Just Because....

Here we are in the middle of January, and I have just realized that I haven't posted since Christmas.  Wow! Not that I haven't been keeping myself busy with some crafty stuff, as a matter of fact, you will be seeing a few posts from me this week....  For today, I have a little cutie to share with you, I've made this one to share over on The Digi Bells Inspiration blog today.  I've used "Little Lamb" from Elisabeth Bell's Digital Collection.

 I've used both Copics, and Prisma colored pencils for my coloring.  What I love about this darling digi, is that even though it appears to be a beautiful "Easter" or "Spring" image, it truly can be used for any time...  (well, maybe not winter) LOL  I decided to make this a "Just Because" card... Just because it's the perfect card to give when you just want to show someone you are thinking about them, or maybe even just to say hello. 

The flower was made using both a large and medium size paper punches EKSuccess "Retro Flowers".  I punched them from plain white cardstock, and inked them to match the papers that I used.  These papers are from Maja Designs from Sweden, and called "Vintage Frost Basics".  I'm a lucky duck... I received this paper pad from my Secret Santa, so I just HAD to use some of them.  Not ALL of the papers are wintery (as you can see)

Challenges that I've decided to enter:

• Bunny Zoe's Crafts - Stitching
• Inky Impressions Challenge - Something New (my papers)
• Papertake Weekly - New Year, New Stash (my papers)
• Simply Create Too - Anything Goes
• Outlawz Challenges - Paper Ala mode - "Fancy Smancy"

BEFORE I GO

The Digi Bells will be having a Blog Hop THIS WEEK -  Friday, January 17th...

You will for sure love her as much as I do.  I promise!  =)
