Scrapping4Fun - #32 Winter/Summer

Hello and welcome to another challenge at Scrapping4fun.  Hopefully you are getting everything ready for Christmas, because it's coming up fast.  I love the family time and can't wait until we have our cookie decorating fun.  Every year I bake and most of it is given away.  I bake a bunch of sugar cookies and the kids and I see who can decorate the best, unique and funny cookies.  It's my favorite part of Christmas!

Back to the challenge.  We have an inspiration pic for you.

After seeing the kitty cat, I knew which stamp to use.  It's been sitting in the box for awhile and has never seen ink.

This little cutie from My Favorite Things, called Take the Plunge.  They no longer sell Doodle Garden stamps there and she closed her online shop because she had a busy schedule with new contacts with her Doodle Garden images.  You can still find some online through other companies.  I stamped her a few times, so I could layer the image.  This cutie was colored with my water color pencils and regular color pencils. The big dot paper behind the image reminded me of watermelon.

Here you can see the layers.  The flowers were a pain, I had to make sure I had the right flower laying on top before I glued it down.  I like how the 3D looks, but it can take some time fussy cutting all the pieces you want to layer.

Here's the inside.

thanks for looking and reading :o)   Merry Christmas !
