I am submitting my Jerusalem design to the challenge at Frilly and Funkie (destinations) , and linking to the blog hops at Paint Party Friday, Art Journal Every Day, and June's Colorful Gelli Party. Thanks to Eva, Kristen, Julie and Carolyn for providing such fun places to see beautiful art! Thank you for visiting! I read and treasure every comment and will answer any questions as quickly as I can.
