Annette
Audrey
Stacy - You are HERE.

When you are finished hopping around to all the blogs head over to the Pinspired Blog to finish up.  But while you are here please check out the sympathy card I made using Sheena's A Little Bit Floral EZMount Stamp - Floral Corners.
.

 
I colored the stamped images with my Spectrum Noir markers - PP1, PP2, OR1, EB2, EB4, CG1, CG2, CT1 and then fussy cut them out. 
 
 

I'm obsessing over my new 6 x 6 Embossalicious embossing Folders so I pulled out the Lattice one and embossed the pink paper to add a little more texture to my card.   I am happy with the results and I hope you like it too.
 

Now it is time to go to Stephanie L.'s blog.  Thanks for hopping along today!  Have fun!

  17. mod files to acceptable videos by most media player
    including i - Phone, i - Pod, Apple TV, PSP, Zune,
    Blackberry, Creative Zen, etc with no quality loss.
    If you don't want to use the Apple remote there is another option. The speed of our broadband lines also remains unknown for the perfect enjoyment of movies in our tests with an average of clogged lines playback was smooth but the start time of the film was not at all constant, reaching even to few minutes.
