Fun Filled Friday!!!

  Yippee!   I just LOVE Fridays -- always have and hopefully, always will.   I especially enjoy when it's a new release day and when I have three wonderful new cards to share with you today and all three were created with brand new digi images that launched today!!

   I am starting with a wonderful new release from Baby Bud Designs!   We are very happy to have another wonderful 'double' release this month an I'm so excited to share two new 'Buds' today.  The first is a wonderfully sweet little Bud and she is Baby Bouquet and is perfect for spring and summer.  She is all dressed up for a prom, a wedding or a very special event.  I have colored her up for you today and dressed her as a little Bride or Flower Girl, carrying her sweet little bouquet of pink spring flowers!! 

     Sweet little Baby Bouquet is being submitted to these new challenges!  Please join me!

• Dutch Dare Card Challenge - Challenge # 10 - Sparkle Glitter Bling
• Shelly's Images - Show us what you Got!!
• Digital Tuesday - Challenge # 98 - Use a Die Cut

     I am equally excited and very happy to introduce you to our second new Baby Bud and he is Oliver, who also has been added to the Etsy Store today!   I love them and if I had to pick a favorite, I'm not sure I could, as they both so sweet and adorable.    This is my first card featuring Oliver and I hope you'll enjoy him as much as I do.

  My wonderful new Oliver card is being submitted to these fun challenges:

• Craft Us Crazy - Challenge # 2 - Brrr Its' Cold Outside - Winter

   I hope you'll have some fun with both of the cuties and that reminds me, that you still have time for use one of both of them and join in on our current 'Friend Challenge' which runs through Wednesday, February 23rd.  You can find all the details on our blog HERE!   Please be sure to come back next Friday, February 25th , for a special surprise and a brand new challenge too!

    And after you have had fun meeting the newest Baby Buds, I would like to invite you over to StampFairy for another new release and this is 'Clementine Carrots'.  A wonderful new release of this sweet bunny that I also think is perfect for Spring or Easter.  The design team has created some adorable new cards to share on the blog, and you can also find the entire release in the StampFairy store today!

   This is my very first creation with on of the new images from the adorable Clementine Carrots collection.   I started by printing her out on several different digital backgrounds and then paper-pieced together part of her outfit and colored the rest with Copics.  I then used my new 'Grand Calibur' with one of the Eyelet Square Nestabilities to cut out my completed image.  I finished it off with a layer of 3d Crystal Accents and put everything together to create this fun happy card!  I hope you'll enjoy it!!

   My sweet little Clementine card is also being submitted to these fun new challenges !

   I hope you are now all focused on fun new spring ideas and colors.  I'm so ready for winter to be over and very much looking forward to warmth, sunshine and being able to open to the windows!!  I  can't wait for Spring to be here!!  Wishing you a very happy Friday and for those in the U.S. a nice long Holiday Weekend, as we celebrate 'President's Day' on Monday!!
