PIO Challenge 18 - Cute and Cuddly

Good evening all, Here is my project for our PIO (Pile It On Challenge Blog) this week. The theme is Cute and Cuddly. This week's sponsor is Meljen's Designs. They do some wonderful digi stamps! This is my first ever project with a digi stamp and I love, love, loved working with it :-) Please be sure to stop by their online store and check out all of their super cute images! Here is a view of the entire layout. Here is a closeup of the super sweet digi stamp from Meljen's. Isn't she just adorable? Snuggling with her kitty cat. I actually partially colored her in digitally first. I printed her out on a full 12 x 12 sheet of white paper. Then I used my xacto knife to trim around her pants, shoes and pony tail. This way I could tuck the photo mat and border underneath her. Here is a closeup of the flowers, flourishes, and leaves. I used an assortment of buttons, bling and inks to match the great color scheme. So now the different challenges that this project applies to: The Pink Elephant - Yellow, Designer Paper & Buttons Practical Scrappers - Punches (Used my MS punch set for the white lacey border) A Spoonful of Sugar - Furry Friends FabnFunky Challenges - Fancy Edges Paper Play Challenges - Digi and Bling Wee Memories - Stitching DareU2DigiStamp - Digi Whoopsi Daisy Challenge - As You Like It Stamp With Fun - Friends Totally Paper Crafts - Stitching Creative Craft Challenges - Flowers Delightful Sketches - Punches Cupcake Inspiration - Color Scheme Sundays With Crissy - Favorite Things Scrapfit - Use Your Stash
