The Crafters Cafe Challenge #279

 Hello everyone and let me be the first to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday season!  Before I can decorate, I am finally getting my carpets cleaned.  It's been about 4 years and I can just imagine what color the water will be.  UGH!  But that is on December 9th.  First let's get this challenge started.  Here are the sponsors.

All Dressed Up Digital Stamps

Prize~2 Digital images

My Besties Shop
Prize~3 Digital Images

What wonderful sponsors to kick off the holiday card making season.  They are both wonderful designers and have the nicest images.  Thank you for your generosity! Please go show each of them some love!

Now on to my creation.  I have created a birthday card for a very dear friend.  Her name is Ricki.  We have been friends since 7th grade.  Let's just say it's more than 40 years.  When we were just graduated, Toni Basil recorded a song entitled 'Oh ricky you're so fine'.  I thought it would be appropriate for her birthday.  (She will get back at me somehow)  So here is my creation using My Besties Digital Image called Phoenix Urban.

Here she is!  I've always loved pink and gray 
together.  I colored her using Prismacolor and
Arteza colored pencils.  The background is from
scraps I keep in my filing cabinet.  The tag is
another bit in my embellishments folders (who 
knows where I get all the supplies).

Here is a close up.

I used Pebbles chalk for her cheeks and I printed
her on a file folder.

The inside.  Birthday die is from KSCrafts.

I sure do hope that you all have a wonderful holiday season.  I also hope that Santa brings me a new computer.  I am then going to throw BLOGGER so far away it will never be found.  

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know that you are blessed!
