It was so nice working with these colors this week!

Here in central Indiana is has been so shockingly cold with so much snow, I needed some brightness to cheer me up.

In this picture you get a good look at the great shimmer from my
background mat.  It is one of the super Hambly Studio Screenprints
from Paper Temptress.  This one is "Chic Circles."

I love the look of pinks and browns together.  It probably goes back to the days of my first job.  All through high school, I worked at a Baskin Robbins ice cream parlor in Nashville, Indiana.  I loved that job!

The mulberry paper rose was purchased on Ebay.

Surrounding the image, I used a flourish stamp from Little Yellow Bicycle to very subtly add a little more pink.

The sentiment stamp is from my stash.  I don't recall the maker.

All other items used to make this card are listed at the bottom of the post.

Hiding in My Craft Room with Little Miss Muffet

Today I'd like to invite you to an all new challenge at

Hiding in My Craft Room.

This week we have the great theme of 

Super Scraps Saturday.

It's time to clean out that scrap bin or clear off your desk.  We want to see what you can do with the bits you have left from previous projects.

Sponsoring our challenge this week is

Little Miss Muffet Stamps

One lucky winner will receive a $6 gift certificate.

I used Little Miss Muffet's way too cute 'Babe Superstar' image.

This digi would work great for a baby boy or baby girl card just by changing up the colors and embellishments you use....love that!!

The sentiment in the star is one that I added.
It's from Recollections' Welcome Baby set.

The charm is one that I found in the Dollar Bin at Michaels.

To achieve the bluish hue around all of the layers, I ran a ProMarker around the edge of each sheet before I distressed them.  The effect was subtle but I really like it.

You can find the card in the following challenges:
A Creative Romance -- Something new
Graph'It -- Anything goes/yellows & blues
Left of Center -- New beginnings
4 Crafty Chicks -- Bows
Divas by Design -- Let's celebrate!
Fab 'n Funky -- Let's celebrate!
I Love ProMarkers -- Add a bow
Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper -- Anything goes
Crafty Sentiments -- New
