Yay it's the weekend and time to chill. So I've got a really quick card project for you. The cute zebra image is one of three in the Zany Zebras Stamp Set.

Today I Succumbed To Magenta Madness
It's dull and dreary here today and it may be next week before we see any sun. Is it any wonder that I retreat to my studio to add colour to my world.

Zany Zebras Gallop In

ZEBRAS ARE BLACK AND WHITE I know it's a bit predictable but I really wanted my first Zany Zebras project to feature a traditional black and white zebra. I'll have plenty of time to play with other colours, so today I ... VIEW POST
