Enchanted Slumber

Howdy!  
I hope this finds you doing okay!  Today is fortnight Monday at Forever Friends Challenges!  Our theme this go is Dies/Punches.  I think I really got the theme right this time!  Take a look at our sponsor Michelle Perkett's Enchanted Slumber:
As you can see, I went a little crazy with the die cuts!  I tried 2 new things- framed Enchanted Slumber with a die cut, that's where you cut part of the image out with the die and hand cut the rest of the image.  Scary seeing your colored image run through the die cutter!  The other thing I did was print designer papers!  I've never done this before but seeing that another of our sponsors at Forever Friends is Bearly Mine Designs, I thought I would try it, now I'm hooked!  Donna creates the most beautiful papers.  The one we used is Spring BlossomsShe has free papers on her blog, beautiful ones!



I hope you like Enchanted SlumberThe beautiful sentiment came as a Bonus from a StampArt Designs image, Pretty Petals

I hope your week is a wonderful one for you.   I hope, too, that you'll stop in at Forever Friends, post your creation and let us enjoy your work!  Please check out my team mates makes, as there is so much talent.  

Lots of Bright Spots this week, right?  There are enough to go around!
