Hello!
DH is at a Cardinal's baseball game today, so I have some 'me' time.
Thought I'd drag out the Copics and color a bit!
I saw a challenge for a monochromatic project yesterday, while
perusing Facebook, and decided to give it a try. It's a Bestie's
Challenge, and you can find it HERE. Then I went to Etsy, and found this Sherri Baldy 'Messy Bessy' image HERE. Just had to 'adopt' her....lol.
Once she was all finished, and I was ready to assembe the card, I realized that it was not all going to fit. Hmmm......what to do, what to do? Read on!
I simply took my craft knife and 'raised' up her bow! It not only gave
the card a bit of a 3-dimensional touch, it let the pieces all fit
together beautifully!
Mistakes = creative opportunities, right?
My first box of Scrap Town Lady goodies arrived yesterday,
and OH MY, OH MY, what beautiful papers it contained! This pad is
'Renew' from Authentique and you can purchase it HERE. When making my card, I couldn't figure out what
sentiment to use on this sweetie. With the ladybug, I felt it should
be a bit nature-ish, but nothing was jumping out at me. I turned over the pad
of 'Renew', and VOILA! On the back cover, was this perfect sentiment, frame
and all. I only had to cut it out and mount it. Pretty cool, don't
you think?
Hope you are having a great week, and...
that the weekend brings you oodles of crafty time!
Thanks for dropping by today,
Hugs...

Very creative. Love that cute image. You coloured her so well. Going to see Jillian Michael's tonight with my son. Thought I could use the inspiration to lose my last 10 lbs. You prob know she's from The Biggest Loser. Good luck on your journey.
