Have you ever...

Made a card and thought it was so cute that you didn't want to give it away? :s

I have:

Supplies:  Crate Paper patterned paper, Bazzill Basics cardstock, Pink Petticoat digital stamps, General watercolour pencils, Prima flowers, Making Memories crystal brads, miscellaneous ribbon.

Of course, the possibility of getting a less than desirable answer to the sentiment question may be part of the reason... :)

I used these adorable digital stamps from Pink Petticoat.  And Ella, her rockin' blue dress & bow, and the sentiment are pop-dotted for dimension:

I discovered Pink Petticoat a while ago, while surfing, and ooh'ed and ahh'ed over her designs for a while before I noticed that she has some freebies on her blog (right sidebar, under Free Gifts).

Still, I just admired them on my computer.

One day, I decided to print a bunch out on white cardstock.  I gathered my watercolour pencils, and Aili and I happily coloured and painted all day while at the pool during Connor's WOSA championship swim meet in early June.

And still, no card.

Finally, I was motivated to use the end result (mine, not hers! :)) in a card to fulfil the requirements for a design team application.

And in searching the Pink Petticoat site for the links above, I couldn't resist purchasing and downloading these to add to my collection:

Lola Rose - Pretty

You're Grrreat

Time to sharpen my watercolour pencils...
