Wishes & Dreams~


When I first saw these images in the new set, Wishes & Dreams, by Alicia Krupsky for GinaK Designs I thought they were so cute and the sentiments so perfect for young girls, teens, and all young at heart women. The images are not like anything I've ever owned or stamped before, so I was a little intimidated at first. A bit of googling for Manga style coloring advice and I was set, they were very fun to color! Morgan gave them 2 thumbs up. :)
Both cards measure 5" x 5" finished.

Speaking of colors, you can see two of Gina's newest Pure Luxury card stocks in the bottom card:Innocent Pink and Passionate Pink. In addition, you can see just one of the 5 new ribbons in the Romance Ribbon assortment - the pink stitched ribbon.

Wishes & Dreams is just one set previewing tonight, the others are
Happy Hearts and Sung from the Heart.

Hi Val,

What beautiful cards!

How lucky are you to live in San Diego?! :) I grew up in San Carlos & Rancho Bernardo (my parents & sisters are still there).

I was hoping to get some input from you regarding scoring tools. If you had time, I would love to talk via email or my cell phone. If you're willing, please email me at partridgelu@yahoo.com.

Thank you so much,

Jennifer
