 Congratulations Fhiona!!  Please email with your choice of templates and whether you would like in PDF or SVG format and I will send it off to you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In addition to sharing the winner with you, I also have 2 cards to share with you.

I am so excited to share with you my first card that I created for the Whoopsi Daisy challenge as a dt member using one of Linnie's gorgeous images!!  Linnie is such a talented artist and has so many gorgeous images to choose from.  The team also is so talented and sweet and I am honored to join them.

This week's challenge is hosted by Linnie this week.  She has challenged us all to "Pretty in Pink".

When I saw Linnie's challenge to use pink..I thought I was in heaven.  An excuse to use pink,are you kidding!! When I first saw this image, I thought of a girl taking a walk in spring.  After choosing my papers and coloring in a few shades of pink with the black hair, I knew I needed something different.  So scrub a third image and here is my paper paced girl taking an afternoon stroll on a warm summer day.

This card was so refreshing to color and create making me feel like it was spring although we are really in the midst of winter with lots of snow and ice.  One can dream right?


The flowers and the blinged stems are from Wild Orchids.  The ribbon is May Arts Silk. The paper is Basic Grey Eva except for the grey piece which I can't identify (from my scraps)  The punch I used is from Martha Stewart.

I hope you are able to join the challenge.  If so, you can link your creation here.

************************************
 My second creation uses the new Kenny K images in rubber from Whimsy.  Did you know that now you can not only buy them at Whimsy but also through other stores through out the world, including Stamp and Create!! They are such fun and sassy images, perfect for teenagers.  For my creation today, I used the Kenny K Troublemaker image.  The sentiment is from Whimsy's RainDrop Echo designs digital sentiments and it is called Fast lane Sentiments.  While they coordinate beautifully with the Kenny K images, they are perfect for any creation with a "fun girl" theme.

card recipe:
stamps: rubber- Kenny K Troublemaker image
             digital sentiment: Whimsy's RainDrop Echo designs  Fast lane Sentiments
paper: My Mind's Eye Tickled pink, dp from my scrap bin, black and white card stock
accessories: lace, Wild Orchid Flowers, MS Shell border punch, May Arts Crinkled pink ribbon
