Attitude Girl



Good morning everyone! I colored this cutie a while back, but could not decide on the papers I wanted to use....something I always seem to struggle with! I have enough designer papers to last me
at least three years.....that's probably why I struggle....just can't find the RIGHT papers! Wish I had a better way of organizing papers!!!!!I store it in the plastic scrapbook containers according to company, seasons, holidays, etc. but it still does not meet my needs!
I made this card for Magnolia and Haenglar and Staenglar challenge blog which features a fabulous sketch by the talented Kathy. I colored my Haenglar girl with inks and I used papers by K&Co.'s Julianne collection, a gift from my dear friend Claudia. Thanks, Hon!
The exquisite stickpin was a gift from a sweet friend and I am very grateful to her for thinking of me in such a special way! Love you Sweetie!!!!

Thank you so much for visiting. Hope you have a wonderful day! Hugs, Christina

    Another lovely card & yes, Christina......she does have a lot of attitude going on! LOL Love your beautiful coloring. Love those papers too.

    I started sorting my DP by color. This seems to work better since I always seem to choose DP for the color. And then I of course keep my holidays separate........Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc. But I'm like you.........I have a TON of paper. LOL Can we really have TOO much? LOL I don't think so! LOL And then I have a lot of digi papers too.......but those are much easier to store...:)

    Have a great week!
    Huggies ~

    This is adorable, Christina! I have the same paper issues as you. So hard to decide, and so hard to organize!

    This is one of my most favorite cards that you have made Christina and I know why too. I love the way you have colored Miss Priss with the pale pink and blue. I love that combination. Gorgeous papers too. I know what you mean about finding the right paper. I too have a lot of paper, but when I get my assignment I start pondering my card and it seems that the new creation takes on its own personality and I have to find the paper that suits that personality. That is probably one of the hardest parts of building a new card for me - Everything came together on your beautiful card Christina!!
    Hugs Sandy
