For a Fairy Sweet Mom~

The work week is here. Even though it is very cold out, it looks like it just may be a bright and sunny day. Which will be perfect, since today is a cleaning day. Yes, it makes me want to go outside, but it also helps me to stay motivated.
For today, I only have one card (I was planning on having two, but didn't get time to put it together). You will just have to wait until tomorrow. ;)
You may have noticed that I have a new favorite line of digital stamps (Tiddly Inks). Not only does she have some amazing freebie over at PCP (have to ask to join her group), but now she has a new store. Which makes me drool all over myself! Plus as if you needed a reason to use these digis, she holds a challenge every Tuesday. I also can't forget, about all of the eye candy her DTs make with them, too. Wow! Now can you see some of the reasons why I'm nuts over Tiddly Inks.
Now for my card (using a Tiddly Ink digi, lol)~
Challenges used:
The crazy challenge: bling bling (don't we all love a little bling bling)
SD: something old (mine is paper, I have tons)
