from EK Success, my go-to EF 'Swiss Dots'
from Cuttlebug and the new
'Leaves & Swirls' EF from Sizzix.

So let's talk prizes!

I had so much fun putting the card together for this week's...

I absolutely LoVe the color story that our 

Senior Designer Ruby 2 Shoes chose.

I also had a ball playing with the image provided by

this week's sponsor....

I stamped the image of 'Ian' and paper-pieced

his wardrobe using DP from Nikki Sivils and DCWV.

I am not a 'colorer' at heart, but I do love to pull out

my chalks and this was the perfect opportunity

to give 'Ian' a complexion and a lovely head of hair!

I can't wait to see the entries for this week's challenge!
