Everyone feels pretty in a new pink dress!

Is she just beautiful or what? This is Alota Rubber Stamps - "Shopper Frog". My kind of frog! I can only imagine what she has purchased in all of those bags!

I colored her with my Copics and then white gel pen. And just knew with the "green" tone to her skin that pink was the best color for her dress. LOL!

For the Card I used this weeks Papertake Weekly Challenge Sketch, and it is another of Katharina's great sketches! These are Memory Box papers, love how they all coordinate within a package and the heavy weight of the papers.

I used my sewing machine with both zig zag and straight stitches in pink thread. The mat for the image and the base of the card is Bazzil pink. I went through every ribbon I had and didn't have anything I liked, then found two that fit perfect together, so I stacked them and love how well it matched. Three Prima flower with button centers were added to the bottom corner.

The sentiment is also from Alota Rubber Stamps and is actually part of the new Ladybug set. But seemed to be just what our frog was saying.

I also want to share an award I have received from both Fran and Annie... Sometimes I miss these and don't get the time to post and forward on to others, but loved the theme of this one.

The rules of this award are:

1. Only 5 people allowed.

2. 4 have to be dedicated followers of your blog

3. one has to be someone new or recently new to your blog and live in another part of the world.

4. you must link back to whoever gave you the award.

Quite simple really it is a way of saying thank you to those who take time out for wonderful comments to boost your day.

Here are my Five:

1- Sue - she has been with me since I started my blog and really has been an inspiration and has become a friend. Plus her stuff is just so darn cute!

2- Ila - I think I first started stalking her blog, I just adore her talent! Her coloring is amazing, but she has since become a friend and always makes time to post comments for my stuff and my little donkeys!

3- Claudia - This lady has been my rock... she has been such a sweet friend and not only with her comments on my blog, but our near daily emails back and forth. I love ya Claudia!

4- Patti - "Tennessee" is one of my Fiskateer Buddies and although she is more of a scrapbooker than a card maker she stops by daily to leave me the sweetest comments. She does some great pages and I think with a little shove will become addicted to ATC's and cards! HUGS girlie!
5- Karin - is one of my last Blog Candy winners and she is just so sweet! She leaves the sweetest comments and always ends them with XOXO Thanks!

Well I could have gone on and one, there are so many that leave wonderful kind comments regularly for me. I love each of you!

Off to get the day going... Hope you find some time to craft today!

HUGS and -
