Wish for Ellen Degeneres

Ellen is so inspiring and fun, and I really do think that we need more people like her! I would love to send her this card to tell her so. But I will have to settle for sharing it here virtually.

This card was one of the make-n-take projects at the OnStage event I attended last April. I was able to meet up with several of my far-flung stamping buddies and visit with another friend that moved further south to escape the VT winters. Right now we are in the deep grip of cold, and it is easy to wistfully consider the possibilities of living in warmer climes. And then I think about July and August and I remember why VT isn’t really that bad. Back to the card… it was nice to have a few quiet moments at the event to color these pretty birds. And, these pretty papers really do give the card a lot of brightness, too.
