Scrappy Challenge

Hello Friends!
I want to tell you about a brand new challenge blog called DATS Designing Divas. This blog is run by a good friend, Donna who is also the owner of DATS Scrapbooking here in Thunder Bay, ON. Donna and her Divas kicked off the new blog with a fabulous blog hop that had a super prize, and I won!

 So, I wanted to use the scrumptious goodies I won and could hardly wait to ink up this fabulous stamp that is the image of my card. You can see their 1st challenge, Happy Scrappy Day, and all of the fabulous samples from the DT. Be sure to stop by for a peak.

Here is the card I made using some of my awesome blog hop candy:


I am also entering this card in 365 Cards Day 56 - Loud. The bright colours I chose to work with on this card are fairly outside the box for me, lol. Simon Says Stamp has the challenge right now of Anything Goes so this card will definitely enter their as well.   I am also entering this card into Pile It On's Challenge #18 Mother's Day.....But....No Flowers; not even on the ribbon, patterned paper, nowhere.  Now THAT was very hard for me....lol. A card for a female but NO FLOWERS?!? I managed it, with great difficulty.
For this card I used the following items:
Recollections - pink & green cardstock
Jillibean Soup - patterned paper
Celebrate It - ribbon
Basic Grey - buttons
Stampin' Up - twine
Dollarama - gems
Wilton - doily
Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - "The Krafty Stamper" image
Copic Markers - B02, B06, B12, BG07, C1, C3, C5, E000, E23, E31, E33, R000, R46, RV06, Y06, YG41, YR07 & the Blender pen as well.

Thanks for stopping in to visit.
Hugs xo
