Hi ya everyone!!!
 BIG NEWS!!!  Melissa Jenkins the artist behind Meljen's Designs is setting up her own digital stamp shop.   HERE is the link to the new shop!  We are all so very excited for Melissa.  Now remember Melissa still will sell her rubber stamps through Whimsy and those can be found HERE.
Did you know that this is a blog hop too!?  So if you just happened by my blog and want to join the fun for a chance at some freebies please start HERE.
With the new change comes a NEW release!!!
 My first creation is for fun! I just love this bunny image!
I colored this guy up with the softest Copics I had and used my Whimsical stack from DCWV.  I love this sentiment too and thought it was appropriate for my card!
However, let's not forget that we also have a NEW challenge for you this week - NO Patterned paper! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!  This is TRULY a challenge.  I love my pretty papers - so I struggled - but this image is still too sweet!

Oh my gosh - so cute!!! Well now I'll show you my card - which honestly is a bit on the strange side for me! LOL...I don't know I just couldn't see past the plain card stock on this one!  You have to check out my teamies cards on the challenge blog - they made this challenge look EASY!!
Now this is a hop...SO...you should have come from Marlena's blog!!!  Wasn't her creation just GORGEOUS!!! I love Marlena's work - the colors are so very vibrant!  Now you are off to the Super Sweet and talented Nicole's blog!!!  Happy Hopping!  In case you get lost along the way - here's the talented line-up!

    Both cards are beautiful Melissa. It is sooo hard not to use dp, isn't it? My favorite is the bunny with the pencils and paintbrush - I absolutely love the soft pastel colors on this :)

    I think you did incredibly well with the solid CS. OK, so maybe the splashes of orange on the sentiment act a little bit like a patterned paper, but simple cards can made such a bold statement! Love the flowers.

    I really like the soft colors of your bunny card. It is a strong contrast to the vibrant colors of the bear card. Both are great! You did a wonderful job not using pattered paper!
