Tussie Mussie, Winner Announced...& Lots More...

My Mission of the Day:
To get this post up!!!

Well as you know I am very excited and will confess
I'm a wee bit nervous about My First Ever Swap.... 
So I decided to have a trial run of a Tussie Mussie..
And here it is.....

And A Close Up

I do think it looks better IRL 

But I haven't mastered this whole photo thing yet....

What do you think???

I know the Shabby "Pretty in Pink"
May not be my swap partner's style but
This one is just for me and my scrap room....
A little piece of Inspiration....
(Well I hope anyway....)

Now this got me thinking about today's post.. and
What Else to Post?????

I thought I would share some More Color Inspiration with you...
