It's a triple with Dean Marks, Svenja Wahl and Diane Keys

Barcodes are human too! I wholeheartedly agree and love this card, the 3-D parts jump off the page and keep my eyes moving all around it. I keep picking it up for another go.. Thanks Dean :)))))))))

Then our friend from Heidelberg sends I Do Smell Roses...I do too and I think it may be coming from my mailbox! This is very cool, thanks Svenja :)…

Two sweet pieces from Janine :))))))

First this romantic man, looks adorable and feels great too!!!

Then these wonderful paperdolls. They are hard to appreciate from this scan but they are wonderfully creative. Not only do they stand on their own but each has an outfit sewn on them and if you look from the other side these little cuties look as if they are peeping over a white fence. Thank-you very much Janine. What a treat, these little guys greeted me after being out of town :))))))…
