Hello...

Hello friends and happy Friday!! :)
I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to spending a nice relaxing weekend at home and hopefully curled up with my stamps and a good book!!

Today is my turn to post on the Belles n' Whistles inspirational blog for you....here's what I created:
You may recognize this image from Elisabeth Bell when it originally came out as a Sugar Nellie stamp, well now you can get this stamp again at Belles n' Whistles called Little Friend!  Isn't she just as sweet as can be?!!  I thought it would be a perfect image to color whilst I had my thoughts along the lines of Spring and all of the gorgeous warm weather ahead of us soon!

The sketch I chose to follow is a nice simple one and I didn't want to add too many flowers as to not take away from all of the pretty Spring flowers and grass in the image.  But here are some challenges that I'm entering this creation for:

Sketch n Stash - sketch challenge #82
allsorts - it's your choice
The Crazy Challenge - anything goes
Deep Ocean - Spring
Creative Inspirations - anything goes
Cute Card Thursday - Signs of Spring

Don't forget that the Belles n' Whistles challenges are still going on right now!  The challenges are now monthly so that you have the entire month to create something!  It's a nice easy peasy challenge of "hearts"!  So I hope you will stop by and play along!  You still have time to play before we start a new challenge on March 12th!  We'd sure love to see your Elisabeth Bell images and some hearts!! :)

I will be back with another post in just a bit!  I have something VERY exciting to reveal to you and I just can't wait to tell you any longer!!.....................
