Oh, my heart is just overflowing with all the beauty you have created in 2013, Gloria, you really have a special gift when it comes to paper art. I will not call it crafting...because your work rises far above that label. These pieces are lyrical...poetry in paper if you will. You have such a great eye for color and design and you combine patterns better than anyone in the field. You also know when to stop adding things to a piece. Each of these projects is embellished to the exact peak of perfection and not one bit below or beyond. It's very impressive. Thank you for all the hundreds and thousands of hours you've poured into creating art and then for sharing it with us...and then on top of that for writing such clear and concise tutorials. You truly are an amazing gal!

As I sat and stared at all the beauty I kept wondering two things: what paper trimmer do you use, and how do you get your matting so perfect each and every time! Is there a tool of some sort you use? Because never in a million years would I get even one card to look so good... And I am not talking about the creative process, just that my mats are never equal on all sides as yours are. (No use talking about the creative part, you are blessed with genius and I am not... Which us ok, I just wish I could make decent cards, LOL.) thank you for the inspiration Gloria and wishing you lots of health in the new year.Beatrice Lawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02898269929890235274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29074689.post-14322273937952409092014-01-02T13:04:53.393-08:002014-01-02T13:04:53.393-08:00Wow!

My fav of the year is the pencil box, but I'm always inspired by your cards. I wish I had a fraction of your talent. Thank you for sharing so open and honestly, it is much appreciated!
