For my project today, I decided to first see what characters or things from the 80's that Emily liked most. This is of course, her hop, and I wanted my project to directly relate to something that would make her smile. Well, Emily informed me that she LOVED Rainbow Brite as a little girl..... and who wouldn't??? A cute girly girl character with LOTS of color!

Happy Birthday Emily!

I hope that you enjoy this birthday card that I made especially for you.

For this card I pulled out my copics (I only have a handful of colors, but luckily I had what I felt was needed for little Miss Rainbow). I found a cute Rainbow Brite coloring page which I sized down and printed on my curious metallic paper. My Birthday Celebration Stack from DCWV really jumped out at me to coordinate with the coloring of the images. Lastly, I accented with some red and white bakers twine to give the illusion of sunshine streaming down on her .. cute, huh?

I'm so happy you stopped by today. Don't forget to stop by everyones blog for their fantastic creations and many chances at different blog candy!

I'm offering a bit of candy myself. Leave me a comment and follow my blog for a chance at winning a scrapbook kit which will contain solid and coordinating pattern pappers, ribbons, and embellishments.

If you'd like to stop by my FACEBOOK page, I'd love for you to join me there too ... however, this is not a requirement.

Now, head on over to Kathy's blog to see what she has in store for Emily today!

The 12 days of Christmas (Day 7) Guest Designer

Hi Everyone!
If you are here from the 12 Days of Christmas Blog hop for the Guest Designer entry ... well, you are in the RIGHT spot!

Thanks so much to Lisa over at Honeybearz Designs for hosting and for having me as a guest!
If this is the first you've heard of this hop, you had better head on over to Lisa's blog to check out today, and the last six days of hops. She has gathered some absolutely amazing prizes for blog candy. You certainly DO NOT want to miss out on that!

My project today is a set of cute little Elves that I've paper pieced together using patterns from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. I just love her Jolly Little Elves as they are so incredibly different than any others that I have seen out this year.
