anything goes....

Phew! did i survive the weekend?? guess so huh! LOL... had to catch my breathe yesterday for all the excitment in blogland last week! did you all enjoy Amy's Sweet November previews? all the images are available now at ATS! so go get 'em!!

this week, i've got a few creations to share with you as i've been busy in between setting up for previews with creating and playing along in some challenges... so my blog will be full of life this week! or i can hope right?! =D things always seem to come up!! haha!

why not start off today with a creation for the challenge at ATS - Anything Goes....

i've been hoarding this gorgeous blue washi paper for some time now and when i received a special gift from one of my blogging sisters, i just knew i had a perfect pair... and i have to say that this is my FIRST ever Magnolia stamp (along with one that came with this one ) added to my stamp collection! love Magnolias and all their cuteness and i think i might have to start collecting these... hehe! anyway, the image was perfect with the washi paper and the colors very bright and royal... different shades of blue (my FAVE) with gold... used the SU! lattice squares embossing folder that i just LOVE to add texture and i had a stash of gold ribbon to accent and bring out the gold outlines... and if you look really good at the image, i've even added some sakura dust gold ink to her kimono and flowers... sentiment is from Dandelion Designs...

well, thanks for coming by today! hope this card sparks some inspiration for you to craft! have a great week and i'll be back tomorrow!!
