Good Thursday morning to you.  It is Digi Doodle Challenge time again  and look what I have made for the challenge.  She is called "Color My Valentine" and you can get her over at The Digi Doodle Shop..    Oh BTW have you been over there this week?  Oh do please go.  They have a new toy on the front page and I have been amusing myself with it while I contemplate my digi selections.  Just click here and you can play too.   

Back to my creation.  Doesn't she have the prettiest eyes and hair.  She reminded me of my Granddaughter #1 who is 19 and still loves to color.  She will print out 8 1/2 x 11 pages to color from my digi library.  She just sits and colors with pencils, copics or crayons.  She reminds me of myself .  We both could color for hours.

I made this at 6 1/2" square.  I am thinking about putting a ribbon hangar on it or prop it in an decorative easel for Ashley's room.  She loves to display handmade things her friends and family gift her.  I may even make it into a box for "what-nots".  If anyone out there has a suggestion for turning it into a gift, please leave me a suggestion.  I am trying to make little gifts for each of my 5 grans for Valentine's Day and this card just screams, "Make me into a project".  LOL

Now that I have shown you my contribution, please take a minute and link up your project here.  The challenge this week is the very popular challenge ' "Anything Goes" everyone can make this challenge.  You don't have to use a  Digi Doodle Shop Digi, but  you win big when you do.  Come on let's get together and have some fun.  Hope to see you there.   Hugs, Linda

  15. Linda, this is just the sweetest digi, yes she is adorable. I love to color too, always have. A new box of 64 crayolas were always a Christmas gift we laoved as kids! Beautiful design and the red ribbon just sets the whole thing off. Would be a pretty box top, and they have the pattern now for the one with a drawer. Whatever you do with this beatiful design will be lovely.
