From the Heart..

Hi all! And a very Happy New Year to you! Hope it's filled with love, laughter, good health and prosperity for everyone! 8-) Today I am back with our very first Stamps R Us challenge post for the New Year! Yay! 8-)  Today our Theme is "Show us what you got or Anything goes". Lol..In other words, we thought it might be fun for everyone to create a card/project using any crafty items you may have received for Christmas.. And of course if you didn't, then by all means make an "Anything goes" type of creation. 8-) Our Wonderful Sponsor is The Stamping Boutique. And let me tell you, Their images are just too Darling to resist & They are having a Fantastic New Years Sale to boot, so please do stop by and check them out. Also, Christy has put together a very generous prize package for one lucky winner, so I sure hope you can play along with us.  And please stop by the Stamps R Us Blog to take a peek at the Wonderful creations the rest of the Fabulously Talented Design Team has in store for you! 8-)
I was so pleased  to have been given the Darling Tulips digi image to work with, it's just so Sweet and Cheery! I printed it out onto Flourishes Classic White  & colored it up with my trusty Copics, of course 8-). I cut out my Cute little tulips & matted them up with the help of my Classic Circles and Heart Circles Nesties sets. I added a bit of shading with my Antique Linen Distress Ink to my image while the die was still in place and then popped it up with a few dimensionals. My BG panels were created with a combination of dp's from Making Memories Je T'Adore pack, some digi dps from Carina Gardner's Courtyard set and Digi dp's from Anne Langpap's PupPea Love Set as well. My I/O Sentiment was stamped onto a Darling little die cut tag with Victorian Velvet Distress ink. And to finish it all up I used the Sweet EK Success Border punch and Pretty little heart button that my DH put in my Christmas Stocking this year.. What a Sweetie, huh?...8-) And lastly I tide it all up with a Cute little bow made from three different colors of Yummy Bakers twine from MAD Stamper Finds..8-)

Hope you all have a Wonderful Day! & Thanks so much for dropping by! 
Thanks for stopping by!
