You may also notice that we have a few special guests joining us for this challenge!! A few of our Original Divas have returned for this special event. Make sure to say "hi"!!

Here is a little about my card. I have been dying to ink up this fabulous Dustin Pike image Xavier & Oliver... I have given Oliver rosey cheeks so think my sweet bear should be called Olivia! Xavier and Olivia ;-) have been coloured with copic markers with a little Prismacolor pencil and sansodor to blend. The cute sentiment is also High Hopes. I thought these papers from MME State of the Heart went perfectly with this image. The Iloveyou was also cut out from the papers. Other products used: Martha Stewart Doily Heart Edger Punch, Heart Pins and flat back pearls.

I won't keep you any longer... from here you will hop to the super talented Sirpa

I can't wait to see what everyone has created also!!! Have fun!!!

Hugs,
