Are you getting ready for the weekend? I'll be keeping busy but that doesn't mean that I'm not hoping for some beautiful sunshiny days! :)
Yesterday I received my order of stamps that included the new sweeties from The Greeting Farm and I was anxious to get them inky. I was a bit surprised by the smallish size of the new Blush girls... for some reason I was expecting them to be bigger than they are. So when I saw that jar stamp still sitting on my desk from yesterday's card I tested it out and found that Bonnie was a perfect fit inside of it. I did do a bit of altering by wiping away her original eyes and drawing in some wide open "Anya inspired" eyes for her... you know how I like me some wide open eyes. ;)
Now I just needed some inspiration to bring the card all together, so I hopped on over to the Farm Fresh Challenge Blog to check out the WOW Challenge for this week. It turned out to be a super cute photo inspiration of a fairytale like nursery... perfect! I pulled the pinks, greens and yellows from the pic and decided on a square card because of the wall covered in giant letter blocks. But my biggest inspiration came from the cartoon mural on the wall. That fun squirrel and the small door and window in the tree trunk paired with the jar I was already set on using got me to picturing little Bonnie as a tiny Thumbelina who's gotten herself into a bit of a pickle. I ended up having so much fun with this card, which is always a good thing!
Alrighty then, stay crafty everybody! :)

Oh Amy, I love how you have put her in a jar. She looks adorable and I have to admit that I was a little shocked at their size as well.
