Challenge 85 - Music and/or Dance

Last week you all blew us away with your wonderful creations with a mode of transportation - so we look forward to what you'll show us this week. The challenge is simple - we would like you to create something that has a Music and/or Dance theme. Show us your rhythm in your paper, images, cuts, layouts and sentiments! Or any other way that you'd like! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Hey Everyone this is Melissa and I'm super excited to be posting this week because I love our sponsor, Christy Croll over at Tiddly Inks .

She is an amazing artist and a fun person too and has a wonderful blog here! This is what Christy has to say:

"I am a self-trained illustrator who likes simple, cute and quirky drawings with a sense of humor. I draw what I like and what amuses me. I hope you like them as much as I do. I hate doing dishes and folding laundry, so my house is often a mess.....Luckily, I have a fantastic husband who saves me and helps out. :) I have one daughter who makes me smile, inspires me with her funny comments, and drives me batty as she is too smart to be her age. LOL Most of the time, my illustrations come from her antics and comments. The rest of the time, they are inspired by other people's batty kids and animals...maybe yours. LOL"

Tiddly Inks is sponsoring this week and you could win a $10 gift certificate to the store.

There are some cutey cute cute images there so be sure to check them out. The design team has created some beautiful cards with Tiddly Ink images as well and here they are:
