This week at QKR Stampede the team was challenged to use this cute little girl (11401 Picking Flowers) and a sun for our Challenge #148 “You Are My Sunshine”. Our challenge to you is to incorporate a sun into your card or project. The sun I used is QKR’s 6104 Patchwork Sun.
When I printed my digi girl I sized her to scale with the fence so I could make a sunny scene using designer paper, die cuts, and a 3 in 1 flower punch. I can’t help but think of some of my earliest stamps when I look at this girl and the cheerful sun shining down on her, so this was a bit of a flashback for me. These days I have a lot more tools at my disposal, however. Stamping has come a long way, baby!
It’s fun to see all the different cards using the same image, so hop on over to our “You are my Sunshine” challenge for a peek, and then link up your own sunny creation. I hope you have a happy weekend doing summertime things, even if that means hanging out in an air conditioned stamp room. See you again soon!

I am so sorry that I haven't visited in what seems like weeks! I'm not sure how I've let my life become so disorganized. It's not as I've accomplished anything wonderful. This little girl is so cute, and she's beautifully colored. What a wonderfully cheerful card!

What a sweet and happy card Leslie. You did a wonderful job at making a scene with your images and die cuts. And the paper you used for the ground is so perfect - it really looks like a stone walkway. This card makes me smile!:)

She is just adorable and yes the style reminds me of the older stamp sets, just love this little scene you created with her and the patchwork sun goes great with her style, too cute!
