Today, I have used the new Minnie, Maisie, and Me set, and you will definitely see the other one along the way! She was colored up and paired with some Summer Fun paper from Fancy Pants. I created a bit of a scene by drawing in some grass, and adding some stitched clouds from The Cat's Pajamas. My buttons and cardstock are all from MFT, and I used some May Arts Satin Edge ribbon.
