Dreamy Castle

Happy Saturday! Did ya'll enjoy a nice Christmas, filled with fun surprises? Mine sure was! Andrew really surprised me this year!! He's apparently been saving like mad and got me a new camera - a Nikon digital SLR! I've been dreaming and drooling over a DSLR for about 2 years now so I'm just blown away and super excited to finally have one! Now I just have to learn how to use it! :)

Now if you saw today's Inspiration Challenge already you might have noticed that I recommended the site that Stef used as this week's inspiration. I stumbled upon PoshTots a few years ago and although I can't afford much of anything there I just love going to look and drool at the amazingly fabulous designs that they have! I tend to be drawn to the classy, vintage and elegant looks and when I saw this gorgeous baby room, I was taken in immediately! Talk about fit for a little prince and princess! And you must check out the playhouses. They really mean it when they say luxury playhouses!

About the card.... I pulled out this sweet castle stamp from Rubbernecker and several paper patterns in icy blue. Once I decided on the papers the design came together rather quickly. The pattern behind the castle is from a little Making Memories journal notebook. It was a bit to long to fit on the front so I did some distressing and sort of fan folded the paper to get the right fit. The castle is stamped in Jet Black ink and lightly watercolored. I pulled out a few silver and gray Prima leaves to accent it along with the flowers and finished it off with some pretty ribbons and Dew Drops. Hope you likey! :) Have a fabulous and relaxing weekend! I'm off to checkout the Archiver's here in Atlanta and hopefully Hobby Lobby!
