(be sure to follow this blog and get the winning posts as I will no longer be notifying winners personally)

Good Crafty Day to you friends!  Today I'm sharing one of my favorite images from the *NEW* "From The Hollow" illustration collections!  Her name is Lucinda Joy!  She is a spunky and full of style little fairy.  She's obviously jumping for joy but with bright sunshiny colored wings and that flowing but spiky red hair, sh is sharing her joy with all of us!

I tried to create a little scene where there are loads of viny materials, leaves, ruffles and of course some terrific sparkle for her to play in.  I used a terrific sentiment from the Enchanted Wishes Vintage Affections collection which matched perfectly!  Hope you get a chance to color one of the NEW From The Hollow images soon and create your little scene!  Have fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoy our new release!

Now for my project for the day!  I've decided to keep this a somewhat clean and simple project.  It's a quick card with a beautiful focus image.  I've used one of the new Spellbinder dies with a simple design paper in the background.  Framed it up and used a coordinating center die to frame the image.  I used some string and some ornament bobbles that coordinate the project with the dp.  Great fun and simple to make!
