You Choose at Belles 'n Whistles Challenge!

Happy Monday to you friends!  I hope that you've all enjoyed a great weekend!

Still here trying to get over my cold, but I think I'll be getting better soon...still taking meds.

So anyway, today starts another FUN challenge over on the

Belles 'n Whistles Challenge Blog!! YAY!

Our lovely and talented Iris would like for us to pick our Favorite Color / Color Combination for the challenge project! Use one color or several, whatever your favorite is! We are looking forward to seeing all of the beautiful color combinations!  So here are what MY fave colors are:

This yummy color combo is actually something quite new to me for this year.  I've fallen in LOVE with the Stampin' Up! new In Colors for this year which, here, are called Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder.  For those of you that know me I'm sure KNEW that a shade of purple had to be in there somehow, huh?!  I think I pretty much bought up all of the matching papers, brads and ribbons in these colors too!! LOL!

For the darling image I've used on my creation, you may recognize it on my blog from my signature line area that my lovely BnW teamie Lynda made up for me! :)  I adore it!  But she can be found over at Belles 'n Whistles in clear stamp form called Country Ride! (I see that she is out of stock at the moment, but I'm sure that Summer will be getting some more in very shortly...be sure to grab all of your faves!)  She reminds me of when I was a child riding all over town in my bike!  I was gone all day long riding around...it really brings back some fun memories for me as do many of Elisabeth Bell's designs!

I've also included this in a few other challenges:

Elphine House - Scrap It (used scraps for my "handmade buttons" & punched out pieces) - must use an Elisabeth Bell image

The Pixie Cottage - Sketch & theme of Brads, Buttons and Bows

Crafts & Me - stripes

Stampin' for the Weekend - What a cutie!

Fussy 'n' Fancy Fridays - new technique (made my own buttons)

Totally Papercrafts - thank you

Paper Sundaes - anything goes

So I hope you like my creation for the Belles 'n Whistles Challenge!  Be sure to join in with us this time!!  There is always a great prize up for grabs, a top 3 with one of those being our guest designer for a month!  Talk about some fantabulous offers! :)  *Don't forget that you will need to use any Elisabeth Bell image and if you use a Belles 'n Whistles stamp and upload it to the awesome BnW photo gallery that your name will go into the drawing TWICE for a prize!!*  I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

I'll be back in a bit for a House Mouse challenge and prize winner reveal!!!

Thanks for dropping in this morning! :)
