"Elegance & Class"

Good Afternoon Everyone! How was your weekend? Mine was very busy and HOT! We did get a few storms, but they didn't cool it off much! LOL! 

Today, I have a very special creation to share with you! It is special because it is the first picture I have created using Prisma Colored Pencils as my medium! I am planning on doing more pictures in the future! I will of course still do some cards; but I am really enjoying working on pictures! This was created for Paper Creations Ink Challenge #6 ~ "Stitching Theme". What we are looking for are ALL TYPES of creations that have stitching on them, whether it is by hand, using a sewing machine, faux stitching or even stitching on your ribbon! After all the Christmas/Holiday creations we thought it would be a good idea to take a step back from the holiday and go with a technique! This challenge will run from today until Sunday, July 14, 2011 at 7pm CST! I hope that you will join us!

Now... I will share who our sponsor is...

(drum roll... please...)

Stitchy Bear Stamps has so graciously offered a $10.00 gift voucher to their online store for one lucky winner! Isn't that awesome? (I thought it was kinda cute that we would be holding a "Stitching Challenge" for Stitchy Bear Stamps to sponsor! I know... I am kinda corny! LOL!) So get out those stitching supplies and come on over and join us!!
