Fashion Girl





Hello! I hope you were one of the lucky ones to have the day off today so you could enjoy a 3-day weekend.

Before I tell you about my Anya card, can I tell you my good news? I made the "Top 3" with my Surfer Ian card in the following two challenges--Die Cuts r Us Design Team Challenge and Whimsy Stamp Challenge. Woohoo!!! I am so grateful to both of them for giving me the opportunity to enter their inspiring challenges !


Today's card will be entered in 5 challenges. It now seems to be my card-making routine to first find a sketch challenge to begin with. This usually helps by giving me a jump start and lays my foundation. Jessica's sketch was fun and easy to work with.




1. Farm Fresh Friday

Sketch 9 by Jessica Diedrich


2. Cute Card Thursday, Challenge 81 - So Charming!
(charm - handbag)

3. Stamp Something - Color Challenge Brown
(Designer Paper - Florence Carriage by Darby)

4. Anyone for Anya? - Perfect Paper Piecing
(The Greeting Farm - Rain Snow Shine Anya stamp)

5. Whimsy Stamps, Challenge 23 - Get Punchy
(Flower - Marvy punch)

Other supplies: Nestabilities; copic markers; adhesive pearls, ribbon and button (from stash).

I really appreciate your stopping by and for any comments you might make. Thanks for looking!
