CRAFTING LIFE'S PIECES FIRST CHALLENGE!




Hello Everyone.......TGIF!!!

I can't believe how fast this week has flown by and we are almost at the weekend already!! I hope you all enjoyed your week and have something exciting planned for your days off.

Last night we went computer researching!! Oh what fun that was! I think it's finally time to give this one a rest and invest in a laptop that will at least cooperate with us. We'd love the apple computer but the funds aren't there right now....so we will settle for something a little less expensive! As long as the computer doesn't give me any hassle...I will be fine!!

OK, now on to my card....this one was made for the very talented and sweet Chelsea Dang for her first challenge on her blog "Crafting Life's Pieces". If you haven't checked her blog out yet.....what are you waiting for?? Chelsea makes the most beautiful scrapbook/memory book pages and cards too, her details are absolutely amazing and what I love about her is that some of her cards and layouts are made for charity....something I would like to get into.

This beautiful image is by the very talented Inger Harding from Norway, whom I just discovered a couple of days ago. Please take some time to check out her gorgeous creations too. I just loved this image and wanted to keep it as close to original as possible, so colored it very delicately with prismacolored pencils just to give a little color. I added some sparkly mod Podge on the edges, window and dress to give a little sparkle. The paper is from DCWV - the Rustic stack, flowers are from Prima - fabric fancies and nursery tales, ribbon from my stash, pearl gems from Recollections.
Let me know what you think!
Hugs,
Charlotte
