Hi everyone,

I hope you had a great weekend.

We've had so much rain lately it was wonderful to finally see the sun yesterday.

Lake Ontario is at an all time high with lots of flooding around the shoreline,

covering beaches and parkland. Hopefully it will recede but with more

rain expected it might take awhile.

..on to business.  Today starts a new challenge at

The Cutie Pie Challenge #111

where we have the fabulous

Crafty Ribbons sponsoring, offering a great prize to the winner.

The theme this month is "Ribbon and Rubber"

We would like to see you use a rubber stamp or ribbon on your creation

and remember..it must be cute.

I stamped this cute stamp with Memento Grey Ink and

coloured her using Copics.  

She is called "Little Sprout" and is from Art Impressions

Design paper is StampinUp, velvet ribbon from my stash.

Silk ribbon used for the bow

Hello die is from Simon Says Stamp
