Pretty Hat Anya

Hello! Hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween as we did. My oldest son LOVES Halloween and went all out again this year with his decorations in his front yard--and it just gets more and more spectacular every year! But what surprised me most this year was that my younger son came to the party in costume! Now that was a first! I told him I was relieved to see that he'll be a fun dad when the time comes. I thought he was going to be an old fuddy-duddy, LOL! (I can say whatever, I don't think he reads my blog, hee hee.)

Now for my card. Would you believe I found 7 challenges that I can enter my Pretty Hat Anya in? Starting with a sketch and the color challenge, they are:

1. Create 4 Fun Challenge - Sketch

2. Little C's Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii Aloha Friday Challenge - Pink n' Black

3. One Stop Craft Challenge 53 - Newspaper/Text

4. PaperPlay Challenges 09 - Parlez Vous, any language other than English

5. Papertake Weekly Challenge - Spots 'n' Stripes

6. Crafty Cardmakers Challenge 7 - Stamp Something

7. Saturday Spotlight With Hidden Potential! - In So Many Words

It was such a coincidence that 3 challenges had text as their criteria. I don't know what the language on the background DP is but I do know it's not English. I colored Anya with Copic Markers and used white opal Liquid Pearls on her necklace.

My sister-in-law is ill right now so I'll be sending her this "we're thinking of you" card. I hope it can cheer her up a bit.

Thanks so much for spending some of your precious time with me. I really appreciate it!
