Happy Easter! Happy Spring!

Hopefully spring is coming your way, bringing sunshine, daffodils and tulips.  I love this little image called Hey Chickie by Wags 'n Whiskers.  I bought her a while ago and just knew that she would be perfect for Easter and Spring.  
This card will be for my sweet niece, Bridget.  She is one of the nicest people I know and is such a wonderful example of Faith and Love (and I know she keeps my cards!)  No trash heap for this sweet little card.  :)

Sketch Challenge

Happy Sunday! Time for another fun challenge at Stamptacular Sunday.  It's a SKETCH Challenge!  Create a card that uses the sketch below as your inspiration.  Please feel free to flip it, flop it, twist it, turn it and add any embellishments your heart desires as long as we can still see the original sketch in your final results!  I love sketch challenges.  It really takes the pressure off and puts the fun in.  Our awesome sponsors this week are PAPER TEMPTRESS who is offering a $25 gift certificate!  Wow!  Love her papers.  I just received an order of white cryogen which I use for all my stamping.  It works great with copics.  Our other sponsor is TOTALLY STAMPALICIOUS.  The winner will get their choice of one stamp set!  There is some motivation! 


I am using a pre-colored image from Sassy Cheryl.  Isn't she just too cute?  I did do a little additional coloring with my copics.
