Lilo's Fun Friday #19 - on Saturday!

Happy Girls Day everyone!
Sorry I didn't get a chance to post a LFF project yesterday.  I decided to wait until today since this is the card that I wanted to share.  I waited til today because I thought this would be perfect for Happy Girls day.  I found out about this wonderful day last year from all my Hawaii blogging friends (they are all listed on my right side bar under "Aloha from Hawaii.")  I wish my mom had told me about it, but so glad I know about it now.  So in honor of this special day where girls are celebrated I made this card using Sister Stamps, Mei Lin.


I don't really have anyone to give this to so I kept the sentiment simple.  Yes it's another handwritten one.  That gorgeous washi paper is from Hanko Designs.  I forgot I had bought it and while rummaging through some bags I found it and two more packets of washi papers!!  Love when that happens.  (lol)  I pulled colors from the washi paper to color Mei Lin and her pin wheel streamers.  She's cut out with a wonky rectangle Spellbinder and I distress inked the inside with dusty concord DI.   I really feel bad covering up all that beautiful paper, but I think Mei Lin looks beautiful here so I'm gonna leave it as is.

O!  You all have to stop by Nadine's blog.  I saw her card this morning and I had to smile because we used the same stamped image.  Her card is beautiful!!  And I'm just not saying that because she gave me a shout out.  I truly believe she does really amazing work!  :)

Just a few things happening in my neck of the woods.  I will be very busy for the next two weeks preparing for a stamp convention and a Crafters show.  More details to follow next week.  I hope that in between I can stop by and oohh and ahhh over everyone's creations.  I wanted to say Thank you in advance for visiting me.  You all know how much I appreciate the love.
 

Okie dokie, back to the craft table to continue working creating.  I hope you all have a wonderful Girl's day and crafting weekend!!  Mahalo for stopping by!

Hugs,
Lilo

Hi Leanne,
