D's Paper Studio March Challenge
This is the last week of the D's Paper Studio Graphic 45 March Challenge.  See the details HERE.  One person will win an awesome prize package from Graphic 45.  You have until this Saturday at midnight PST to post a link to your project.  I'll announce the winner on Monday.

Can you imagine being together for 52 years?  Honestly, I don't know how we did it!  This little cow was given to me when I was born.  Through many moves via my father in the Air Force, my own moves as an adult, I still have my little cow.  I don't know if I ever gave her a name. I'll have to look into that one.

Paper Collection from Graphic 45's Little Darlings. 

Other products:  Prima bling, Epiphany Crafts settings, epoxy cap, and tool; Fiskars Funky Heart Squeeze punch (I made the bottom layer of the butterfly with the heart...) My Minds Eye "sweet baby"; webster's pages trim; Fiskars Jenni Bowlin banner squeeze punch.  Martha Stewart border punch.  

There is a couple of tutorials in here I'm going to share later in the week.

Fiskars butterfly thumb punch; Doodlebug's sugared brads; buttons from Bag O' Buttons.  Thanks to Leah Killian for the banner inspiration. 

Personal Note
My family has had a whirlwind week last week with illness and emergencies.  I'm going to take a few days to rest, create, play, refocus, etc.  I'll be back on the blog / computer at the end of the week.  Enjoy your week and ...

Have a Crafty Day!
