Pink and Girlie for Mommy

Good morning all....I think I lost a day this week, and I almost forgot this post!  Today is the start of a new challenge at Charisma, and this time such an easy one....Pink and Girlie.  I've made a card up for my granddaughter to give to her Mom this weekend for Mother's Day.

Using some Echo Park paper from the Victoria Gardens pad, and the Lacey Ovals die from Spellbinders, I've opted to made a window card.  

The sentiments are from the Hugs for All set from Stampendous, and the sweet little image (Emily Hug a Heart) is from one of our sponsors....Digi Doodle Shop.  

The little butterfly is made with an embossing stencil....something I purchased ages ago but forget all about!  I keep meaning to make a list of all my hidden goodies, but that hasn't happened yet!

Then, just a few punched flowers and some sparkly gems to finish it off.

This week's generous sponsors are

(with 5 digis of the winners choice)

and

Here's hoping you get the chance to play along this week, and to check out the rest of the team's creations.

Top of the morning to you all!  Now we are into April, but don't you wish we still had March's warm weather?  Mother Nature can be such a tease!

Today it's time for another challenge at Charisma, and this time it is my theme and I have gone with Fancy Folds.  I do hope you can join us in our challenge, but first, be sure to check out the rest of the team's wonderful creations, you won't be disappointed!

Here, I've played with a delightful image from one of our sponsors, Digi Doodle Shop.  I've used copics and pencils in some of my favourite colours, for a nice bright sunny look! (thinking spring!) A flourish, a ribbon bow, and a butterfly for embellishment, plus some lovely floral DP from Basic Grey's Picadilly pad, all pair well against the bright yellow card stock.

We have two wonderful sponsors this time around, as follows
