Fairy Much Fun!

Hello friends!!
Hello and thanks to the new followers I see as well!  Perhaps shortly I can manage to get a few pretties gathered up to give away to help celebrate 700 followers on my blog! - so be watching for that!
I got a day to myself to play around a bit and so that's what I decided to do today!! YAY!!
(Hopefully I can play around a bit more this weekend...and have some peace and quite! LOL!)

I was really excited to see that I had won a prize from SCACD a few days ago and I've already received my prize!!  This is one of the brand new stamps that were just released too!!
Here's what I came up with using it:
Isn't it adorable!!  I love that tiny little ladybug polishing the fairies nails!!
This image from SCACD is called Polished Beauty designed by Victoria Case.

I also thought I'd try out the Flutter By Wednesday challenge to create the theme for it:
L - 2 or more Layers
O - Odd # of embellishments
V - Violet color (Love this color!!)
E - anything Except the color red
(I think I got it covered?)

I also used a sketch that I think is awesome from an older CCEE Stampers sketch challenge from January of 2010!  Here's what it looks like:
So I also made this creation for the CURRENT CCEE Stampers challenge this week to use a favorite sketch and to use brads on it.  I've used three rhinestone brads.

Here are also some other challenges that I'd like to enter this one for:
The Crazy Challenge - Fairies
Crafty Cardmakers - Monochrome Magic
Crafts & Me - use a new image
Charisma Cardz - Things with Wings
Crafts 4 Eternity - Raspberry Delight

Hope you've enjoyed my creation and I think I'll be staying inside this weekend away from the cold and play some more in my craft room!!  I hope you all have a great weekend!!
Thanks so much for dropping in and see you soon!!  HUGS & SMILES!
