I don't know what the weather is like where you are but I have to say, it has been positively beautiful here. We are finally starting to see the first of the sunny, warm spring days that I've been anxious for and it is wonderful! Add that to me still riding my Glee high and life is pretty darn good, LOL! ;)
So you may have seen this new Anya popping up, heck... you may even own her already if you took advantage of the pre-sale last week but today is the official release date for the brand new Spotlight set over at The Greeting Farm! Now, I've given Spotlight Anya a bit of a hair cut on my card today but she is super cute with her long locks too. You know me... I'm a sucker for those smilie eyes. :)
And I know that TGF is marketing this set for scrapbooking but I actually got it because I thought the different elements would be fun on my cards, so even if you don't do much scrapping don't count this one out. I mean, just look at those cutie stars and there are a lot of other fun images and sentiments too!
If that's not enough excitement for you, they are starting up a new scrappin' challenge over at the TGF blog every Thursday so you won't want to miss checking that out as well. :)
Speaking of challenges... I actually made my card for this week's Quixotic challenge to use metal embellishments. It was a great excuse to pull out these oooooold metal rim tags and finally put them to use. They were one of those 'must have' embellies back in the day and I built up quite a collection of them that have just sat in a drawer totally neglected. Well... five down, only about fifty left to go LOL!
Alrighty, it's time for me to go to work. Hope your day is wonderful my friends! :)
