Today's post is bittersweet - it is my final post as "permanent guest designer" at the Scrapbook Stamp Society where My Besties rule. I've enjoyed the privilege of posting on the SSS blog for over a year, and will miss working with DTC Sher and all the amazing artists on the team, but there are just not enough hours in the day... you know how it goes.
So on to this little cutie -
She is in Love with Spring!
Spring has sprung
and
Little Miss I-Love-Spring
has Spring Fever,
hence all the loving hearts growing just for her!
Do you have Spring Fever?
A little bling is just below the scalloped edge (Frosted Carmen Glitter and Heart Bling).
Little Miss I-Love-Spring (IMG205) is colored with Copic Markers.
This week's challenge at "As You Like It" is all about stitching (faux or real).
Sewing on cards is about the only sewing I do (smile).
It's fun and easy and provides great texture.
I can never decide whether I prefer straight stitching or zig-zag so in this case, both styles were used on three panels. Do you have a favorite style?
MFT "Love" die cut is covered with Sparkle N Sprinkle's Princess Rose sparkly cosmic EP. It covers so completely with one coat you'd never know it was applied to white cardstock.
Little Miss I-Love-Spring is embellished with SNS Bubble Gum glitter, as are the flowers.
I love coloring these little My Besties images - brings out the little girl in me (as if I need help).
Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Such a sweet card! I have that die and, if you'll pardon the play on words, "love" it. It's very versatile. Love all the glitter and lace - soft and sweet .
Oh, this is spectacular, Donna! Love all the details and your beautiful colouring of the image. Of course the glitter too! All the layering is done so beautifully and I really like that border of heart gems! I could look at this for a long time and see something new - like the stitching I just noticed - gorgeous! Wishing you a wonderful day, dear friend!
What a fabulous card and fabulous stitching too. I love the colour combination here and such a sweet image. Thanks for playing with us at AYLI and Good Luck!! Sarah
Hi Donna, what a cute card! Love your colours, the're so springlike, just lovely! Thanks for being my newest follower! My style is totally different from what you make, so I really appreciate you joining my blog. I do make cards too. I have a cardmaking blog called: creafrea.blogspot.com. I must admit though, that my heart goes out to mixed media at the moment, much more than making cards. I amd your follower now too. Have a great Sunday, hugs Frea
Hi Donna this card is gorgeous. The little girl is so cute and pretty! Love the layout and sparkle too. Have a wonderful week.

Donna, this is soooooo cute! I could just sink right into it, especially with your totally amazing coloring! I love how you added some pink to her her hair. I mean, it really is just completely unbelievably beautiful. All the sparkle and pretty elements I could look at for hours. They're going to miss you at SSS. BTW, I do like to mix up my stitching, too. My machine does so many more stitches that I need to use once in a while, but the straight and zig zag are definite faves.
what a gorgeous project you have made Donna.
Only sad to see you go but I can understand it.
Hope to see you on blogland and on facebook.

This is gorgeous Donna. I love the image and the design and embellishments are beautiful.
If you look on my blog there is a picture of Nellie on my side bar (I have just moved her to the top). She was my parents dog and she was the most beautiful dog you could ever wish to meet, in looks and in temperament. Not a week goes by where I don't look at her and remember her. The gorgeous picture of her was painted by a neighbour and it is such a true likeness.
So... I wanted my blog to have a name which reflected something that meant a lot to me, so I called it Nellies.
After all, it sounds so much nicer than Sharon's handmade cards!!!
Take care Donna.
Hugs Sharon. x
What wonderful , fun , and bright colors you used on this pretty card !!! Lovely and sweet !!

Hi De, She is adorable and as always, great instructions too! I know how hard leaving must be and about how 'time flies' too! Love how you painted her too! Die cuts are fantastic and spotted the IO bow! A really beautiful card!!
I have blog candy for a card and/or donation to little girl receiving chemo for Leukemia.
Hugs,
Pink is definitely your color. She is adorable and colored up to perfection. Sweet lace and flowers are so beautiful. Love your stitching, don't do enough of that, need to think of it more often. And your signature glitter sure looks great on this beautiful card. So very pretty, Donna.
Hugs
Sue

Oh Donna-she is so super sweet. I love all the glittery goodness. Those flowers just jump out and speak to me. I never got the wonky squares die. I love how they look. I trying to be not tempted into purchasing them...lol
Bear Hugs,
Carol
Sweet image and project, thanks for playing over at As You Like It Challenge.

Oh how LOVEly, all those pink flowers and delightful image and the love flowers to match.
Your take is so different on the sketch, I'd say you made one of your own (and that is meant as a compliment in case it somehow comes off otherwise). Love the 'love' and those pretty glitter flowers. Pretty lace too. I can only imagine how much glitter you have floating through the house!
Hugs,
Lisa
