First... a few housekeeping items!
Over a week ago I directed you to the blog of my friend Joan Fricker and asked for prayers for her cousin Mel, who was suffering from the effects of a brain aneurysm that was discovered just days after she gave birth to her third child. Well, it would appear that God is working a miracle in the life of this young woman, as there are some encouraging signs in her recovery! Please visit Joan's blog for a recent update, and continue to keep Mel in your prayers!
AND, my wonderful friend Barbara Anders is in the FINAL FOUR of the Stamping Idol contest being sponsored by My Favorite Things! I want to see her go all the way to the top! Be sure to take time today to check out her awesome contest submission for this week here, and stop by this forum to cast your vote for her!
NOW, on to the Throwdown! Danielle is our hostess this week, and she picked this fun color combo for you to try! I had a GREAT time with it, coloring this sweet little Whipper Snapper image that I picked up at the recent Adventures in Stamping Convention in Akron!
Isn't Sofia a cutie with her kitty in the wagon? She's bringing a pot of flowers to her Mommy for Mother's Day, I think!
Stop by the Throwdown blog for all the challenge details, and see what the other Throwdown girls have created by visiting their blogs!

Tammy, Your card is adorable! Great colors and your coloring on your stamped image is just perfect. Great job!
Thanks so much for the prayers for Melanie. We are pleased with the small stepping stones that God has so
graciously let us see. We still need a big miracle, but we know that our Lord is in control and we are patient for His timing.
thanks again
Joan
