Use It Tuesday! Exciting News to share and Challenge #9

Hi everyone! 

I have two exciting things to share with you today. 

The first news, I have been holding onto this for awhile.

I am SO happy to be able to post it!

The funny part is that it was announced on the Use It Tuesday blog last week. There was a bit of email woes to sort through but I think I am good to go now! :)

Drum roll please....

I am now a designer for the Use It Tuesday challenge blog! 

The design team is fab! 

Sami is awesome and of course, there's the one and only Siobhan whom I adore.

The second thing I want to share is my card for the new Use It Tuesday Challenge #9!

We challenge you to USE YOUR DIES, PUNCHES, or CUT-OUTS

that has NEVER BEEN USED BEFORE! 

A photo of my unused Lacey Ovals Nesties, which I found after scrounging around for some scrapbook paper. Yes... imagine that! Finding a long lost item under a pile of scrapbook paper. Has that ever happened to you before? Perhaps it's time for me to get a paper organizing system. LOL!

My card for the challenge:

I am in love with this adorable Pure Innocence Ladybug (MFT)!

I paper pieced her outfit and added diamond Stickles to her wings.

She is coloured in Copics. 

Hair: E33

Skin: E11, E00, E0000, E93

We are releasing three new rubber stamp sets today!
  Melissa has converted some of her most popular digi designs into rubber.
