As Mad as a Hatter!

Honestly, I am as mad as a hatter over the digital images from Spesch Designer Stamps.  I was checking out challenges when a card caught my eye and I had to follow it back to the cardmaker's blog to identify the stamp source.  That was White Queen and the card was by Sammi.  So, crazy about the images, I had to apply for their DT call.  I must be mad as a hatter!  But hey, there are seven days in the week and I still have days with nothing to post!  :)  Given the talented list of ladies already associated with the Spesch name, I was stunned and extremely flattered to be given the opportunity to work with one of their images as one of the top ten.  Waiting for inspiration to strike and the right papers to inspire, oh was time slow!  I was itching to create something bold and beautiful.  Inspiration struck in the form of Friday Sketchers and my beautiful Bo Bunny papers I was hoarding for a scrapbook layout.

I used the colours in the pattern to inspire her golden yellow hair and the blue for her eyes.  I am extremely frustrated with my R85 and E25 who have apparently lost a battle with polycolor pencils somewhere along the way.  Looking into my crystal ball, I see new nibs in their immediate future!  The sentiment is from Kimmie's Tea Sentiments available through both Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and Stamp and Create.  I used foam squares to pop up the sentiment to add more dimension to the card.

Regardless of whether I make the design team, I will follow both their designers and their new releases.  Their images are cute and work equally well for card designs for my three year old DD, my thirteen year old niece, my mother, or even my mother-in-law - age yet undetermined!   

Thank you for looking!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
