"Magical Moments"

Good Evening To All! How are all of you this fine Thursday evening? I am so ready for Friday to get here and the weekend to start! (Hee-Hee) The Easter Bunny should be coming to my home this weekend! I hope he makes a stop at yours too!

Anyways, I have another creation to share with you! This beautiful image is by The Stamping Boutique called "The Fairies Frolic". (You will notice that my little girl fairy does not have a scarf and the one in the store does.) What makes this creation so special is... I made my own Designer Paper! I have not done this in a long time! LOL! You will see below what the whole Designer Paper looked like before I put the card together. The stamp set that I used to create it is called "Now And Always". It is an Ippity Set by Unity Stamps.
