  8. Nanne - This LO is amazing!!!!! where do I even start... you do such a fabulous job of shading and layering and finding all the goodies in each of the carts... I love seeing what you have found because you always make them look so much better than the little book that comes with the cart! It makes me want to use them!! Thanks!!

  12. What? Where the hell have I been? LOL!
    Ok this is sooo stinkin cool to see from the sketch to the feel thing!

    I agree that your ability to create real looking cuts because of chalking and inking is amazing! for example the treasure chest!

    Love the jewels and the signs, also the pink and green which I think is unexpected!

    Great j.o.b.!

  19. Your layouts and lists of supplies are the best of the best. I hate to ask for anything extra, but the size of cutouts would be so great. I do not mean to be an ungrateful fan. I spent 2 days getting sized right on the 2's Company 3's a Hoot. I love, love your work, you are a genius!!

    apologizes..
