This is a little late as it was supposed to be posted on Wednesday but here it is any way :)  I used the tutorial by Mariska on the Copic Marker Europe blog

and a side view (not the best quality but I think you can see the layers)

I definitely will do this again and know what I did wrong this time to change for the next.  I hope you like it and don’t forget to join in on the challenge over at Whimsy

Whimsy Stamps Design Team Call

Have you seen the stamps over at Whimsy?  They are just adorable!  So when I saw that they were having a design team call I thought I would try out for it.  One of the requirements for the application was to post three of our favorite projects.

So my first one is a layout of Abby at the pumpkin patch.  Everything about this layout came together perfectly and I had so much fun putting it together.  Looking at this again, reminds me that I need to get working on her scrapbooks.  She was one here and is now three--oops :)

The second item I choose to show is my first card for Bugaboo Stamps.  I love the pastel colors of the paper and how elegant it looks.

The third item I choose is this easel card box that I created for The Greeting Farm's team challenge.  During this challenge I wanted to push myself and create something that I had never done before and this was the outcome.  The box ended up becoming a prized possession of a little girl who was told it was her "secret box" and each drawer held her secrets that only her and the little girl on the top knew about--how cute!

and I'm going to throw in a couple more that rank up there as well :)
