ALL ABOUT CHILDREN AT DI’S DIGI DESIGNS

Happy Saturday to all!!  Typically, Saturday is my favorite day of the week – get to sleep in, don’t have to worry about packing kids’ lunches, homework being due the next day, etc.  Unfortunately today, I will be driving for 5 hours to watch my son play soccer for an hr.  I love watching my sons play any sports, but that is a lot of driving for very little actual watching/playing time!  Ok sorry, little rant for the day, shouldn’t complain though as I am so blessed that I am able to watch my boys and that they are able to play.

Anyway, we have a NEW CHALLENGE for you over at DI’S DIGI DESIGNS and it is ALL ABOUT CHILDREN, so we are looking for creations either with a CHILD(REN) or FOR A CHILD(REN).  Can’t wait to see what you will create.

For my card today, I chose this adorable image “FLOWER FRIEND” from DI’S DIGI DOWNLOADS.  I colored it with Copics and cut with Lifestyle Crafts die.  Flower die behind image is from Marianne Creatables.  Papers are all SU, candy dots are from Prima.  Sentiment is from Jaded Blossom, I added Stickles for the cupcake frosting and cut with Lifestyle Crafts die.  Ribbon is from my stash - I punched out 2 slots with SU punch to run it through die cut.  Sure hope you like it and will come play along!!
