For my card I chose an image from all the ones that I had that comes from Opal manor and can be found here, it's free.  I just thought it was soooo cute!

I used paper from Bazzill Basics - Grandma's Feather bed (perfect for this sleep card right?!?).  I added a recollection flower, some brad, bling, charm and ribbon from my stash.

Here's a closer look at the digi that I colored using my copics.

Here's the sentiment from Create with TLC  I think it goes perfectly with this image!!!

We have a super sponsor this month - The Stamping Chef, who has graciously offered 3 digis of the lucky winners choice who comment on the Design Team Blog at The Stamping Chef and becomes a follower.  BTW you will love what you see there... the digis are awesome and there are freebies every Friday!  So being a follower will be a great thing for you!

This was the last stop of the line ;). Thanks for stopping by and mark your calendar again next month to see what Holidays to Celebrate on February 9, 2013, for the next Calendar Girls Blog Hop!

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

1. Challenges 4 everybody - Anything goes
2. Lexis creations - Anything goes
3. Inky impressions challenges - Add a sentiment
4. Paper pretties blog - brads (there's a brad in the middle of my flower)
