It is with a heavy heart that I post my very last <a href="http://stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">stampin' for the weekend</a> project :( Yes the fabulous and ever so popular challenge is closing its (virtual) doors after this last challenge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been part of the DT there since may 2011 so I will def' miss it and all the fabulous inspiration from the amazing DT and, of course, you the participants !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here it is my last card</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went for a CAS card with a paper pieced blue poppy which I embossed with an embossing stylus to give a raised, domed, effect. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a closer view of the flowers.</div>

This time around at <a href="http://stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">SFTW</a> our challenge is a fabulous photo inspiration.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here it is.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYQ14Y1s3hPSLsObYc6uP030vbFoS1VFvA_joVOdI-pHU8k7amRHoS3-VC3S9HpN0_KQF428kGOTARxVQyLSpXL6EuwqsqyFwYJUAGhschKMfTt9wiLah1WFyJY6NpoKgjVFU861zwb48/s1600/733d018af154948bedfc712f0df78596.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYQ14Y1s3hPSLsObYc6uP030vbFoS1VFvA_joVOdI-pHU8k7amRHoS3-VC3S9HpN0_KQF428kGOTARxVQyLSpXL6EuwqsqyFwYJUAGhschKMfTt9wiLah1WFyJY6NpoKgjVFU861zwb48/s400/733d018af154948bedfc712f0df78596.jpg" height="400" width="203" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't it gorgeous ? I must admit to really loving photo inspired challenges - I am always amazed to see how each crafter interprets the picture/s differently. I especially liked the colour palette of this inspiration photo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is my card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGCZfBvBGYpSlkhKnHVO9pF-zDdhaUC27EPyuFFgqJL029T9N7_gRWX4OYgsSro1EeXswoNfOGVpnxH60bHkHm74xueEVUDlvHcoaLO6LurwpNSjtgM6Gr64DtXgIo_6Gv_US8LBKgY5sI/s1600/photoinsp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGCZfBvBGYpSlkhKnHVO9pF-zDdhaUC27EPyuFFgqJL029T9N7_gRWX4OYgsSro1EeXswoNfOGVpnxH60bHkHm74xueEVUDlvHcoaLO6LurwpNSjtgM6Gr64DtXgIo_6Gv_US8LBKgY5sI/s1600/photoinsp.jpg" height="388" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That gorgeous image is, unmistakenly, from A day for daisies and I coloured it with both pro-markers and prisma's and added a little glamour dust for some sparkle. The DP's are all digital from various paper kits and those pennants are also digital too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I haven't listed all the different digi sets but if you want to know a particular make just shoot me an email or leave a comment and I'll happily let ya know x</div>

This fortnights challenge over at <a href="http://jellyparkchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Jellypark</a> is an easy one -</div>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-weight: normal;">Anything Jellypark goes</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose to use the cute and super spring-like <a href="http://www.jellypark.co.uk/102-bee-happy-digital-stamp/" target="_blank">bee happy digital stamp available at the store here</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see I made a tag with some DP from the American crafts Dear Lizzy neopolitan paper pad. My image is coloured with prisma pencils and I added some glamour dust for some sparkle and a couple of brads to anchor the sentiment. I used a little heart punch to create a hole for the ribbon (just for a change !) and I really like it !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't wait to add this l'il tag to some flowers to brighten one of my friends day ! </div>

Its time for the 1st <a href="http://stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">SFTW challenge</a> of 2014 and to ease you into the crafty new year we're making it easy for you to play along as the challenge this week is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Happy birthday" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Easy peasy so make a happy birthday card or project with some stamping on it and enter it into the draw x</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So one of the crafty gifts I received for Christmas was Frantage :) and I must admit to getting a little carried away with it on this card ! Ha ha yep I don't think there is much on this card which has not been kissed with a little bit of frantage ! It was the first play I've had with it so I'm sure you can forgive me can't you ?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Image is from a set of pergamano clear stamps called flower girl I have had them since </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
forever ! I coloured her in with my Prisma pencils then die cut with a spellbinders oval, then added frantage (the very first splashes !) and the beaded edge. DP's are a mix of Kaisercraft Sweet nothings and HOTP all of which have been given distressed edges and frantaged ! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Die cuts include swirls from , butterflies from crealie and leaf/branch from Joycraft (I think !) The die cut bow and flowers from stash. The chipboard frame is from prisma.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you like it I had a great time playing with a new style of card :)</div>

Well I had a lovely Christmas break I hope you all did too and to be honest I really didn't have any enthusiasm for getting back to my craft table but once I started I realised how much I missed it and I had such a ball playing with paper I now can't keep away from my craft table ! So expect many more creations soon !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today is my 1st <a href="http://jellyparkchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Jellypark</a> project of the year and our new challenge this week is </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Buttons & bows"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose to use one of my (many) favourite Jellypark images the super <a href="http://www.jellypark.co.uk/ourshop/prod_2085082-164-cute-dancing-rabbit.html" target="_blank">cute dancing rabbit</a> which is on sale at the moment for just £1 over at the <a href="http://www.jellypark.co.uk/ourshop/prod_2085082-164-cute-dancing-rabbit.html" target="_blank">jellypark store</a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a baby boy card I coloured that cute image with pro-markers and added some shading with my prisma's. I fussy cut him out and added texture with my ball tool. I mounted him onto a card panel which I washed with my H2O's then embossed with a embossing folder. The DP's are ancient from stash and I'm unsure of the brand - sorry ! </div>

Over at <a href="http://jellyparkchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Jellypark</a> we have a special month long Christmas themed challenge for you to play along with whenever you like throughout December.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my creation using one of the fab new release's</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the new <a href="http://www.jellypark.co.uk/ourshop/prod_2977592-278-Gingerbread-man-digital-stamp.html" target="_blank">gingerbread man digi stamp</a> to add to a tag on my gingerbread mix gift jar made for the school Christmas fair - I hope whoever receives it likes it !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the tag with a little space for a personal message and the gingerbread recipe printed on the reverse.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My gingerbread man is coloured with pro-markers with a little shading added with prisma pencils.</div>

This weeks new challenge over at <a href="http://stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Stampin' for the weekend</a> is an easy peasy one, especially with Christmas just around the corner, we want you to use some red - yep that's it ! Remember it does not have to be a Christmas project just as long as you use some red and, of course, some stamping !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my card made with a super cute Saturated Canary image who is also our lovely sponsor this fortnight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPBfne2_PmBJEKw0Nndx5ZBHgQiea6dR_8Bcx_4n18xpBUq2eaM5Q9-OM9tBoCTmP-ShszM6UoY6KGo4tTq5lUZafECzhN29jarHkpq7VnosrDn44_9T8wPlPbPdP8Ngj_bSWXSVZXvHlA/s1600/red.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPBfne2_PmBJEKw0Nndx5ZBHgQiea6dR_8Bcx_4n18xpBUq2eaM5Q9-OM9tBoCTmP-ShszM6UoY6KGo4tTq5lUZafECzhN29jarHkpq7VnosrDn44_9T8wPlPbPdP8Ngj_bSWXSVZXvHlA/s400/red.jpg" width="365" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I coloured the fabulous image first with my pro-markers then added some shading with my prismas. The DP's are all from the Sherry K Christmas digi paper pack. The dress and the sentiment were both pieced onto the same Spotted DP - I just resized the print in word - another huge advantage of using digital papers :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The snowflakes were diecut using my new (just couldn't resist them !) crafts too fresh snow snowflakes - I am so pleased with them they will def' feature on most, if not all, of my Christmas cards which I am only just starting on !!!</div>

<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Feeling festive</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep we want to see your Christmas creations :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a card using my SU christmas ornament stamp and the matching die.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghZ2o1ORPgCvybEQaw6BOi6FQB4mDnrM3sYTYQqFgYiWpNdPDN2PcGjHvw1_kSWCJUGY2Xyd-6AqIWq-oqpqJJrIIK6dBW8uOs0DkKQCxLUtknHH_0pXqindShe7L3vEzHTpqLqE9tVv5p/s1600/festive.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghZ2o1ORPgCvybEQaw6BOi6FQB4mDnrM3sYTYQqFgYiWpNdPDN2PcGjHvw1_kSWCJUGY2Xyd-6AqIWq-oqpqJJrIIK6dBW8uOs0DkKQCxLUtknHH_0pXqindShe7L3vEzHTpqLqE9tVv5p/s400/festive.jpg" width="297" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped and die cut 4 of the largest ornaments and folded each in half then stuck them together back to back to make a 3D ornament which I layered onto an oval then a spellbinders label. I also created a hanging loop with wrapped wire.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lovely studded border is from an old websters pages kit - I love it so much I haven't wanted to use it !!! I added a dark red chiffon ribbon and bow with a button, gem and a sentiment.</div>

This time around at <a href="http://jellyparkchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">jellypark friends</a> we are celebrating pinktober with our challenge to show support and raise awareness of breast cancer. So join in with us and show us your projects with plenty of pink :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my project, made using the cute <a href="http://www.jellypark.co.uk/ourshop/prod_1629347-095-girl-dressing-up-digital-stamp.html" target="_blank">dressing up digi stamp available here at the store</a> </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the fabulous <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/trifold_pocket_card/" target="_blank">tutorial over at splitcoast</a> to make this trifold pocket card. I always take my niece shopping for her birthday and I thought this would make a cute way to sort out our little trip !</div>

I wanted to pop on a share a card that I made for my youngest sons birthday, he was 5 on Sunday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here it is</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWbC1fQ4MyTbgk6C2EH3fvVG12NQuwdezoTjDfkdqarjM-e1OIRoPb6UHTiNydkLD1c49tWrAbXVM1kxlwLAC6mTsiAx9fDWzZ9ymmwvhuE8yIB95G16OdItu83lXwRYFhp-1q6a7R99Td/s1600/Aidandino.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWbC1fQ4MyTbgk6C2EH3fvVG12NQuwdezoTjDfkdqarjM-e1OIRoPb6UHTiNydkLD1c49tWrAbXVM1kxlwLAC6mTsiAx9fDWzZ9ymmwvhuE8yIB95G16OdItu83lXwRYFhp-1q6a7R99Td/s400/Aidandino.jpg" width="371" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used one of my fav' Jellypark images <a href="http://www.jellypark.co.uk/ourshop/prod_1629071-008-dinosaur-boy-digital-stamp.html" target="_blank">Dinosaur boy available here</a> and coloured him with</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pro-markers and prisma pencils. Dp's are a mix the base green layer is HOTP and the dog tooth green is from the MME vanity fair paper pad. The stars are die cut with sizzix framelits and the 5 was cut using typewriter number dies from memory box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love this jellypark image it's a lovely one to colour up. Claire (the brains and the talent behind Jellypark) makes just the cutest <a href="http://www.jellypark.co.uk/ourshop/cat_756770-Boys.html" target="_blank">boy digi's</a> around I always struggled to find nice, fun "boy" images before I was introduced to the <a href="http://www.jellypark.co.uk/" target="_blank">jellypark</a> :)</div>

Wowsers another fortnight has flown by and its already time for a new challenge over at <a href="http://stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Stampin' for the weekend</a>. This time around it's an anything goes challenge so you can show us any of your fab creations - as long as it contains some stamping :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are sponsored this fortnight by the fabulous <a href="http://www.stampfairy.com/" target="_blank">stamp fairy</a> who kindly supplied the DT with some super cute images.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

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

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

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I colured the super cute little image with my pro-markers before adding some shading with my prisma's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The DP's are all websters pages, the holly die cuts are from an old K & Co kit and the foam snowflake is an old one that I found kicking about at the back of the craft cupboard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It will be a quick post (did you just sigh with relief ?!) as I have a poorly little boy laying on the sofa watching curious George ! So I'm gonna type quick before the medicine wears off !!<br />
<br />
Ok so here it is<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilVCbbn9q0lMk_WnZsbnj9o-dhjki3KAJtS_ETiHc6u51IR3B4dhRr8_CDIemIKkrKT5TWkVBlaeup6oxbQZ1-CeB60aUy-7296wAjun5G-MXWhfEmkKx7p2Xrp0a09WK016AIDISe6oa9/s1600/anniversary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilVCbbn9q0lMk_WnZsbnj9o-dhjki3KAJtS_ETiHc6u51IR3B4dhRr8_CDIemIKkrKT5TWkVBlaeup6oxbQZ1-CeB60aUy-7296wAjun5G-MXWhfEmkKx7p2Xrp0a09WK016AIDISe6oa9/s400/anniversary.jpg" width="325" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a sizzix embossing folder for the main background panel and highlighted the texture with a little bit of ink. The second piece of embossing is actually a debossed heart made using another, smaller, sizzix folder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The ribbon, a chiffon with satin stripe, was white but I coloured it up with a pro-marker so it matched perfectly :) Oh I just noticed that there is more embossing on the heart locket (spellbinders) which is die cut then embossed onto foil engraving board then distressed to bring out the pattern in silver. The beautiful flower die cut is from a sheet that I purchased from my local craft store - I am sorry it does not have a brand printed on it :(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are also aurora borealis gems, a sentiment, flower & button twine thrown in there too for good measure !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was plesaed with the finished card until I found that I didn't have a larger envelope to accomodate the way I went over the edge of my card - <span style="color: magenta;">PLEASE HELP if you have any tips or tricks regarding this problem - what envelope sizes do you use when you overlap the side of your card ? Do you make your own envies or boxes ? Please share any useful tutorial links too :) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Today it is time for a new challenge over at <a href="http://stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Stampin' for the weekend</a> and this time around the theme is one that all us girlies like it's fairies and fantasy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I love fairies I have been hankering after a mermaid image for a while now and thought this would be a perfect excuse :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0vURCDfJiWfaJ2JNcg_o8m7FyHRoESf4d27tbLcqaw8qubXApSthZn93RQgVGWtHHjOE4qWcjIrd0QAItpTa_6vcRP3cDuUuspYAM9a2nW0WUCgfv-oUw_iyZPKPFSgPzCjjgV1keComl/s1600/mermaid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0vURCDfJiWfaJ2JNcg_o8m7FyHRoESf4d27tbLcqaw8qubXApSthZn93RQgVGWtHHjOE4qWcjIrd0QAItpTa_6vcRP3cDuUuspYAM9a2nW0WUCgfv-oUw_iyZPKPFSgPzCjjgV1keComl/s400/mermaid.jpg" width="387" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first thing to point out is that I printed the stamp onto pearlescent card, although it doesn't show on the photo, it looks great. I coloured that super sweet image, from <a href="http://www.weestamps.com/?page_id=27" target="_blank">Sylia Zet</a>, first with my pro-markers then added a little more depth with my prisma & poly chromos. The tail is covered with stickles glitter and I added glossy accents to the bubbles. The background was then chalked blue - which also doesn't show well in the picture !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The papers are all digi from different kits I haven't listed them but if you see one that you particularly like just holler and I'll let you know :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today is time for another fab new challenge over at <a href="http://jellyparkchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Jellypark friends</a> and this week we want to see you make your sentiment the main focus of your card</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my card made using one of the images from the baby sentiments set available at the <a href="http://www.jellypark.co.uk/ourshop/prod_2604025-900-new-baby-sentiment-stamp-set.html" target="_blank">jellypark store here</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjyU_b99u1YHgCYnKjSBDiW0-1Bh_kYwvX25lUat5sFwBd-J7Kh5ZzMAdlJkdQdrIOWKZl1W6Apzxc4q9CzXPt-iR9-r0D7b9sZVN4bjlNxyLfuo816-0YlBxd7LXxTJU5JSG-6LPddG1O/s1600/sentimental.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjyU_b99u1YHgCYnKjSBDiW0-1Bh_kYwvX25lUat5sFwBd-J7Kh5ZzMAdlJkdQdrIOWKZl1W6Apzxc4q9CzXPt-iR9-r0D7b9sZVN4bjlNxyLfuo816-0YlBxd7LXxTJU5JSG-6LPddG1O/s400/sentimental.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The set is amazing value you get 6 great baby themed sentiments for just £2.25 - here is a peek</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.jellypark.co.uk/ourshop/prod_2604025-900-new-baby-sentiment-stamp-set.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7ZrIGNMx1TphZmtyqDixMFjAcz1OTqcBtVU4lgM6sbKl5ReMvIldOXA3OgdEImNiS5LY28wPzxYVPSZxuHLI9clPNQslGaBTa-CKlIrwY7tiKz4HdbqULzRI6LmmwWX1wGotJ4Z8bCjvi/s320/f_2604025.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried something different by adding some doodling around the edge of the sentiment with a white gel pen and a black fine liner - what do you think ?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So for the details - I used lots of die cuts - Spellbinders circles & scalloped circles and the corners are also spellbinders. The aqua scalloped border is bought die cut border from doodbebug. I also used 2 ribbons - teal satin and white chiffon topped of with a button and a websters pages sparkler.</div>
