RoP Challenge #6 & Blog Candy Teaser...

Yay!!! It's the weekend! It's extra-special for me because today is Mania day!! Heather, Jess, Janna and I will be at Archiver's this afternoon & evening until they kick us out! I can't wait, I think I might be worse than my DS #1 waiting to go to Chuck E. Cheese, LOL. Well, it *has* been 6 weeks since our last girls' night so I guess I am entitled. :-)

But first, today's card! I think this is my favorite Whiff of Joy image. She's just so sweet! I made this card for the Roses on Paper Challenge #6 - Love & Friendship. The little sentiment is from Pink Cat Studio {I love Pink Cat - I buy mine at Limelight Papercrafts}, it was too naked without a LITTLE something there. I also used the Viva la Verve February #1 sketch on this - here it is:

My embossing twist is the Cuttlebugged Swiss Dots piece under the main image. I had to mirror-image flip this one, for some reason I didn't like the girl on the right side of the card. The pearls kinda blend in with the patterned paper, but they are there! I pulled the colors on this from the inspiration piece from this week's Twinkling Tuesday challenge.

I need to go finish packing up my stuff for tonight's stamp-a-thon, but before I got, a TEASER for you...

Tomorrow, I will be having some very cool blog candy, along with an overdue review of a very fun book I recently read. You know me, the only thing I love {almost as much} as stamping is reading!! But what does my stamping blog have to do with a book review, you may ask? I will give you a hint...a great {fiction} story detailing the adventures of a papercrafting genius, complete with drama, intrigue, laugh-out-loud jokes and CRAFTING TIPS. Oh yes! Check back tomorrow for the full reveal, and as I promised, *very good* blog candy. Thanks for stopping by today!
