Meet Sasha!

I fell head over heals in 'stamp love' when I saw Olga and Sasha over at Jane's blog!

These gorgeous digi-stamps were Jane's new release over at Squigglefly on Saturday and I was thrilled to win the set at Sanne's blog .
This image is 'Sasha' (Olga is just as cute). I decided to paper piece her using Cosmo Cricket Mini-Deck Early Bird.
I am entering this card for Virginia's 'Beat the winter blahs' Challenge. I love these cheery colours and think they are a great antidote to all the miserable weather that we have been having recently. The 'wow' factor on this card is the gorgeous Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Collection stamp. Such a stunning image.

This card is for my dear friend Eileen. She is such a kind and supportive friend, and I feel blessed to know her.

Happy crafting everyone!
