Friday Sketcher's Challenge #61

Special wishes - love the sentiment and this adorable Tilda! This challenge allowed me to use the huge scallop die cut from Stampin Up. Can't go wrong with the Basic Grey designer paper, nestabilities rectangles, little Marvy scallop punch for sentiment....pearls, pearls, pearls! and I had these little star buttons from somewhere - clipped off the back of the buttons so they would lay flat. It worked - now I will stalk the stores for sales on old buttons :) I didnt have enough of the star buttons to put them to the side of the image (as the sketch showed), so I used scrap ribbon. Dotted Stickles through out the blooms on the paper and all over her wings.

Not sure if I will be stamping any more this week ...bummer!!! very busy time at work right now. However, I am so excited about this weekend. Several friends and I are headed to North Carolina to stay with dear friends AND go to the stamping convention in Winston-Salem. This also means a trip to the Enchanted Cottage!! Have been saving my money for weeks - the Enchanted Cottage alone will kill my credit card LOL. If you've never been to the EC...GO...and prepare yourself! You will be overwhelmed with choices on everything to do with cardmaking or scrapbooking. Will take some pictures of the place and convention and post them next week.

Thanks for stopping by - please say Hello and comments are always appreciated !!!!!!
