We have a winner!!! and the DIGI-giveaway of the week!

Hola!

I am so happy I searched in to the SPAM folder last night  because I found a few entries for the challenge I proposed to you last week.  How exciting!!! So the winner is: MICHELLE! This is what she did and I love it all… the work of art, the quote and that even has Kiki Art product in it!  She also made a little tutorial that I have attached for you, in case you want to do it, too.  I have kept the exact same wording from her e-mail. Isn’t she amazing? Thanks again Michelle.

Challenge by Kiki #1 - Artist: Michelle

This is what she wrote on her e-mail:

"I have been wanting to create something for my scrap room and so I dived in
and created this altered Corkboard using the Quote: Each day is a gift!!
I used some paint stain for the outside edges of the corkboard wall organizer.
I added the fun tape Antologia Jardin to a chipboard heart and added a charm with a rhinestone.
I used embossing powder on the burgundy butterfly using the same paper as the pink and white butterfly from the Carazon Paper pack Collection.
To soften the square at the top of the corkboard wall hanging organizer I arched the pink & white paper.
I created the flower with fussy cutting the velvet heart from the Carazon Paper pack collection.
I used Basic Grey pearls for the center.
I used the Martha Stewart doily lace edge punch on the inside paper on the corkboard.
I used Smooch Spritz in Log cabin for the misting background.
I added a little Smooch spritz in vanilla to the letters to soften the black
vinyl letters and to add some bling.
Thank you for inspiring me to create something for my Scrapbook wall!
I hope I was able to inspire you too!
Have a blessed night!"

The weekend starts soon! This morning, when I dropped the kids at the daycare,  I organized a few play-dates to make the most of what is left of the Summer.  I know that I am still (and will continue) whining about how short it is!!! But I can’t help it: I LOVE SUMMER and don’t want it to end!!!.   Last weekend I have the visit of a friend and her husband and thanks to them I got to see the night of my own city and I took the kids with me.  Isn’t it funny how you take for granted nice things you have just minutes away from you and only get to see them when someone from out of town takes an interest?.  Shame on me!!!!

We went to a bar in Downtown Montreal where while you eat you have a live band playing Jazz…  My kiddos loved it and now they want to go again, yeah! Right! That is not happening every day. Here are a few pictures of the “performance” (both of the band and my kids).
