Wow! How's that for excitement? Well, we've got more in store! Today is the first day of previews for our February release stamps! We've got lots of new Annie images, four new Emmylou and Friends images from Crissy Armstrong and two adorable Cindy and Mindy images from Jean Grant! OH and there's another FAB set of sentiments to coordinate with a certain theme we've got goin' on, by the totally awesome, Jeanne Streiff!



Now on to my card featuring Alicia!! I stamped the girlie on Neenah cardstock using Memento ink and coloured her with Copic markers! Shocking, I know! The papers I used for inspiration are from Doodlebug and I was fortunate enough to find some with strawberries on it! (If you saw my craft room, you'd know what a feat that was!) The card base is Close to Cocoa with Pixie Pink for matting. I used some new Nesties to cut out Alicia and emboss her and then sponged around her with some chalk ink. I tied on some polka dotted pink satin ribbon and added a fun strawberry charm! I stamped the perfect sentiment (from our new Pirates Sentiments set) on some Soft Sky cardstock, added some Prima Caboodles flowers and finished it off with a few pink rhinestones! Ain't she a sassy wench??! So cute!
