I knew I wanted to use these adorable stamps from Art Impressions. I started with a basket cut with my Cameo but just didn't like the way that was going so I went to a file I created in my Cameo for this side stair step card years ago. Well actually almost 9 years ago. If you want to see that post it is linked <a href="http://itsmycreativeworld.blogspot.com/2013/05/mayzys-amazing-may-blog-hop.html" target="_blank">here</a>.

Well Hello There,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes I have been MIA for a while. I hope to be back to blogging and video making in the New Year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So stay tuned. Well I sent all my Christmas cards out before I thought to take a picture of some .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While I was making my Christmas cards I ended up coming up with an idea for a New Years card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A dear friend gave me the Simon Says Stamp star die cut last year and I love it. I have cut it with Neenah solar white card stock. I then layered that on to some metallic gold card stock that I layered on the black card base. I die cut the little banners out of the the same card stocks using dies I received as a prize from Love's Rubber Stamps. The Happy New Year stamp is one from Michaels $1 bins from a number of years ago. I stamped in the delicata gold ink.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The champagne glasses are a silhouette cut file. The "Champagne" in them is created using Darcie's sparkle tape. It is so pretty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The inside was done making a cut file into a print file using Silhouette file again but I added the 2015 to the glasses this time. The stars have wink of Stella on them. </div>

Happy Friday Everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to follow along with <a href="http://sassycherylschallenge.blogspot.com/2014/06/challenge-211-lets-get-sketchy-wa-sassy.html">Sassy Cheryl's Sketch</a> this week so I made a cute birthday card for anyone who loves Micky and Minnie mouse. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the We're All Ears Set from Sassy Cheryl. Here is the<a href="http://www.sassycherylsstamps.com/products/were-all-ears-1"> link</a> if you would like to pick this cutie up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a sketch over at the challenge blog and I though it would be fun to use up some of my little ears embellishments that I have had now for a while. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is colored with copic markers and I used linen paper. I love the look of copics on the linen paper. The texture just does something. A little wink of stella was used on the skirt ruffle and the hair bow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi there Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope all is good with you. Well it was a long holiday weekend here. We had a great weekend. Well it was great to get lots of things done around the outside of the house. We finally finished the deck. Woo Hoo. Got some other projects out of the way as well. But we still found time for a nice steak and baked potato on the grill. YUM. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok on to my card. Of course it is another cutie from Sassy Cheryl. This is Day Dream Believin. She is available <a href="http://www.sassycherylsstamps.com/collections/spring-summer-ss/products/day-dream-believin-1">HERE </a>. The challenge was to use purple and 2 die cuts. I have used some MFT dies for the banners shapes. The verse is die cut as well. I love these colors such happy colors. </div>

Hello there,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can you believe it, two weeks in a row. Yup I have another card. This is a colorful CAS card I have done for Sassy Cheryl's challenge this week. I love the fun colors. The adorable image of course is from Sassy Cheryl shop. I love her images. I have colored this cutie with my copics. Not overly happy with the hair but considering I pretty much wiped it off with my colorless blender to try again not too bad. LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok, hope to get some more cards done but all the outside work that comes with home ownership ( you know the thing when the house owns you) that we are working on I will try and squeeze some in. Anybody want to come over and help with striping a deck and then painting it? :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Have a great week.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well Hello Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know it has been forever since I posted. I decided to do a little cardmaking the other day. I picked up a couple of Sassy Cheryl's images and started. The image is from Avery's Summer Afternoon set available <a href="http://www.sassycherylsstamps.com/collections/on-sale/products/averys-summer-afternoon">HERE</a> oh and it's on sale too. :-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just too this picture with my phone's camera since it was sitting here. LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have colored her with my copics. The little piece of designer paper is from Michael's $1 bin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used my cloud stencil from Rosie's Roadshow and my BG 10 copic. I think they came out cute. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We have lots of ugly clouds here today along with rain and wind and it's cold my poor little flowers that are out need little sweaters on. </div>

Hi there everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wow almost a month since I posted. Goodness. Oh well it's that time of year. Just a quick post today. I finally made one of the pretty lighted glass blocks I have been seeing everywhere. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just took a quick picture with my phone so it's not the greatest picture and you can see my messy desk too. LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut the words that I purchased from the Silhouette store from vinyl and added them to the block and put some jingle bells inside add a light and boom done. It came out really cute. </div>

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you are having a great day today. I sure am. I am in my studio having a blast taking the Online Card Classes Holiday Card Workshop 2013. I am working on Day 1 because I was not able to work on anything Monday and Tuesday. But I made this cute adorable gift card holder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The stamp is one that is part of a set by Darcies that I purchased at convention a number of years ago. Long before you could find a lot of Darcie's product in store and online stores. It is a large set and I had never used it before except to catalog it. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I broke it out and went with it. This my interpretation of Kristina's card. Change it up a little but not much. I like some have a few washi tapes and never use them. I think this is the second time I have ever used any on a card. I like the way it dressed it up. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This little guy is colored with my copics and cut out. The little glitter snowflakes are stickers from the Dollar Tree and worked perfect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sentiment is from the same stamp set and embossed with white embossing powder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh and I finally got a hold of a Wink of Stella Clear glitter brush pen and have used it on the heart. It's very hard to see in the photo but gives a pretty shine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I have a ton and I do mean a ton of embossing folders and rarely use them. I broke out the peppermint stripe one by cuttlebug and used it on the front of the card that is done with Kraft cardstock. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now this inside. It has a vellum pocket for the gift card. Oh and another one of those glitter snowflakes and yes more washi tape. I am on a roll. LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you have enjoy the card today and now I am back to some more of the classes. </div>

Happy November. Boy is it moving fast already. I am glad I got a jump on making Christmas cards this year. Here is one I channelled my former DT team mate Dawn. She always made the most beautiful CAS cards. I am using a Sassy Cheryl image. Her snow people are so adorable. </div>

This cutie is colored with my copics. I have used white linen card stock. I love the texture it gives. The image is so cute I didn't want to clutter it with too much so I just added the sentiment. Oh but I couldn't let it go completely I added just a touch of stickles around the star. A little hard to see but it's there. </div>

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a quick picture of a card I did using another cute Sassy Cheryl image ( yes I love her images). Isn't she a cutie? Nothing ugly about her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is all ready to head out for some treats. She is a good girl no tricks up her sleeves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry the lighting is a little bad it is later in the afternoon so no bright sun. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I have colored her with my copics. Her dress has some pretty stickles on it. The ribbon is glittery. The Trick or Treat stamp is a studio G stamps</div>

I wanted the spider web paper to stand out and the plain orange cardstock was not cutting it. I added some heat and stick powder and used my AIG pumpkin glitter to make it look like glitter paper which I didn't have in orange.</div>

Hello Everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Wednesday! Can you believe that October is half over. Wow, the end of the year will be here before you know it. I just noticed on the calendar that Thanksgiving is pretty late this year. I have seen a black Friday already go up on BFads. Good grief guess better get moving on that Christmas shopping. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok, today my card is not Christmas but just screaming fall. </div>

Hi everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope your week has started off to be a good one. Today I have a card that I made with one of Sassy Cheryl's recent additions to her shop. Isn't she a cutie? I thought I would make it a little different rather than a winter or Christmas card. It's October and that it breast cancer awareness month so I went in that direction. I created the verse/tag with my cameo making a print file out of the ice skates cut file. This just give you double use of your cut files. </div>

Now I support the cause when ever I can I am not sure I would do so well with this well unless skating can be done on your butt because that would be more than likely where I would end up. LOL But I would give it a try. ( I think) might have to think about it, the older you get the bones don't heal well if broken. Hummm. Ok I would donate.:-)</div>

Hi there,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been having fun for the past couple of days making cards. I thought I would share one that I think came out really cute. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The image is by Sassy Cheryl. I thought she was just adorable hugging her pumpkin she picked. She is called Maddie and her prize pumpkin and is available <a href="http://www.sassycherylsstamps.com/collections/fall-m-m/products/maddie-her-prize-pumpkin">here</a>. I have colored her with my copics. She has also been cut out using my cameo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The I love Fall was also cut using my cameo. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The ribbons are some scraps of seam binding that I colored using distress stains. I was trying out the new colors and I just thought they were so pretty together and screamed FALL that I had to try and use the scraps somewhere they just fit this card. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little leaves are brads and the leaf in the middle of the ribbon is a wood piece by recollections. </div>

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are a few more organizing ideas and a video tour of my studio that I have put to use .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are jewerly/sock organizer I purchased from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Household-Essentials-Jewelry-Stocking-Organizer/dp/B0048ZIBI6/ref=sr_1_29?ie=UTF8&qid=1380753051&sr=8-29&keywords=hanging+jewelry+organizer">Amazon.com</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have pockets on both the front and back. I am using them to store my stickles and liquid pearls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have cut tags much like the ones I used to catalog my embossing folder but smaller to put a sample of my stickles and liquid pearls on. This way I just grab the ring to see what color would look best. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHR6OfIr0oFMZ0CJkavBWS_Ly8PoGCDI0SwVq60Hwso1pxx3rP2pBEjVg8wSgvxv4SPkjeaPEeOYZxNQCN8tbDsaYIgoDRTiX0qjMz-7s7MeRYU3zRAZIpuCe7LiFv22Dv8jCxFE5Dry4/s1600/P9180216.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHR6OfIr0oFMZ0CJkavBWS_Ly8PoGCDI0SwVq60Hwso1pxx3rP2pBEjVg8wSgvxv4SPkjeaPEeOYZxNQCN8tbDsaYIgoDRTiX0qjMz-7s7MeRYU3zRAZIpuCe7LiFv22Dv8jCxFE5Dry4/s400/P9180216.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the liquid pearls side. I also have these same organizers to organize a lot of much embellishment like my pearls and such. Works great. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are over the door shoe organizers. I am using them to organizer a lot of different small things as well as my ribbons. I have my ribbon seperated by color in zip bags and have two colors in each slot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These had metal hangers but just didn't like they way they mark the door up so I put the 3M hooks up and used ribbon to hang mine and it works perfect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

This one holds my brad, eyelets etc. I purchased days of the week pill boxes from the Dollar Tree and have put all my brads in these. Work just perfect. Mine were a mess before. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope your week is going well. Been very busy this last week. I have a really fun card for you today. A flashback to the 50's.</div>

This is an digi image by Simply Betty. Isn't she adorable. I thought the pink and gray would be perfect for the "50's" look. Is that poodle not too cute. I added some puff paint on him.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have colored her with my Copics. I added some black and pink glitter pearls around the cards along with some pretty pink ribbon and a pink flourish. The papers are some that I had in my stash. With most of this card I think it is perfect for Breast Cancer Awareness this month. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't forget to schedule those Mammograms. Mine is all set up. </div>

I had fun making this card. I wan't around in the 50's but I do remember in the later 70's that a big fad was the 50's style because of Happy Day's. We had 50's days in Jr High that everyone dress up like this. </div>

I am back again. Hope no one fell of their chair because I am posting two days in a row. LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have for you how I organized my embossing folders so that I will use them. Yes, I seem to collect them too. But I have to say now that I have organized them I am pulling them out more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I did have them sorted by themes and had the cards that you see sticking up with names on them. I just left those in there but I have numbered all of the folder with a sharpie. They are stored in a decorative box I purchased from AC Moore it has nice handles on it so it's easy to pick up. I is a bit bigger than a regular photo box. The little border one are in a pouch that was part of the cuttlebug tote that I out grew :-) but works perfect for the border ones. </div>

Now what I did was cut out tags on my Silhouette cameo you could just cut down cardstock to the size you like and punch a hole. I have numbered each one of the tags to match the folder and have embossed that folder on the tag and they are all on a ring. Now I can just pull the ring out pick the folder I want and grab it out of the box. I do put on the tag if it is an A2 folder or 5x7 just so I will know. </div>

Here is a little closer shot of the tags. Hope this might inspire you to do this. It has really helped me. I got the idea off of a Facebook group for organizing. </div>

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Long time no see. I have been doing lots of things just not posting to my blog only once in a great while because I have been busy with getting organized. Just about a year ago I moved from our finished basement where I had a very large space to an upstairs spare bedroom. I have some pictures on the blog with that going on. I also went through a lot of my craft supplies and sold a ton of stuff that was just sitting around not being used and more than likely wouldn't be used so out they went. I still have a couple of boxes of stuff to sell. I may list it on the blog later. Most of what I have are wood mounted stamps and books. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well enough of that. I got around to taking some pictures of some of the stuff that I organized WARNING post is very picture heavy. This first post is what has taken me the longest to complete. My goal was to have it completed by September and I did it. Woo Hoo. So here it goes. The first set of pictures"before" from when I was in the basement. This pictures show the mounted stamps and how I was indexing my unmounteds. Yes I have a lot of stamps. I have been into stamping since 1994 so almost 20 years. You don't even what to know how much money I have in it cause I don't know but believe me I saw some of the price stickers on the stamps as I unmounted and cringed. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok on to what I am guessing some are say well how do you know what you have? Yes, this took a lot of time but boy I am so very very please with it and have used it a good number of times already. I decided on what category's worked best for me. The I would stamp out that group on copy paper and put into page protectors (front and back) then the container (box,cd,dvd) would be labeled example Shy Bears DVD 1 and so on. Then on the sheet I would also label it the same so I just look in the catalog see what stamp I want to use then look at the label grab that case or box. I can tell the size or see the detail without have to pull out the case to look for the one I am looking for. So much time was wasted before doing that. </div>

These binders are I think 3 1/2 binders as you can see I needed two of them. But putting the sheets in the page protectors will really make this last a long time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To conclude. My hands were so tired of stamping and my nails were so ink stained it took weeks for me to get them back to normal. Would I want to do it all over again? Hell NO. Was it worth it? Oh very much so. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will have a couple more organizing posts in the coming days. I can say I have been stamping again and started making my holiday cards and loving it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks so much for sticking with me. If you have any questions about what I did feel free to leave me a comment. Thanks for stopping by. </div>

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it has been a good while since I posted. I have finally finished unmounting and cataloging all my stamps. This was no small task. I have been stamping and buy um I mean collecting stamps since 1994 so I had some tired fingers and hand unmounting them. Then I stamped all of them and cataloged them. I will take pictures later and post. I am so glad that it is done. I feel really good about it. I have used the catalog a good bit already. Woo hoo, all not for nothing. LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok today I have a card for you that is for the Facebook Challenge over at Simply Betty. She offered this fantastic digi for us to use. I love halloween almost as much as Christmas when it comes to card making. </div>

Sorry the pictures just didn't seem to come out too well. She was so fun to color. She is colored with my Copics. I must say though I don't normally color black hair because I just don't feel I am very good at it. </div>

I made a stair step card because I wanted to use so many of my cameo files to add to this one. I think I put everything but the kitchen sink on this one. The stair step card is one that I designed on my cameo and is free for any Silhouette cameo owners. Check this blog post out. <a href="http://itsmycreativeworld.blogspot.com/2013/05/mayzys-amazing-may-blog-hop.html">http://itsmycreativeworld.blogspot.com/2013/05/mayzys-amazing-may-blog-hop.html</a> It also has a video to show you how to make this even if you don't have the cameo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The little ticket stamp is one I picked up at Michaels what is now the $1.50 bin. I love it. I have embossed it with a purple pearl shimmer embossing powder. The decorative paper has been distressed with black ink all around the edges</div>

Her fingernails have black Atyou glitter pen on them. Thought that was perfect. I also used Stampin Ups Heat and stick powder on the corner spider web flourish and then added black glitter. I have to say Stampin Up's heat and stick is the only powder I have every had perfect results with when it comes to heat and stick.</div>

Hi there Everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nope didn't fall of the face of the earth just taking a bit of a break to get things in my craft studio organized some. Just got the Avery Elle pockets in today and got all my dies and clear stamps sets in them. Just need to label them. I am shocked to see how much less room they take up. Yay... great buy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes the card you are seeing was on here before but I have been wanting to make a video on creating the speech bubble and finally got around to do it. I had tried twice before. Now my phone never ring because of using texting or email that sort of stuff but don't you know both times I started this video the phone rings. Finally the third time was a charm. So below the card is the You Tube video showing you how to make your own speech bubble using the Silhouette Cameo. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh and don't forget to keep your little cut outs of the words to use on something else. That is what I did with the word fun. I made a speech bubble and used the word FUN for this card.</div>

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

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

Ok, a few weeks ago I won a challenge over at Digi Galore (thanks ladies) and the prize was images from Simply Betty. I had seen some projects done using the stamps but never really had the chance to check them out. Well I have to say boy did I have a hard time picking out what I wanted for the prize. LOL Of course I went back and purchased the other that were on the wish list. So that lead me to find Simply Betty's facebook group. Wow, lots of fun activity there. She was having a give away for an image but you had to use it in the challenge. You got to pick good or evil of the mermaids. At first I picked good but change it real quick to evil. I thought Oh I am going with something different. </div>

I had so much fun coloring this and giving it a little bit of evil. Although I think she looks more a little more on the evil seductive<span style="font-size: medium;"> side. LOL </span></div>

I have colored her with my copics. But I thought she need more so I added distress stickles to her scales. I love stickles. I think it is one of my favorite ways to dress up a card. </div>

Because I wanted this to have a lot of dimension I need seaweed. Ok so I check my cut files. Nah nothing.So I looked at what I had in my stash. Ok opened a bag of Christmas florals that I bought a couple of years ago. So I pulled of two piece of what was shiny silver. Broke out my air compressor for my copics and had at it. Boom they matched. Yay. </div>

The verse also came with the digi image and it so perfect. I thought the paper went well with it cause the distressed look kind of reminds me of bubbles . Ok I have went on long enough. Thanks so much for stopping by and checking my Out side of my comfort zone project. Be sure and stop over to Simply Betty and check out her images. She really has some really fun image. </div>

She is colored with my Copics. Of course she is cut out using my cameo along with her mat she is one. The heart banner is also a cut file. I added stickle hearts inside of the little hearts. The hearts that are scatter around are the pieces from the cut file with some glossy accents on them. She also has some stickles on the bottom of her dress as well. I love stickles. LOL</div>
