blogs! 



Hey all!  I'm pretty sure Joy got her package today in the mail so I think I'll post this.  I'm off to go to the final dress fitting.  Don't you remember the gazillion white satin bows I talked about in previous posts?  Well, next weekend is the wedding so posting during that time will be out of the question.  So, here we go . . . I  am again participating in an OCS swap that Teri puts together.  My partner for this month is Joy over at A Place To Be Me.   She sent me the sexy Lady Rose Dragon in a Shaker Picture Frame.



Here's my card for Joy.  I used this cute little girl from my Hero Arts stamp set.   Do you see that paper flower?  I had to try my hand at making these paper flowers.  Donna, over at three umbrellas, posted her flowers that she made and I knew I had to at least try my hand at making them.  Boy was it fun!  I couldn't stop for the life of me!  Here's where she got the tutorial, Raspberry Suite designs by Dawn McVey, click {HERE}.   Now do you remember this?  I made this Kleenex Package Holder at Denise's.  Some of you were asking for the tutorial so here it is:  Click {HERE} for the instructions written by Maria Bell.



Well, since this project was stuck in my mind, I decided to change it up alittle and create a larger version and made 2 side drawers with pulls for this.  Here's how it came out.





I do hope Joy likes this.  She gets a 2 for 1-er!  U R special Joy and I'm glad we finally "really" know each other!  Hee, hee!  :)  Glad to have been your partner this month and a HUGE thanks again for the Lady Rose Dragon that's sitting on my work station!
