Charisma's looking for EASEL CARDS! and i made my FIRST ONE!

okay, you guys should know by now that i'm all about trying something for the first time, right? well can you believe up until last night, i had NEVER made an easel card?! fer realzies!

so i had a panic attack when our Charisma challenge was announced, and i had to try my hand at one of these puppies, but seriously, i had TOO much fun with it!

so for our Charisma challenge this week, let's see you rock the EASEL CARD!

i was happy with my first attempt - here she be:

tell me this isn't the CUTEST bunny image you've ever seen!

he's "Sweet Bunny Dreams", from the brand new Some Odd Girl springy release!

and because i couldn't decide on the BEST way to anchor my
card down, i embellished to my little heart's content:

so the deets... our challenge this week is sponsored by Scrapbook News and Review magazine (who absolutely rock, and not just because i'm on Staff!) - one winner will win a three month subscription to the mag! WOO HOO!

ALSO sponsoring this challenge is none other than Some Odd Girl (tee hee!)... while i do make an effort to showcase our sponsors' images, i'm ALWAYS thrilled when my peeps pair up and i can play guiltlessly! Some Odd Girl will give one winner THREE digis of their choice from SomeOddGirl.com!

and we have a THIRD sponsor for this one! The Stamping Boutique will award one winner FIVE digis of their choice from their shop! so generous! check out their store HERE.
