Well, as mentioned in yesterday's post, February hasn't been the greatest month in terms of illnesses, and so I have been a wee bit behind on some things.  One of those is that I was chosen for DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY  DT and was meant to start the beginning of this month, but I am starting now instead!!  I want to thank Margy and the DT girls at DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY for putting up with my slow start.

Anyway, we are midway through our current challenge at DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY CHALLENGE and it is DIES OR PUNCHES.  You are not required to use an image from DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY to play along, but if you do, you could win the BIG PRIZE of $10 voucher to the shop!!  You have until March 4 to come play along.  Please make sure to follow all our challenge rules - they can be found at DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY CHALLENGE.

I have used the gorgeous Stormie image from DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY for today's creation.  I had such fun coloring her with Copics and Sakura pens.  I cut her out with my new Cheery Lynn dies.  Green doily is also cut with Cheery Lynn die.  Large doily is from Couture Creations, and sentiments are cut with Nestie.  CS is Bazzill and DP is from Heartfelt Creations.  These lovely flowers are from Prima.  I sure hope you like it and will come play along:)
