For my first project, I created a card using the new PI: Crazy for Daisies. Is she not the cutest little gal ever?! I know I say that ALL the time about the PI images... but really... she is the cutest little thing to color up with Copic markers and paper piece -- LOVE her! ☺

For my second project, I decided to make a Soccer lay-out of my son Dylan using the new PI: I Get a Kick Out of You stamp set. The PI image started off as a girl, then I changed her up to make her a little boy! And "he" looks just like my son Dylan LOL!! ☺ So stinkin' adorable! I used the new Fish Tail Banner Die-namics to create a vertical banner with my son's name, but I also used it to create a "tab" for the journaling tag I inserted into a pocket right on the lay-out. So FUN!! Hope you like it!



Here's what the little PI girl looks like:



Here's a close-up of how I turned this little PI girl into a boy!




Thanks for dropping by again today and be sure to check back tomorrow 'cuz I will be here once again for another day of MFT teasers! :-)

hugsies!
