OMG have you missed me??? I am going to do a blog candy giveaway for everyone who comments to this post before wednesday at midnight! Just to see who has been looking even though I have been a terrible blogger! So comment away - and feel free to tell anyone else not to miss it too. I am going to pack a flat rate priority box up today and I promise it will be FAB!
So did you think I was EVER gonna get to the last sketch? It is funny because I have actually made three cards for it now! The first I did and was all ready to post it when I realized the stamp was a retired stamp! I know I could still use it - but I wanted to try again. So about a week later I got back to it and designed another card that well - Towanda was having a field day with! :-) So I put off posting again. Today is the start of a NEW day right? I started fresh and finally came up with a card that I like and want to show you! Be sure to add your link to the blog hop if you give the sketch a try!

My card is soft and girly - and I just love it! I colored very simply with the copic markers - you do not always have to do all the blending and complicated stuff! I also highlighted with the crystal stickles - which always finishes off a card just right!
SO what do you think? You wanna see the card that I could not bear to post? I know you do!
Well while I am at it - here is the card with the retired stamp too... I loved that Autumn swirls set!
I was going to actually email you to find out what happened to you. I have definitely missed you!

At last! I like what you did with the embellishments at the top left of the cards. I was really waiting to see what you'd do. I like the one you did today best, but I DO like the other two as well!

I never win the blog candy but thought I would share the love and tell you that you were missed. Hope you have a good holiday in the states we had ours last month and it was nice. Hope to see you a little more when you are able but it is nice when you are.

You know that I missed you -- I check your blog at least 3 days a week, if not every day when I'm watching for your next posting!!! I like all 3 of the cards; but the Fairy Birthday is my favorite. I love soft and girly.
