    Hi Stacey! Your new blog looks well organize and I love the colors of the tabs. The card you guys made is very pretty and I would love to try out Poppin' Pastels technique but before I do that I need to get me some Pastels. It looks fun using different colors and blending it together. How exciting I can't wait to check out your first curtain call challenge!

    Hi Stacey,
    I copied the code and added it to my sidebar but it doesn't show up as a badge/button on Wordpress. The link does work though just looks weird. blog addresss is http://jlfstudio.wordpress.com

    Other than that I love the new design. The in color theme is great and the stage setting is a bit of joyful sophisticated fun!

    Hugs - Jean
