Good Morning!
No, this isn't a joke, yes, I am posting 2 days in a row!!! LOL!!! First off, did you see this REALLY cool Color Cubbie give-a-way on Wee Memories blog? I have been looking for storage for my Copics and am thinking this will work perfectly!!! I am SURE I will win because yesterday, I received an email from Diego Felipe Gonzalez Patino advising me that I WON $500,000 in the Mega Ball Lottery and you know what the cool thing about it is??? I DIDN'T EVEN PLAY!!!! Wow, how did Diego know how to find me?!?! Well, it doesn't matter how he found me but it does matter that I WON and am SURE that I will win this Color Cubbie as well!!!! LOLOLOLOL!!!
OK, enough about my good fortune and on to my card! Today's Crazy challenge is a sketch and our wonderful hostess this month is Silke Kittmann. Check out the Crazy blog for the details!
The base of this card is Select White with a mat of Early Espresso and then Kraft. I stamped the flowers and butterflies {from Verve's Egg-stra Special set}, using Snow White ink. I punched the bottom of the MME Gertie DP strip using my Martha Stewart daisy {I think} punch, added some clear rhinestones, a strip of Select White at the top and the MME Loves me DP which I cut using my Labels Fourteen Spellbinder die. The sentiment, basket, chick and basket are from Verve's Chicks Rule set. The Chick {Select White}, Basket {Kraft} and sentiment {MME Loves Me DP} were all stamped using Early Espresso ink. I cut the basket out, added the grass {Martha Stewart punch and MME Gertie DP} and a button on the bow. The chick was cut out, her cheeks colored using a pencil, used Elmer's glue to add Martha Stewart white flock and finally added a flower cut from the DP in her hair. This piece was then mounted using dimensionals.
Here's a closer look ~
That will do it for me today! I need to make room in my craft room for my new Color Cubbie!!! LOLOL!!! Be sure to check out the Crazies creations, you won't be sorry!!!

LOVE this Lynda!! That little fuzzy chick is perfect - I have to get some of that white ink, my SU white craft ink never looks white it sinks in and becomes the color of the paper it is stamped on. Such pretty DP & layout too.
