I Dig You

Hello everyone!!

Happy Friday to you!!

I have some exciting news to share.  :)

I was asked to be a Design Team member for KaDoodle Bug Designs!!  Woot Woot!!

I am so honored to be a part of this amazing team. 

And, I absolutely LOVE all of the files that Melissa creates!

So anyways,  here is my first project I made for KaDoodle Bug Designs......

 Here is a side view:

This super cute cut file is from KaDoodle Bug Designs (of course!)

It is a newer release, title "Mudpie Mikey".

Isn't it sooo adorable!!

The background hills and sun, plus that sweet little face stamp, are all from the Peachy Keen July 2012 Stamp of the Month set.

The sentiment is a stamp from Joy's Life "Punny Animals".

And that  will about do it.

I hope you enjoyed my card.  :)

Challenges entered:

Peachy Keen: Photo/Color Inspiration  (I used the colors from the photo as my inspiration)  I used all but the red.  :)
