Just thinking about you...

Hello, how is your day going?  I sure hope it has been a good one!

Here's my latest card share.

I've used one of Krista Smith's Saturated Canary digi images.

She's called "Priscilla Pie," awwwwww, cute name, huh?

I think it matches her "cuteness."

This sweet image was lots of fun to color

because of all the folds and layers in her dress.

I also love the hair on Krista's images!!

Hoppin' by to say...

Happy Easter!!!

I had an opportunity to take a class last Saturday

and had a blast making this card, thanks to the teacher,

Tammie, and the other gals who attended.

As one who rarely uses stamps,

this was both a challenge AND a learning experience!

First of all, I rarely color animals, so that was new,

then toss in using stamps and I felt a bit awkward, but

I had fun and it all turned out fine. LOL

This adorable stamp image is from a set called "Peanut Bunny"
and is a Crafty Clear Stamp from Our Craft Lounge.
You can find it at Memories of Time.
(Please tell Michelle that Marilou sent you!)

Here's the inside:

Here's a side view:

The last photo is, hopefully, close enough that you can see

all the extra embellishing I did when making my card.

See the white sparkly fluff on Peanut Bunny's ears and tail?

See her finger and toenails?  Cute, huh?

Ok, now for all the little details:
