Since this post is about Rick St. Dennis I wanted to share another card I entered in their DT Call. The objective was to create one "Cute" project and one "Creepy" project. The latter is something I had some slight trouble with as it is out of my norm. However, I did have a lot of fun literally thinking out of the box for this one. 

So here it is - I used Skull with Roses

Black Cardstock - Stash
Striped, Polka Dots, Red Cardstock - Recollections
Heavenly White 80# Cardstock - Paper Temptress

Pattie's Creations Challenge #109: Easter

Hello again!

It's time for another challenge over at  Pattie's Creations!

Pattie approached me about a month ago and asked me if I would like to join her very talented design team and create with a fantastic group of ladies. To which, I obviously replied YES!

So somethings you should know about Pattie's Creations! 

Pattie Gomez is a talented lady who creates some very cute images. To see for yourself go ahead and check out her Etsy Shop! 

She designs with a special little girl in mind called Pattieboop and her trust sidekick Allie! Pattie describes them below:

 "Pattieboop is an 11 year old girl who is very opinionated. She was created by me, Pattie Gomez on September 7, 2009. Pattieboop is an average 11 year old and she loves dressing up. She is very petite in nature but stands tall because her mother always told her that “If you stand tall you will one day become someone important”. Pattieboop always remembers her mother’s words and makes sure she is noticed. 

Pattieboop has a favorite pet named Allie. Allie is a slender black cat and loves playing and spending time with Pattieboop. Alllie spends most of her days napping and her nights are spent getting in to mischief…" - Pattie Gomez
