Hi everyone! It's Tuesday and I'm BAAAACKKK with Mercy's Sketch Challenge!! I can't tell you how excited I am! My hubby is back at work after breaking his foot and is still on light duty, but will be back to full duty in three weeks! There is a lot to get to in this post because I not only have my sketch sample to show you, but I also have a few pics from CHA! So let's get to it!
I took some liberty with the sketch by adding the oval panel over the lower square, but I so love this card! I don't say that often, but this card just makes me happy! I stamped the adorable Flower Girl Pure Innocence stamp in Memento Black ink on PTI White, colored her in with Copic Markers and cut her out with Classic Oval and Scallop Oval Nestabilities. Before removing the image from the die, I sponged some So Saffron ink around the edges with a sponge. If you click on this picture, you can see the red Martha Stewart glitter that I added to the hearts, stripes, flower centers and shoes with a Sakura Quickie Glue Pen. The DP is Love Me Do by My Mind's Eye. This card also qualifies for the My Favorite Things February Guest Designer Contest. The challenge for the contest is to Think Spring! I think this is Springy! To finish off the card I added some adhesive rhinestones, machine stitching, and a ribbony button bow!
Don't forget to check out the rest of the Muse's and give a big 'ol welcome to this month's Guest Muse, Anya Schrier!

Now onto some CHA Pictures!!
This is a pic of the Taylored Expressions girls in the TE booth! They were all amazing! (from left to right: Karen Giron, Jami Sibley, Jodi Collins, Karen Motz and Taylor VanBruggen....that's shorty me in the front in green!)
Here we are in the booth again with the AMAZING Lisa Johnson and Harriet Skelly (hskelly on SCS). Lisa was such a class act and SO NICE! And Harriet was always there to snap a picture! She was so sweet! (Back row left to right: Taylor VanBruggen, Jodi Collins, Karen Motz, Sankari Wegman. Front left to right: Me, Lisa Johnson, Harriet Skelly.)
Sorry for the blurriness on this picture, but look who I met! That's Broni Holcomb, Joan Ervin and Jenn Balcer with Jodi, Karen and I!! Amazing ladies and all SO NICE! I couldn't get over how NICE everyone was!
And last but not least was Heather Rolin! Heather used to own H&M Stamps and now designs for Unity. She is SUCH A HOOT! We hit it off immediately! She's a shorty like me and look here....we're color coordinated! LOL~ (Sorry for the blurriness again!!)
Well, that's all for now! I hope you all have a great day!
