One of the designers is holding the blog candy prize, and it is worth $50!!!

I am featuring Pure Innocence Gymnast Girl for you.  I absolutely LOVE the sentiments that are in this set!  I have a few projects to show off with lots of pictures so let's get right to it!  First up, I have an 8" x 8" scrapbook layout to share with you.  It doesn't actually contain a picture, but the PI as my "picture".  I plan to hang this in my budding gymnast's room :)  Here it is all framed up.

 A detail shot of the cute Pure Innocence image mounted on a panel of vellum stitched over some patterned paper.  She is colored with Copic markers and her leotard was paper pieced.  I accented her with a heart from Hearts a Plenty Die-namics and a couple flower brads.

And a look at the awesome sentiments stamped on Fishtail Flags - the Sweet Tooth flag cut using the Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics and the blue flag cut with the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics.  I stitched these in place and added a heart from Hearts a Plenty and a button.

I just had to use the Peace Sign Die-namics to coordinate with the main sentiment - Peace, Love, & Gymnastics!  There is also a bit of the Jumbo Squiggle Border peeking out, embellished with flower brads. 

Here is a peek at a trio of banners I used at the top of the page.  These were cut from patterned paper using the new Rounded Banner STAX Die-namics. 

And I couldn't not add a Plentiful Petals flower to this - LOVE. this. flower.   The medium and small flower were used to create this flower.  I used one of the included centers and a button for the center.

Here is the layout shown a little larger, not in the frame.

Here is another look from a different angle.  I added lots of dimension with foam tape and Jody boosters.  You can see I tucked a couple more Rounded Banners under the flower.  The Small Scallop Border was also stitched to the Bubblegum cardstock under the large sentiment stamped on a Fishtail Flag.

And I also have two cards to show you using Gymnast Girl.  For both I colored the gymnast with Copic markers and paper pieced her leotard.  For this card I created a background using Sweet Tooth cardstock and the smallest of the new Jumbo Cloud STAX Die-namics - LOVE this look!  I also used a couple pieces of Fress Cut Grass to give her a place to stand. 

Here is a look at the Jumbo Squiggle border I tucked behind the image.  You can also see here how I popped up one layer of the grass and put her feet between the two layers so it looks like she is actually standing in the grass.

Here is another look at this sweetie and the cloud background I created.  I know the sky isn't usually white ;)  I just liked this look, rather than white on blue - lol!  Creative license, right?

And the interior with two more sentiments from Gymnast Girl stamped on Clouds. 

Here is my second card using Gymnast Girl.  I colored her in darker tones here.  I think I will save this card to give to my daughter's coach next year :)  I went all out with the Rounded Banner STAX Die-namics for this card.

A detail shot of the Jumbo Squiggle Border and Wonky Scallop Border behind the Bubblegum grosgrain ribbon.

This sentiment is from the All Occasion Sentiments set.  I stamped it on a flag from First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics, which was shortened using Joanne's cut & re-cut method.

And the inside of the card with a sentiment from Pure Innocence Birthday Girl.  Two sizes of Rounded Banners finish it off.

Here are the new Die-namics I have used tonight.  (Links for all products are in my recipes below.)
