Prize winner


Tootsie submission below

 Excited...oh yea!! I want to thank the DT for all that they do to make these challenges possible, Thank-you!
Also for my family and friend Trisha for their encouragment to express my art for display. I still have lots to learn from Trisha and all of the artist here and throughout the groups and sites there are... and there are alot. I have choosen from these Elisabeth Bell for one.

I am still numb from the first look at the list. I saw "Tootie" and thought, "Well, maybe?". I clicked on the name and sure enough it was me, Tootsie ! Tootie, Tootsie I'll take the thrill. Thanks again to all * Tootsie *

I had been waiting for inspiration to present itself. I got it from Elisabeth Bell's World challege blog using a box or tote & a Elisabeth Bell stamp.
Susan with bunny that I purchased at Susana's Custom Art and Card Designs.

I used Copic markers, Bazzil paper, stripe paper; gcd studios, Spellbinders; Lacey Circles & Squares, Crocheted flowers made by my sister Suzanne, the other embellishments are from a garage sale of all things!

Little Boys are...

Mo's  1 year on, inspired me with this challenge, for boys stamps only! Well, as us girls know, boys are made of snakes & snails and puppy dog tails and they also get in trouble and need time out...no matter how old!!

My little Grandson, Eli is 3 and the "Time Out" rule applies with great results. Eli is kind, loving, caring and well mannered little guy. I have been thankful to have this time in my life to get to know him and bond.

This card is actually a tag pop-up that lays down, not pop-up. This came about because of the detailing could not be pushed down into the card base so...it just pushes back and fits into a 5X7 envelope.
