OK! Here we are with my SECOND post for the day!! Haha!! You just never can tell with me, now can ya'! So...I have been on the fence about this, but.......here goes!! INSTYLE stamps is having a Guest DT call!! The instructions were to make a Birthday creation and I found these instructions on their BLOG. You NEED to check out that blog!! Lots of inspiration to be found there!! I have listed the deets for the call below!! INSTYLE stamps carries REALLY cute stamps and Digi images, like this one. This little CUTIE is called Mellie! Isn't she sweet?? I printed Mellie out and knew right away, which papers I was going to use! I had just gotten the flowers, from Prima, and thought they would go great with my Basic Grey Eva paper!! YAY!! I LOVE it when things come together! Guess what? See the brads in the middle of those flowers? I have had them for a little while; they are ALSO Basic Grey!! There I go with the matchy, matchy thing, again! I finished this card with some pink liquid pearls, for Mellie's icing, on the cake!! Well, I hope you will consider throwing your creation into the ring! And....I hope you like my creation! Make sure to visit their store and take a look around! Wish me luck and I wish all of you luck! See you tomorrow; I promise this is the last post for today! Haha! Thanks for checking back in with me and have a FANTASTIC evening!! ENJOY LIFE!!

However, I just don't have that professional flare, that you all have. So....just as I have been practicing with my Copics?? I have with my camera. It was raining today, but, it was still pretty bright outside. I took my creation outside, to try to capture a great pic that way. I ended up inside, then outside again. When I was looking at the pics on my computer, I tried to play with them a little more. Much to my excitement?? I found the contrast settings and such!! What do you know?? VOILA!!!! Will you look at this pic?? YAY!!! Now I just need to keep practicing with all those settings!!! HOpe you like my Anya Princess!!! I just LOVE those stamps, by The Greeting Farm!!!
