Good Evening everyone!!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and all in the USA had a wonderful holiday today!!! I spent most of the day in front of the TV for there was a marathon of my favorite show on all day!!!Criminal Minds!!! Love it!!

But not much crafting in this weekend to show mainly some DT cards but did manage to make a project I needed to get done and it matched 3 challenges. Now how is that!!!
Don't think I could do that again lol

I needed to make a notepad for a friend and so I used MME 29th Street Market papers. And I have used the cutest little Manga girl!!! I just can't get enough of these stamps. She has been colored with my copic's. So I am entering this into the Copic Creations Challenge for FAVORITE COMBINATIONS, which is purple of course I have used,
V91,V93,V95,V99 and BV08,V09,V06,and last N5,N3,N1. So with those colors I have used it gets to be entered into the Creative Inspirations Challenge. Then I used the sketch to Friday Sketchers, didn't get to add a lot of extras to it for the notepad was narrow but I added some ribbon from SU and made a flower with my retro punches and MS branch. I used one of the nestibilites for my Manga girl to sit on.
Well need to get some things done and get ready to go back to work tomorrow, 3 am comes really early. Thanks for stopping bye Big Hugs!!
