MIDNIGHT MADNESS (MMSC56)

Happy Tuesday everyone!

I hope your Memorial Day weekend was a good one spent with family and friends! Here it is time for Midnight Madness again and this time we are on sketch number 56! First I need to introduce you to our new Guest DT's   

                        Pam Lawver

Pam says "The main reason I first got into stamping was to scrapbook events and activities for my 2-year old son who has autism to assist with his language and communication skills. He is now almost 12 - I can't believe it!! I was a legal secretary for years and needed a creative outlet. So, it served 2 purposes. It, of course, didn't help my financial situation at all, but that's another story!! It then shifted more to cards several years ago. I found that when I handmade a card for my friends, family, church members and my son's school staff I could brighten their day and make them feel "special", for whatever occasion it happened to be, or comfort when they needed it. My craft room has grown CONSIDERABLY as I'm sure all of yours have too. It's great therapy for me and I've met some of the most incredible people EVER!"                                                         

Brenda Kluge

She says "I am a mother of 2 beautiful kids ages 20 and 9. I took up card making about 1 year ago and instantly fell in love with it! I joined the Midnight Madness Challenges a few months ago and the sketches, players, and design team have really made me open up to try different things. I am really looking forward to this experience to work side by side with these ladies"

For this weeks sketch I decided to make a little gift set for a new baby using this darling image from Shawne over at Studio313 creations. It comes already colored or you can get a black line image of it to color yourself.

I couldn't resist making another easel card as I didn't want to overload the main image with the little embellishments. This way I added the safety pins and peg onto the bottom half without taking the attention away from the sweet baby image!

Whilst covering the little box I thought of a ballerina's dress, so added some wider ribbon around the bottom to frill out to look like the bottom of the dress. Did I manage that effect ok?

Here's a closeup of the top of the box...isn't it cute? I love this image so much, especially as it's set against a black background, it really makes the baby stand out beautifully! Thank you Shawne for creating such cute digi's!
