I love your beautiful creation,

But thankyou for the possibility to win, dear Jill!

Hi Jill!
I love your blog and your work is super imaginative! Paperwhimsy images are enchanting and so fun to work with. I would love to win some.

Your linked blogs look inviting too, I'll be busy for awhile longer!

Thank you for the tutorial. I have a chance to get either Elements or Photoshop Cs but I'm not sure if one or both will be overwhelming for me.
