You can use one of the free images posted or purchase any of the great images she has on her site! The winner will receive three digital images of their choice from the Sewn Together store!

I don't know if I can say this is my favorite image, as I have sooo many that I just love, but as soon as I seen these two images, I knew what I wanted to do. The below digital images are of Tayla the Tiger. Angela has soooo many cute images so be sure to check out Tayla as well as all her other cute characters!!

Card Front....Tayla was colored with Prismacolor Pencils, using the Gamsol technique. She was printed out 3 times and then I cut areas to layer. Taylas witches hat is embellished with 'Yellow' Stickles on the stars and 'Yellow' Ice Stickles on the band of the hat. Papers are from the DCWV Halloween Stack. Photo corners are free hand and then embellished with 'Grape Ice' Ice Stickles. 'Peek A' are some 3 dimensional letters I had laying around that I went over with 'Frosted Lace' Stickles. I used a piece of cord to make the string thats tied around Taylas tail
Inside of Card...Tayla once again was colored using Prismacolor pencils and the Gamsol technique. Layered multiple times to give Tayla a dimensional look of hanging out of the 'Boo'. Papers are also from the DCWV Halloween stack and then inked around the edges with black stamp pad. Pop up feature used on the Boo.

Thanks for looking!!

Did Tayla scare ya?

My new adventure...in the land of.....

I received an email Sunday from Angela telling me that I was one of those folks chosen for her new Design Team over at Sewn Together. I'm really excited since this will be my first Design Team and Angela has such cute images in her store. I can't wait to play with them. I've already got a few ideas for some Halloween cards, so I can't wait to share them with you and get your opinions on them! Be sure to check out our other great Design Team Members. Their blogs are in my right sidebar. Very talented women in our group, so I hope I don't let anyone down!

Congrats to everyone that made it, and a special thank you to everyone that supports me here on my blog. Your comments, compliments, constructive criticism, and kindness mean so much to me!!
