A Gem of a Challenge - Week 15: Anything Goes!

Good morning everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a great start. This morning I'd like to announce that I've joined the group of amazing designers at A Gem of a Challenge - where we feature Pink Gems Designs digistamps available from the Polkadoodles digi store! Nikky carries a wide range of Pink Gems digis - you've got one stop shopping all under one umbrella here. There's something for everyone!

Our Gem of a Challenges run for 2 weeks, so you've got lots of time to link up. Check out the challenge blog HERE. 

Our challenge is, as always, Anything Goes! Yay!

For today's project I've created a sweet "just because" or perhaps Anniversary card featuring Ella Elephant Birthday Balloon. I love these Pink Gems animals - there is a whole range of images for all occasions, and they're just adorable! I actually cut off the balloon when I was fussy cutting this image after coloring. I thought it fit on the card base better without the extra bit. My papers are from Winnie White Christmas (Papers 1) and Little Dudes collection (Party Little Dude). The sentiment is from Winnie Celebrations 3.

I colored up this cutie using Copic Markers - I buy all of mine at Scrapbookpal.com for their fast shipping and awesome service. The layout is from an old Mojo Monday sketch, which is actually still up and running on Julee's personal blog here if you want to check it out. It's one of my Top 3 sketch challenges over the years, so much great inspiration!
