The Cutie Pie Challenge - Favourite Song

Hi Everyone.

Bit late with my post this week.   Sorry.  Anyway more good news:

      I am now a fully fledged member of the Cutie Pie DT Team.  Thank you sooooo Much Woo for giving me a place on Team A.  I look forward to joining in regularly.

      Secondly I have offered a place as a featured guest designer on the Anything Goes blog in March this year.  I am busy preparing my projects for this and a short bio - an oh help they want a photo ............

Anyway enough of the news - now the important bit.

We have a fab challenge going on at the Cutie Pie blog this fortnight ...... it's your favourite song.  There are two brilliant prizes up for offer. So why don't you pop on the radio, sing along and create a masterpiece for us to look at and drool over and give yourself a chance to win some fab goodies from Crafty Emmas Store and our very own Woo.

Here's my card for the challenge:

My song is Jolene, by Dolly Parton - the character has flaming auburn hair and eyes of emerald green and her beauty is beyond  compare ..............

The image is from Make it Crafty Stamps.  I just love her - she's coloured with my faithful promarkers and then mounted onto black card.  The papers used are from my Papermania stash and the sentiment also from my stash.  The base for the card is a square blue card. 

Hope you like her and I'm looking forward to seeing your creations over on the Cutie Pie Blog.

Hugs
