"Marie Antoinette"

Good Afternoon To All! It is June 1st, and oh so busy for me! LOL! How about all of you? So many things to get updated and posted! Whew! I am getting it all done! Yay!

Today, I have lots of information to share with you along with my creation! Let's see where to start...

Paper Creations Ink has their Challenge #2 up and ready for you join in! The theme of the challenge is "Ribbon or Lace"! You can create any type of paper project as long as you use ribbon or lace on it! The Stamping Boutique is sponsoring this challenge and the prize is 3 free digi images of your choice! Isn't that so cool? I think so, but since I am involved with both places... that makes it double exciting for me! This challenge will run from today until Tuesday, June 14, 2011 at 11:59pm CST. (A quick FYI... Be sure to check the Challenges Tab for all the guidelines for the challenge! We sure wouldn't want you to miss out on the prize for not following the guidelines!)

The Stamping Boutique Group at Simply Scrapping Crafts, Challenge #3 is up and ready for you also. The theme of that challenge is "Ribbon or Lace". Hmmm... coincidence? No, not really... We were looking to make it easy on some of the Design Team Members that are on the same teams! (Hee-Hee) This challenge will run from today until Thursday, June 30, 2011 at midnight. (Just an FYI... You MUST be a member of Simply Scrapping Crafts and The Stamping Boutique Group!)

Now as you most likely have figured out, my creation is an inspiration for places! I used the beautiful "Marie Antoinette" image found in the Whimsical Inspiration area in The Stamping Boutique Store! Let me know what you think of this image and creation!
