Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #85 - Material Girl!!

 OMGoodness..

This week has gone by SO fast, as this whole year has. I kinda

feel like I turn around and time has just gone that little bit faster

and the thing you were looking forward to has come and gone in

the blink of an eye and you have to focus on the next thing...

Ummm... Maybe getting older isn't a good thing... Or, is it what

you make of it and you should just enjoy the ride?...I think I will go

with that scenario...I must say a huge "Thank you" to all my family

and friends who helped me celebrate entering the "40 Club"...And for

those who sent me really sweet wishes...You made my day!!

 Now...On to business!!

This week's Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge is hosted by our 

gorgeous colouring queen Melanie..This lady has a really special gift

when it comes to colouring images, she blows me away every time

I see her work. AND it's not only her colouring...She is just so

gorgeously sweet!! Anywhoo, Mel is channeling Madonna this week..

 she would like you to use a MATERIAL GIRL on your creation!!

This is my card...

Ok, I have a confession (I really do confess a lot on this blog!!)

I was happy making this card and it was flowing and falling into 

place and I was having the nicest time...When I suddenly remembered

that the whole point of the card was to have material on it!! Oh NO!! 

I forgot...So I had to pull it all apart and add some..So you can see

this piddly little bit of lace at the bottom is my offering...Sorry Mel!!

This gorgeous new Asian inspired lady is Sakura which means

Cherry Blossom. She is designed by our awesome Annie Rodrigue.

The image is approximately 3.5x1.75 inches and you will receive

this gorgeous stamp in deeply etched unmounted grey rubber.Sakura  

costs only $8.00 from the Kraftin' Kimmie Store and comes with an

co-ordinating sentiment  "Go With All You Heart".

The papers are from Como Crickets "Circa 1934" 6x6 paper

pad. The border punch is from EK Success.

 As you can see I paper pieced Sakura's gown but the rest I coloured

in with my Prisma pencils.

 And then finished the card of with a "Happy Birthday" sentiment

from Kimmie's Everyday Sentiment Set and some left over papers.

 Now, Kimmie has some really exciting news fro you all...
