Today my daughters and I attended my sister-in-law's baby shower. She has 4 weeks to go before she meets her new baby boy :). I have been waiting for over a month to give her this keepsake that I made for her. Now that I have, I can finally share it with you all, as well (warning: this post is picture heavy lol).</div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
First, the card.</div>

I used pale yellow and pale grey - the colors she has chosen for the baby's nursery. I used 'Sleepy Fairy' from Mo's Digital pencil. I LOVE this image. It is just so sweet. I colored it with Copics and layered him.</div>

And now the keepsake. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have seen things like this online for quite some time and I just love them. I was thrilled to finally have a reason to attempt to make one. I searched the internet for patterns and I did find a few different types. In the end, I decided to use the crib that was in the Silhouette market and make the display box myself. It took a few attempts to get it the way I wanted. </div>

I couldn't just put the crib in the box, the way I had originally intended. I decided it needed a window. After the window, I decided it needed a wall decoration. I wanted to put his name on it somehow, somewhere. I thought about putting it on the crib. Then I thought the outside of the box would be better. In the end, the wall plaque seemed like the best place to incorporate it.</div>

I planned on just sculpting a little baby's head and putting it on a simple ball of flesh colored clay since the baby was going to be wrapped in a blanket. My daughter Jordan kept telling me I wouldn't be able to do it. Of course she was right (she knows me well). Here is the baby, arms, legs and belly button present:</div>

I know I have been quiet for awhile. I still have been in that creative rut for the most part, but what I have created I have not been able to post until I could give it to the recipients. And here is one of them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I made this card for my wonderful friend Lea and her hubby, who live across the pond, for their anniversary. It was a bit late getting to her - sorry Lea lol!</div>

I used 'Hand Holding Kody and Mae' from Some Odd Girl, which I colored with Copics. The flowers are from Wild Orchid. I used my Silhouette for some of the embellishments and the easel and some are Spellbinders. (I still am terrible at remembering the names of everything I use. I don't know how you all remember everything!!)</div>

<div align="center">
I hope this finds everyone well and crafting away! Yesterday was Matthew - my oldest baby's 23rd birthday.</div>
<div align="center">
23!! I just can't believe that he is already 23 years old. Time is just flying right by me. Matthew loves to fish. He spends all of his free time with a pole in his hand. So what better image to use than Edwin with a fishing pole? I can't remember the proper name of this stamp (I have always been bad about keeping packages). <br />

Good morning friends!</div>

<div align="center">
Today I want to share a birthday card I made for my daughter's friend. </div>
<div align="center">
This is one of those times coloring for fun pays off. My girls like to wait until the very last minute to tell me they have birthday parties to go to. From what Jordan tells me, her friends all look forward to her birthday cards. So no pressure right? lol. I have almost depleted my stock of finished cards so I think it's time to get back on the ball. As some of you know I have Fibro and for the last few months it's been taking it's toll so I am still having trouble finding my mojo, which is very frustrating! Hopefully I will get it back soon. </div>

Onto my card.</div>

I used 'For You' Tilda. She is colored with Copics and layered, but I was in such a hurry to get it finished and get Jordan out the door that I forgot to get a side view of her :(. But here's a close up:<br />

</div>
<div align="center">
Hello Ladies!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<br />
Today I have a birthday card to share. It's for my daughter Kylee's friend, who is turning 12. I decided to make it simple. Sort of. My daughter chose 2 SOG images. She wanted 2 girls - one to represent each of them (Kylee is the one in purple!). <br />
<br />

<br />
I used Geeky Mae and Heartsy Mae, colored with Copics, of course! I had to add my favorite banner, but I also added a banner with her name on it, and I made a cute little bow on my Cameo.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
School is finally out for the summer and now the kids are home all day. I am truly happy that they are on break, but it sure makes it hard to spend any time in my craft room. They like for their friends to come to our house, so there is usually at least one extra kid here at all times. It can get kind of chaotic around here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did get to finish a card this week though! I remember the days when I could get one card done a day... ah, those were the days. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week I made a Thank You card. I haven't put any flowers on my cards lately, so I think I may have gone a wee bit overboard. It doesn't fit in an envelope! Looks like I will be hand delivering this one :)</div>

Can you believe I forgot the name of this little cutie?! I knew I should have kept the packages. But as you can see she's a Magnolia stamp that I layered and colored with my Copics. I made the little banner on my Cameo.</div>

There you have it. I do have one other finished card, but I can't post it until after the birthday party :(. Maybe I can get another done between now and then. At least I'm sure going to try!</div>

<div align="center">
Good Morning!</div>

</div>
<div align="center">
I hope this finds everyone well. We have been dealing with a lot of things at our house that have taken up quite a bit of my time for the past couple of months, but as of yesterday, it looks like we have finally gotten the bigger issues resolved - phew! At least now I can breath! </div>
<div align="center">
Even though I have a few projects started I haven't been able to complete a new one as of yet. Hopefully this weekend I will have one finished now that I can concentrate on something.</div>
<div align="center">
You know how things just kind of blend into the background after awhile?</div>
<div align="center">
Well, I was at my Dad's house the other day when this card caught my attention. It's been sitting on my Mom's shelf right where everyone can see when they come to their home. It has had this place of pride for about 3 years now. And even though she is gone, my Dad has left it on that shelf.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I made this for her birthday:</div>

The image is 'Baby Fairy with Ladybug' from Mo's Digital Pencil (at least I'm pretty sure that's the name of this digi!). I absolutely adore this image! But it always looked like a little boy to me. So I colored it purple - with my Copics - and put a tiny bow in 'her' hair. </div>

This was also my first attempt at layering. It's very hard to get the proper affect with pop dots lol. I also glittered her wings.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good morning All!<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have finally pulled myself away from my normal go to digis to color up something different.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had this image for quite some time now and Father's day is the perfect opportunity to finally color it up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used "Love you Daddy" from Mo's Digital Pencil on my Dad's card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Isn't it adorable? She has the sweetest images. Although male cards are my least favorite to make, I am happy with the way it turned out. But now I'm thinking I need to go on her site and buy one or two more. Or maybe 3 ;). </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good Morning!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you all spoiling your Husbands today? We are trying to at my house, but my husband can make that difficult. He isn't very good at sitting and relaxing and doing nothing. Even when I insist on it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully after he has gone through his morning routine he will be able to relax and enjoy his day (OCD at it's finest, people!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For his card I decided on a clean and simple design since it's much easier that way on male cards (at least for me), and I chose the 2 Hearts Cody and Mae digi from Some Odd Girl. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course I layered the image (I can't help it - I'm obsessed!). Here is a close up:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I colored it with Copics, and made the banner with my Silhouette. I love the banners. Looking at the image now, I realize that they are floating. I always forget to do some shading under their feet. I really need to remember that part. </div>

</div>
<div align="center">
Hello Everyone!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Are you as obsessed with storage containers and boxes as I am? </div>
<div align="center">
I am always on the lookout for things that will hold one type of crafting supply or other. But I can never find one to hold those Stickles in the upside down position that I keep them in. I have seen some neat ideas and even tried a few, but I'm never quite happy with them. I suppose I just really want a box of some sort to store them in.</div>
<div align="center">
I finally found one that I think I will be happy with! </div>
<div align="center">
It is actually a file I found in the Silhouette store.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Here is the box</div>
<div align="center">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div align="center">
I couldn't just leave it like that! So I added a Tilda and a little flower spray</div>
<div align="center">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>

Then I double checked to make sure the Stickles bottles would still fit</div>
<div align="center">

I have decided to give this one to my sister since she has been looking for one too.</div>

</div>
<div align="center">
Hello Everyone!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Today my son turned 16. 16! I still can not understand where those years went. </div>
<div align="center">
We have a fairly new tradition in our house. For the past few years instead of having </div>
<div align="center">
a big birthday party, I take my kids out for the day to pick out their gifts and then we go to lunch or dinner. So this year my son CJ decided he wanted a Bearded Dragon. He has talked about it for quite a while now. Well, I finally gave in. </div>
<div align="center">

We now have a very happy 16 year old boy :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now for CJ's birthday card. I made this one VERY clean and simple because, well, you know, he isn't a "little kid" anymore ;).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Skateboard Tobie from SOG.</div>
<br />

I colored him with Copics - I really like purple and yellow together. And CJ likes purple too.</div>
I couldn't resist making this guy 3D, though. I wish it showed up better in my picture! I popped out his wind blown hair, His pants and skateboard, and then his left hand and the top wheels of the board.<br />
<div align="center">

I want to share the card I made for him on his 14th birthday. It's not a great picture, but he is so proud of this card and the fact that he still has it and it is in "perfect condition". He brought it down this morning to show me that he still has it :).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The image is Saturated Canary, but I don't remember the actual name of the stamp as I have had it for quite a long time.</div>

Good Morning Ladies! </div>

Wow, it's been awhile since I have blogged! That would be because it's been awhile since I have made an entire card! I know quite a few of you understand when I say I have lost my mojo. I hate it!! Every morning I wake up wanting to go into my craft room but it just isn't happening. I have been busy coloring, though! I have colored and done paper piecing pretty much every day. So when I can get my mojo back, I will be well prepared :).</div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
Onto my card. My daughter comes to me yesterday morning and tells me she has a birthday party this afternoon and needs a card. REALLY?! I had my 2 year old nephew here for the weekend, and I was given tickets to the Scrapbooking and Rubber Stamp convention in Syracuse for today, which was almost 2 hours away (that was a fun time!) so I had to get the card done last night, from start to finish. My plan was to color an image and stick it on a card. That did not happen.</div>

As you can see I used Some Odd Girl's Puppy Gwen. This is the first African American girl I have had the opportunity to color, and I loved getting the chance to try out different skin tones for a change. I was happy with how she turned out :). I did do a clean and simple card, but I recently purchased a tube of Pinflair glue (thank you Lea for tracking down a seller that ships to the US for me!) and I am now obsessed with doing paper piecing. I love giving my images that 3D affect. I actually don't even want to color an image unless I can make something on it pop lol. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a closer look:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center">
Hopefully you can see that I popped quite a bit of her. I could have done more - much more lol - but I had to stop myself. My daughter picked the image, the color combo for her outfit, and the papers. I think she did a pretty good job with coordinating :). </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Well that's all for now. I will be back in a couple of days with another card - mojo or not, my son is turning 16 on Wednesday so I WILL be back!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Until then, have a great day!</div>

Hello Everyone!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I hope you all had a great Easter. We had my family over to my house for dinner. It was nice to have everyone together. But it's also nice to have the peace and quiet again :).</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
The card I made to share today is actually the Anniversary card I made for my hubby. This Wednesday we celebrate our 16th. This time I really truly made a clean and simple card. It was painful not adding flowers and lace lol! But for him, it's just right.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I used Squeezy Hugs from SOG:</div>

I thought this image was perfect because it reminded me of us when we first started dating 26 years ago so I had to color the boy's hair sandy blond just like my husband had when we first met.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's all for now, short and simple just like the card :).</div>

</div>
<div align="center">
Hi there all my fellow bloggers!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
So the sickness is still running rampant through my house. Every time one person gets over something, another person gets sick. But my poor daughter keeps getting hit with everything that is going around. Now she has Strep throat! It's just one more reason that I can't wait for the warm weather to stay. It stops all of these illnesses. At least for a little while. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
The card I am sharing today is a get well card for my best friend. She had foot surgery a couple days ago - ouch! I chose Puppy Gwen from SOG. Yes, I am still hooked on these images. I have tons more to use still!</div>
<div align="center">

I chose this image because it reminded me of her. She has a little Chihuahua and she always wears a bow in her hair. </div>

<div align="center">
Good Morning Ladies!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I hope this finds everyone well. Today is a good day. My son is recovering nicely from his surgery, so that makes me very happy. There's nothing worse than your child being in pain and not being able to just kiss it away. At least he is finally on the mend.</div>
<div align="center">
On to my card.</div>
<div align="center">
I made one Easter card. Just one lol. This is for my aunt who sent me a card so it gave me a reason to use this cute stamp.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love this stamp. She is so adorable. Of course I colored her with my Copics</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I cut most of the images with my Cameo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried not to put any bulky embellishments on because it has to be put in the mail, but that is very hard for me! I just love adding roses and all the fun stuff so I feel like this card is rather bare. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To be honest, I was just being lazy and didn't want to have to go to the post office to mail it so I had to keep it rather flat so I could just pop it in my mailbox. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I suppose it doesn't pay to be lazy, does it lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did put a little extra on the inside though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
It made me feel a little better since I didn't add all the extras.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Well that's all for now. I have tons of images colored, I just need to find time to put them on a card so hopefully I will be back soon with another to share.</div>

Have a fun and crafty day!</div>

Hello All!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
It's been quite a week at my house. Everyone getting sick, one at a time. It hit me today - sore throat, headache, the works. Yuck! But I managed to finish a card :).</div>
<div align="center">
I received an order for a birthday card with a Cheerleader on it in the girl's school colors - Orange and black. I must admit I have never done an orange card as it is my least favorite color. I am actually happy with how it turned out.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I pulled out a stamp that I have had for a couple years. She's from Saturated Canary. And of course, she's a cheerleader!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Here she is:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a card I finished yesterday. I used Curly Kaylee. She's so cute.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I colored her with my Copics and most of the embellishments are from my Cameo. I also used Frantage - I love that stuff!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to force myself to do a card in something other than purple. It wasn't easy for me :).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
Hello Everyone.</div>
<div align="center">
It's been busy, busy around here lately. Lots of appointments with my son. He is going in for his first surgery in a couple weeks - Tonsillectomy. I think I am more nervous that he is! </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Today I have another Some Odd Girl card. I kind of fell in love with these digis pretty quick, so I think it's safe to say that's what you will be seeing for a little awhile :).</div>
<div align="center">
Here it is</div>

<div align="center">
I just love the their big eyes! </div>
<div align="center">
Everything was cut with my Cameo and she is colored in Copics - more purple, of course! I put some stickles on her wings. I just have to put some sparkle in there somewhere, don't you?</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
That's it for today. Until next time -</div>

I used Summer Wedding Tilda from Magnolia, colored with Copics. I also used my favorite Spellbinder die called Floral Ovals. I added flowers from WOC. I handmade the rosebuds in the bag, which I sent as a gift for my friend. But I didn't put any on my card, because I wanted to make sure she had 3 of each color!<br />

Well that's all for now. I will be back soon with another card :)<br />

Hello!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I finally spent almost the entire day in my craft room. It felt good to be in there again since I have been running around all week with appointments for my kids and so on.</div>
<div align="center">
I did a bit of organizing, printing and cutting digis with my Cameo, and I even got one whole card finished lol!</div>
<div align="center">
I decided to make a SOG card. In purple, of course. I really need to make myself do some other colors but those purples just call to me!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Here is my finished card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Butterfly Friend Fairy. I absolutely love fairies. And Butterflies! I cut the card base and leaves with my Cameo. The flowers are from WOC. The easel is also from my Cameo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a close up of this gorgeous Fairy:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the flowing hair and big eyes on these girls.</div>

I usually put some type of Spellbinders label inside my cards. Sometimes I like to leave them blank so I can write in them later.</div>

That's all for now. I hope everyone is having a great day.</div>

Good Morning! </div>
<div align="center">
I know I have been gone awhile. I have had a lot going on at home. Nothing bad, just busy.</div>
<div align="center">
Part of why I have been busy is because I bought a new toy and I have been wrapped up in playing with it lol.</div>

I spent hours - no, days - playing with this machine. I know I haven't even scratched the surface on what it can do. My birthday is in a couple weeks, so I have asked my hubby to buy me a drawing tablet for my computer. If I ever get the hang of that, I plan to draw my own designs for this. It's all very exciting!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the first card I made with the help of my Cameo. I used Summer Kaylee from SOG. These digis are a new found love for me. I ordered one. Then I ordered 4 more. Then 4 more lol. I love their eyes and sassy poses. It makes me think of my girls. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I very recently got my sister into card making. She got hooked very quickly lol. But she is not fond of coloring. So I offered to color up some girls for her to use on her cards since I love to color and can spend hours at a time doing it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I am off to start some coloring!</div>

</div>
<div align="center">
Good Morning!</div>
<div align="center">
<br />
I am seriously over the snow and freezing weather. I am so ready for sweatshirt weather again! My absolute favorite season is Fall, but I will take Spring too. I really do live in the wrong state for someone who despises the cold. The older I get, the more sensitive I am to extreme cold (and heat!). I hate leaving my house on these super cold days!<br />
Okay, onto my project. </div>
<div align="center">
Ever since I started card making, I have tried to making my own flowers. Roses, to be more specific. I have NEVER been able to make them look the way I want them to. Again, I have watched Youtube videos, and tried step by step instructions I found on different blogs. You ladies make it look so easy, but it sure isn't! I think I have tried every kind of punch and die for making them, but I was never happy with any of the results.</div>
<div align="center">
I placed an order for some new roses the other day at Wild Orchid Crafts and didn't realize I forgot to get some rose buds! They are one of my favs, but I had only purchased one set the last time, so I have been using them very sparingly lol. So last night I decided to try one. more. time.<br />
<br />

FINALLY!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I actually made one I would be happy putting on a card! I was so excited that I decided to make more:</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made 3 of each color I thought I would use first. But now I'm ready to make a ton more. And maybe once I perfect them, I will try making the entire rose again. Maybe.</div>

Good Afternoon All!</div>

I have had this set of Prisma Colored pencils for a few years now. The BIG set. I take them out once in awhile and try using them, but I am never happy with the results. I could never get them to blend right.</div>
<div align="center">
I was on Youtube and ran across some videos on coloring digis with them. They showed some people using baby oil, or Mineral Spirits to blend the colors. I actually have a small bottle of Mineral Spirits in my stash. So I decided to pull them out and try again!</div>
<div align="center">

Here is what I got:</div>

I wasn't happy with the skin combo in the first picture. That's why I didn't finish her lol. The second combo was better. </div>

Hello Ladies!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Just a quick post this afternoon to say - I'M SO EXCITED!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I had some errands to do today. While I was out and about I decided to stop into Joann Fabric</div>
<div align="center">
to see if by some miracle they stocked the new 'Magnolia Ink' yet. </div>
<div align="center">
No such luck (it takes months to get the new issues in for some reason). BUT. What I found made me very happy.</div>

Issue 47 of 'Complete Cardmaking with your PC'!!<br />
<br />
I have been checking all my craft stores, as well as Barnes and Noble ever since<br />
I saw online that it contained Saturated Canary digis (LOVE those girls!).<br />
I actually gave up looking. I assumed none of my stores carried this magazine.<br />
Apparently, it's just VERY popular.<br />
So today turned out to be a happy day for me :).<br />
<br />
Now I'm off to color up some adorable <a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/">Saturated Canary</a> girls!<br />
If you haven't checked out Krista Smith's girls, yet, click on the link. <br />
I promise you will fall in love with them like I did!<br />
<br />
Happy Coloring!<br />

Good Morning All!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I'm excited - and scared - BUT...</div>
<div align="center">
Today I am entering my very first challenge ever.</div>
<div align="center">
I'm not entering to win (although of course, who wouldn't love to win!?).</div>
<div align="center">
I'm entering to help push me through this fear I have about putting my creations out there </div>
<div align="center">
for anyone and everyone in the world to possibly see.</div>
<div align="center">
I don't know if this is a normal fear. But for me, I have always been this way. No matter what craft I have tried. The funny thing is, I don't do it for anyone but me. So if someone doesn't like what I create - oh well. So why this fear?? It really is rather irrational lol. So I'm jumping in and entering 2 Challenges. </div>
<div align="center">
I will be entering:</div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://magnolia-liciouschallengeblog.blogspot.com/">The Magnolia-licious Pretty in Pink Challenge</a> </div>
<div align="center">
and</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my card I used Hip Hip Hooray Tilda, colored in Copics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She's mounted on <a href="http://spellbinderspaperarts.com/Home.aspx">Spellbinders</a> Labels 22 and Decorative Labels 22.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made the bow with my new <a href="http://bowitall.com/">Bow-it-All.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My card is clean and simple, as I still have not mastered the art of layering!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But For my first entry, I'm happy with it.</div>
