Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog - #54 Anything Goes

I'm so HAPPY for warmer weather and enjoying being outside.  Hopefully some of you are enjoying your weather too.  We also have a mama cat that starting coming around to eat this past fall and we noticed she was pregnant, so we bought her some kitten food (she was eating the dogs food that we leave outside for when our older dog likes to sit outside smoking his pipe and drinking his bitter).  Now we have 4 playful kittens coming up to eat and sleep on our outside furniture.  When it was cold, we set out a heat lamp for for them to stay warm with a blanket in a box. Love watching them play :o)

Anyway, I hope you are ready to play in our next challenge at Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog.  It's the one everyone likes....Anything Goes, but remember you MUST have some stamping on your project.

We have 3 wonderful sponsors for out challenge and that means 3 wonderful winners!!

The winner will receive 7 images of choice.

The winner will receive $15 of images of choice.

The winner will receive 3 images of choice.

For this challenge I used the image from Sparkle N Sprinkle, Isabelle Hat Lady.  I love vintage design, but struggle with completion of the project sometimes.  I'm pretty happy with the way this card turned out.  I colored the image with my Prismacolor pencils.  There are 3 layers of dp, which is unusual for me.  The vintage button came from 3 Girl Jam, as well as the ribbon.

Here's a closer look of the image.  I've been taking an online coloring class from Kit and Clowder and have enjoyed it immensely.  The image looks much smoother in real life.  

Here's the inside of this card!  It will be going to "Mimi" (grandmother) for her 90th birthday coming up.

thanks for looking and reading :o)
