    Honestly, I am new to your site and would find it very difficult to choose just one favorite card. Your coloring is superb, your designs are delightful, and your range of styles is broad. I had to subscribe!
    Happy New Year!

    Oh my gosh, your backgrounds are to die for! Your waffle flower card with the yellow and red flowers really caught my eye. I love how it is juxtaposed against the dark, wonderful background.

    Oh my, Jessica. Your cards (and photos of cards) are AMAZING. Your art inspires, uplifts and blesses its viewers (and recipients, I’m sure). Thanks for participating in this generous event.
