Since most people are able to post pictures in the regular Discussion Forum now, people rarely look at or need to use the Gallery. I think the Gallery was developed before people were using PhotoBucket (or similar). I'm not saying the Gallery is BAD! Just a bit outdated.

I know some of you don't visit the Texas Gallery often so this is to let you know there's a new post there with an invitation to tell us what's doing well in your garden right now.

Thanks guys! I just saw a thing a while back on Carol's show; making an evening gown box, & I decided to make a card; using a doily I had.

I haven't seen any stamping on Mulberry before. I knew I wanted the paper but tried to use a vellum on top and that didn't look right so I just tried it out. I was happy with how it turned out. The crinkled paper I got in package of Decorative papers by Black Ink from Michael's. I think there was only one sheet in the pack. I did have some other very nice gold papers which I used on some of the cards. I also got some gold tissue that has dull/shiny surface from the tissue area at Michael's. I cut it to the size I wanted and then crumpled it up into a tight ball in my hand and then spread it out flattening it. I used the same techniques on cards a couple of years ago.
