T.G.I.F peeps!!! I am really looking forward to this weekend. Rain or shine I hope things on the home front are quite. Work has been a bit crazy this week and on top of it DD got sick, again. Ti's the season. Crossing fingers DH & I don't catch it next.
Today I have a new someone to share with you. This is Puddle Jumper Gabi from BLD-By LORi Designs. She was one of the new images released this month. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this cutie. I decided to go a little more tom-boy with my card. She takes me back to my own childhood. I was definitely a tom-boy. Mom was always having to patch up my pants from my "rough playing". It's so funny how things change too. I distinctively remember the summer (1984) when that all changed for me. All of a sudden the boy next door looked yummy and I wanted to dress like a girl. Yes, my first beau was the boy next door!
Okay, so how about this card. After all that's why you guys are here! I scaled Gabbi down on my computer first. I promise to do a tutorial soon on working with digital images. I had all of my spring paper out, but Gabbi didn't want any part of the pink. So I turned to my Little Boy paper collection from Echo Park. Score!! I wanted to add a little something to her t-shirt, so after I punched out my star border I used one of the smaller stars for her shirt.
Notice anything else a little new about the card? I made a Jodi border!! Yes my dear friend Jodi Collins has been up to her crafting genius again. I cut out Gabbi using my rectangle Nestabilities. While the image was still in the die I took my Copic multi-liner and outlined the die. I do like the way it turned out. Thanks Jodi!!!
That's all for me today friends. I hope you all have a GREAT weekend!

Aw, isn't she cute? You're right, she's definitely a tomboy and the papers and colors you've chosen work so well with her. Love your "Jodi" border. Lol. Amazing how just a little accent can pull a whole piece together.
