For my card tonight, I used the SUPER cute new Dress Up Diva set. Isn't she ADORABLE!! I stamped her on X-Press It Blending Card, and then colored her with my Copics. I then layered her with Cotton Candy, Lemon Drop, and Blu Raspberry. I used this past week's MFT sketch again, which I LOVED! My paper is from the MME Quite Contrary line, my ribbon is old MFT, and my brads are from Michael's. The First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics was used for my sentiment, and I used the new Circle Stax Die-namics(along with the Open Scalloped Doily Duo) for my circle panel. My border is the Little Open Scalloped Border Die-namics. TO finish it off, I used the Flower Trio and Leaf Trio Die-namics for my flowers...I thought they looked a lot like the flower on her hat!


For the inside, I used the same supplies!

I am still working on teacher projects, so I chose to go with the SUPER CUTE new a la mode-An Apple For Teacher. I stamped her on X-Press It Blending Card, and then colored her with my Copics. She was layered with Orange Fizz, Gumdrop Green, and Brocade Blue(SU). I used some DCWV paper from a LONG time ago as my background, which was cut out with the new Circle Stax. For the sentiment, I used my First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics which I attached to a spiral clip. My ribbon is the new Gumdrop Green ribbon from MFT. To finish it off, I added brads, and the letters A B, and C, which were cut out with my By the Letters Uppercase Die-namics.

My card is actually for today's Crazy 4 Challenges, challenge, which was a FABULOUS sketch from my teammate Frances Byrne.

I used the Dizzy Doily Die-namics, along with the new Circle Stax Die-namics, for my sentiment from the new Let's Toast set. My glasses were cut out with the Let's Toast Die-namics.

I know I have talked about him on my blog before, but this is my cousin's baby, Jonah. Jonah was born with Marfan's Syndrome, which is rarely ever detected at birth unless in severe cases, like Jonah's. He has had a tough life, so far, for a 6 month old, and has been in the ICU after two heart surgeries, for over a month. Despite everything the world has thrown at him, he fights through everything, and even has an adorable little smile on his face. My family is having a benefit supper and auction to raise money for his medical expenses, and this is one of the four shadow boxes I donated. I actually made two of this one, so that his mom and dad could have one, as well.  I really hope that we are able to raise a TON of money, but more importantly, I REALLY hope that Jonah, and his mom and Dad, get to come home soon!!
I used Orange Fizz, Banana Split, Sweet Tooth, and Ballet Blue card stock. My stars were cut out using the Stacking Stars Die-namics, and my border was the Star Border Die-namics. I used the First Place Award Ribbon for my sentiment, along with the Clearly Sentimental About Babies set. My other sentiment, Dream Big,  is from the Big Greetings set, and was cut out with my Oval Stax, then layered with the new Mini Circle Doily Die-namics. My paper is a DCWV pad I have had for FOREVER! I did use a spiral clip, Orange V Striped Twill from the Ribbon Carousel. I used the new By The Letters Uppercase Alphabet Die-namics, as well, for his name.

Here are the Die-namics I used:
