"Stitch of Love"

Good Evening To All! I hope you have had a wonderful day! My day was very productive and creative! This creation is going to be entered into three different challenges. It is such a wonderful image that I picked up at The Stamping Boutique. (I noticed Tracey (owner of The Stamping Boutique) still has her 35% OFF SALE going on! Hurry on over and check out all of her digi images... I am sure you will find some that you will "just have to have"! LOL!)

The first place that this creation will be entered is Sweet Sketch Wednesday. I created it from their awesome sketch (see below). I really had to think on this one, to make all the layers fit on my 6" square card! I am new to digi's and to the 6" square cards, so Arlana (creator of all the sketches) has made learning fun for me! Thanks Arlane! You still have a little time to complete your project and get it submitted! The deadline is tonight at 8pm CST. Come join in the fun!

The second place that I will be entering this creation is Color Me Creative Copic Challenge Ning Group. You must be a member in order to take part in the challenges! This challenge's theme was to color fur. Something that I have had some practice at... but more of my own way! LOL! Thanks Suzanne for teaching me a better technique for blending without loosing the furry look! You still have a few days to become a member and to submit your creation into this challenge! The deadline date and time is January 21, 2011 at 11pm CST! Come join in the fun of learning!

The third challenge that I will be entering is at The Latte Lounge. You must be a member in order to take part in this challenge! This challenge is called "Something New". It could be a new digi image, new technique, new designer paper, or well you get the idea! LOL! Everyone at TLL is really great! A very caring and friendly group of ladies! You have plenty of time to join and take part in this challenge! The deadline is January 24, 2011. Come on over and join in on the fun of creating and chatter!
