Rocks for Sale...

Isn't she just the cutest little darlin' EVER?!

Hi friends...can you believe it's Thursday again?! And y'know what that means? It means we're getting ready for another fun challenge at Mo Manning's DP2 Challenge Blog!! Once again this week, own very own talented Design Teamie, Cathy, is our Hostess! She'd like us to make a paper treasure of some sort using Spring colors...AND a handmade flower!! Whoooohooo...Spring!! And boy am I ready for Spring...but not nearly as ready as my sister, Dee...who is knee deep in SNOW!! YIKES! So this Spring card is dedicated to Dee...just keep thinking about April in Vegas...and you'll survive another Minnesota winter, sweetie! LOL!

This week I chose one of my fave Mo Manning images...(I know, I know...I say that about EACH & EVERY ONE of Mo's images, don't I?!!) This little cutie patootie is called "Rocks for Sale"...and she's available at Mo's online store HERE.

I used some fun new Vintage Spring DPs from Stampin' Up...and used some matching fabric and a button (also available from SU) to make my handmade flower! Here's how I decorated the inside - using a Martha Stewart lattice punch and a fun Sizzix tag die that slips in (and out of) the lattice trellis fence...

And another fun view...you can really appreciate the dimension in this shot! I love these little (Martha Stewart) butterflies, don't you?!

Here's the rest of my "recipe"...
Cardstock: Certainly Celery, Baja Breeze, & Garden Green for leaves(SU)
Sentiment: 100 Proof Press w/Wild Wasabi (SU) ink
Rick rack, ribbon, & pearls: stash
Stickles on the butterflies

So...you know what comes next, right? First you pop on over to Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog HERE to drool over the gorgeous goodies made by my fabulously talented Design Teamies....

And then, you pull out your own "Springy" papers and markers, inks, etc., and create your own little masterpiece. Remember to use at least one of Mo's absolutely precious images...and throw on a fun or funky handmade flower. Then enter it into Challenge #71 at Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog. After that, all you need to do is keep your fingers crossed...and maybe, just maybe, you'll be this week's lucky recipient (chosen at random) of one of Mo's images...yep...free!! Seriously can't get much better than that, right?!

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit...your comments always make me smile! Until next time, sweet friends....
