Fun time!!!!

-
Hello Everyone!  First of all I would like to say that I had a wonderful night last night!!!  I went out to see the musical "Wicked" with my friend Cinzia.  The music, the costume everything was just breathtaking.  And of course a girl's night out is always great fun!  Thanks Ci :D

This morning it's just a post for fun just because I felt like doing a card not for DT work :D I've been catching up since coming back.  With the death of my MIL and returning back to work, I seem to have had my hands full!  And of course I had the good news of being on some new teams so I had to prepare some cards.  I also like to have them done quite ahead of time if I can because life happens... so this way I don't miss posts!

This being said I really looooove to make cards so I want to create for the fun as well and this is one of those cards :D  Hope you like it.  I used the wonderful image Lilian from Papelitos stamps.  I won one of their challenges and got to choose 3 fantastic digis.  It was soooooo hard their digis are really great.  This is the 1st one that I use to make a card.

To make this I used paper from Desert Bloom - 1st Edition.  I also decided to do a shaped card so that I could enter in the challenge at Papelitos as well as the Pile it on challenge of this week.  It gave me the chance to use my new grand calibur :D  so much fun.  I used the standard circles, the scalloped circles and grommet tag.

I colored the wonderful digi with my copics.

I paired this image with a wonderful sentiment from TLC!  I've been using them like crazy!!!  Love them so much.  I attached it with some metal brads (sorry  forgot the name of the cie that makes them) and a little metal embellishment from Making memories Love set, it says falling for you.  I thought it went great with this card.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
  1. Papelitos stamps - Anything but squares (2nd entry)
  2. Whoopsi Daisy - Die cuts and/or punches (used a lot of die cuts) (2nd entry)
  3. Pile it on challenge - add some metal
  4. The crafty pad - show some metal
  5. My heart pieces digital stamp challenge - designer paper (3rd and last entry)
  6. Avadares challenge blog - Anything goes
  7. Dis digi designs challenge - No squares allowed (2nd entry)
I hope that you have liked my card.  I had so much fun doing it :D

I noticed that I'm almost at 100 followers... hmmm I'm thinking that this will soon call for a celebration, what do you think?  I'm putting together a little giveaway to do a candy on my blog to celebrate!  It's such a wonderful adventure this blog and having the opportunity to be on such amazing teams!  I'm truly blessed.

Hugs everyone and have a wonderful day.
