Happy Thursday Everyone!! I hope you are all having a great week. Mine is going well....just super busy!! I am expecting several guests to spend the weekend with us and I am very busy preparing for them.
Anywho...today is the Divine Diva Inspiration Challenge! Lori sent the team this photo to be inspired by:When I saw the photo I was inspired by the pillows and colors. I thought right away of the Wags n Whiskers Bedtime Story image and the BG Wisteria paper. I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday. My image is water colored. The tag is created with the Ticket sentiments designed by Ann Vento for Whimsy stamps. On my image I used opal and pearlz pearl shimmerz which is now available at Stamp and Create for 25% off this week (all kinds and colors)!! You can see it best on the outline of my image panel.

Next...is a box I created. This box is a new release template created by Lee Ann Baird for Perfect Presentations called the Uptown Take Out Box (it is available in PDf and SVG format). The image is from Our Daily Bread Designs From Me to You. The sentiment is from the Our Daily Bread Designs Friendship set. The maple leaf is part of a RAK I got from my friend America. Again the dp is Basic Grey Wisteria. On my box I used ZVA creative pearls now on sale for 15 % off at Our Daily bread Designs. I also used shimmerz on my image (lavender).
