I wanted to share a card that I have made for the Whimsy Challenge.

Challenge #55 Fancy Edges 

***There are two awesome prizes up for grabs and You DON'T have to use Whimsy Stamps

Here is my card:

 Here is a closeup of Bella Sole-Gifts of Love; she reminds me so much of so many women in my life. My Mom and Aunts with that sun hat and those roses; I just had to have her and coloring was so much fun. I have colored her using my trusty and oh so loved Copics:0)

FB Pay-It Forward!

Hello Crafty Peeps; I wanted to share something that is going on in my FB page.

I am Playing It Forward! So my sweet friends please leave me a message and I will also do as Jacqueline has described below.

HUGS!

Here is what Jacque had to  say:

 

Okay, my friends ... Who would like to PLAY 2013 Creative Pay-it Forward with me?!

The first five people to comment on this status will receive from me, sometime in the next calendar year,a gift of some sort - perhaps some handmade cards, crocheted items, baked goods, etc - definitely something Hand-made, but certainly a surprise!

There will likely be no warning and will happen whenever the mood strikes me.

What's the catch you ask? Those five people must make the same offer in their FB status.

Visit my FB to enter HERE! The first 5 people to make a comment on my FB Share will be my Pay-It Forward recipient:0)
