Delightful Sketch #6/ Sweet KiKi La Rue

Happy Friday Everyone! Hope you all are looking forward to a long Labor Day Weekend. I know i am. No waking up early getting kids ready for school. YAY!! :0) okay now, how adorable is C.C. Designs sweet Kiki La Rue? I'm so in love with the Kiki's, i feel like i say that every release. lol. but seriously is she not totally adorable? she is so much fun to color. of coarse i had to use her with this fabulous sketch from Delightful Sketches. I just love this Sweet Treats paper from Doodlebug and thought it would go perfectly. for the mat behind kiki i used my Argyle embossing folder to give it an ice cream cone feel. My sentiment is from the C.C.Designs Sweet Treat set. Well that's it for me, I'm hoping to get some stamping done this weekend but we will see. I thank you so much for stopping by and visiting. Have a Wonderful weekend.

hugs,

FBW Happy Birthday Challenge

Hi friends, today's card is for the Flutter By Wednesday Challenge over at Danni's Dreams. I would like to take this time to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Danni, She is having a month long birthday bash and lots of candy, you must check it out. so it was only fitting that the challenge this week was to make a birthday card using a butterfly or a fairy. I used C.C.Designs Angels Everywhere digi. I used the eraser on my paint shop pro to take the halo off, making her into a fairy. The present is from the No Peeking stamp set from Ctmh, i pop dotted it to my fairy. I also put a pop dot under her wing to give it dimension. I added some glitter to her wing for some sparkle. For my banner i used the Happy Birthday set also from ctmh, and tried to give it the look of waving in the air. don't know how well that shows. remember you can always click on the image to get a closer look. Well that's it for me today. Thanks so much for coming by.

Hugs,
