Q is for 'Quiliting'

Hey gang! I feel like I've been absent for weeks, but it's only been 4 days! I'm battling something nasty in my chest and throat now and just in time for Spring Break next week!! Hopefully I feel better by the week-end!

This week's challenge at ABC Challenge is to incoroporate quiliting in your creation, be it real/faux stitching or your papers. We are sponsored by the Stamp Fairy this week, and the winner will win a $9.00 voucher for her images. This little cutie is called Lenny with flowers.

I also wanted to let you know that I am stepping down from the ABC design team, as I am involved in  whirlwind of activities during and after school. I've got my courses twice a week in the city, kiddies' after school actitvities-it's basically mayhem and I just didn't want to be producing rubbish for them, when I have so little time. Sorry to dissappoint any of you.

I'm entering the following challenges: A Spoonfull of Sugar (ribbon, jewels, pearls and flowers), Going Grey with Scrap-Creations (Spring has Sprung), Kaboodle Doodles (yellow, pink, blue and green,) Stamp with Fun (Spring), and Stamping Scrapping Central (pastels).

Hey all! I don't know if you're like me, but I have an obsession with gingerbread-I have knick-knacks, games, lotions, soap, candles, books, a thematic unit that I planned for my class and now: super-cute digi images from Pink Cat Studio! There's even a freebie if you order today!Yay! I had fun making these guys, but I didn't want to add too much froo-froo, as it takes away from the cuteness of the images. I used liquid glass on their hands and stickles on their buttons, but you can't tell! Wah! I wanted you all to see this adorable Christmas gingerbread ribbon from Michaels. I fell in love with it and had to have it!! The candy stickers are from Martha Stewart-my holiday hero!! Hope u like!
