Before I get to my card for this week's challenge, I have some BIG news to share! Kimmie has invited me to become an official Krafty Girl!! Now after much consideration...YEAH RIGHT!!! LOL, like I even had to think about it! I accepted immediately! These past couple of months have been so much fun, and I was dreading the end of my guest term. She has also asked my partner in crime, fellow guest designer Donna Wardle to become permanent member of the team as well!! I know we are both over-the-top with excitement to become official Krafty Girls!! Thank you so very much Kimmie for this opportunity! What a blessing to be part of such a talented team of girls!!
Whew! Ok, on to my card this week. I am still totally on an Annie Rodrigue pirate kick! I just love these new images. For this challenge, I have inked up "Polly" and "Captain Scurvy". What a pair!! The images were all stamped on Neenah cardstock and coloured with Copic markers (gee, imagine that!). I drew in the deck and railing of a pirate ship. "Shiver Me Timbers" is part of the "Pirate Sentiment" set. I imagine this is something the good ol' Captain might say when met with such a gorgeous gal like Polly!

I hope you find time to play along with us this week. You can hop over to the Challenge Blog to feast your eyes on the samples by the Krafty Girls for inspiration! Remember, you must use Kraftin' Kimmie images to be eligible for the weekly prize!
Go on, MAKE A SCENE this week!
Blessings,
Melanie
