Linda's Layering Frames - Greece - Windmills of Mykonos

Hi everyone, 

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know! 

The card I'm sharing with you today is the last in my 4 part series featuring Linda Williams' Greece set from her Layering Frames collection.  It's hard to believe that after several months, this is the last in my 24 card series featuring the 24 main plates in Linda's collection... BUT there is one more plate in the collection that she surprised us with, so you'll see that soon, too.

Before we get to the card, I want to let you know what will happen for the next couple weeks.  Here on my blog, we'll be catching up with the designs I created for the recent Virtual Retreat in my Facebook group.  Meanwhile, on my YouTube channel, there will be a couple of stand alone videos that I'd had requests for.  Those videos WON'T be blogged, so if you've not yet subscribed to the channel and turned on notifications, please do, either via the sidebar or by clicking the video below to watch it on YouTube.  Then, at the end of July, a brand new mega series will sync on both the channel and blog!

Here's a recap of my Celtic designs...
