Happy, happy, happy



     It's a new week and there's tons of exciting news over at the Mo's Digital Pencil challenge blog.  Our Guest Designers have been chosen for their three month term and we have a brand new amazing card maker joining our regular Design Team.  We're so excited to be working with all these girls.
     There's no way I could have made this card this week with the neck problems I've been having, but I sure enjoyed getting out all my kitchen sink toys last week to create it.
     Our challenge this week is "H is for.....".  Now "H" is a pretty tough letter to match crafty supplies with, but I've used "Harvest Fairy Apple" for my image.  She's smiling so she's "happy" and I added some "hinges" to the side of my card.
     Layers, die cuts, and ribbons oh my.  LOL  Here's a glamour shot of the little sweetie.


Copics Used:
skin--E000, E00, E11, E13, R20
hair--E21, E23, E25, E29
wings--YG11
