WW & JSL

Hello friends!  We have a reminder post for you today at:

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge: Any Holiday or Birthday

I'm also linking my ATC up with the:

TGF Retro Fresh Challenge: Hearts Galore

I used some digi paper from Marisa Lerin and stamped Creeper Crew Monday from The Greeting Farm in pink, then spritzed with pink Glimmer Mist.  Tied a pink bow around it and added a gemstone heart.

We also have a new challenge for you today at:

Just Some Lines: Create a Tag!

I am also entering this into the:

Top Tip Tuesday Challenge: Tag, You're It!

I used the sweet Garden Bear image, printed on DP and colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  Added a little sticker embellishment with gems all over it and a ribbon from SU!  My TIP is this:  Try printing your image directly on some designer/patterned paper - especially if there's a lot of "white space" in your image.  It helps to fill in that blank space without having to color and gives texture to the rest of the image.  Peace.

Dilly Beans & Jellypark

Hi everyone!  We have a new challenge for you today at:

Dilly Beans: Pink & Red

I am also entering this into:

The Stamping Shack Challenge: Pink, Red, & White

I used the sweet Ginger from Dilly Beans, along with some digi paper and a sticker from SRM Stickers.  I used Spun Sugar Smooch Spritz all over the paper, added heart gems, a ribbon tag & brad.

We also have a new challenge for you at:

Jellypark:  Get in Shape

I used Jellypark's Girl with Hula Hoop, paper-pieced and colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and Stickles.  DP is from MME, and I added a couple pieces of rick rack.  Peace.

Pink Gem & Forever Friends Butterflies

Good morning! Well, 4 more days until my girl leaves me! I have so much to do between now and then, but I haven't really let myself think about it.  Some days I am totally fine with it, others I feel like I could cry from morning til night.  Total mixed feelings, but I do believe that it's all going to work out for the best.  She's a damn good kid with a heart of gold and a good head on her shoulders.  It was good that her friend Missy came to stay with us this week, because it's kind of helping me adjust slowly to her being gone.  She has gotten into the habit of hanging out with me all day, but with Missy here they are off doing their thing and having fun.  It's nice to hear the chatting coming from her room, it's nice to hear her laughing and being silly, being a teenager.  She's grown up so much in the past 2 years and I'm proud of the young lady she's growing into, but I love to see her getting to be a kid, too.  Anyway, I'll keep you all updated.  :)

Today's card is for the:

A Gem of a Challenge: Dies/Punches
and
Forever Friends: Butterflies/Birds/Animals
 

I used Chloe in Knitted Hat from Pink Gem, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  DP is from MME, and I used my banner die from MFT to create a little banner that I added the block letters to.  I added a little yellow fabric butterfly to the side, but it's difficult to see in the picture.  Aren't these images super sweet?  Have a great day, friends!  Peace.

DSB & Sweet Sketch

Goooood morning, everyone!  Have you been paying attention to the meteor reports recently?  Have you seen any yourself?  Go outside and look up, people.  Have your cameras or video recorders with you - it's fascinating.  I recently bought a telescope, and I am really looking forward to spending some evenings/nights outside with it!  I myself have not seen any meteors, but I have seen many shooting stars and some "unidentified" objects up in the sky - it makes me feel so small and fills me with wonder at the vastness of it all.  It's just amazing, isn't it?  When you really think about it, the size of our universe - and to think even that is just a small part of what's really "out there".... fascinating, truly mesmerizing.  But I digress....

 I was a busy girl yesterday, I really love spending Sundays in my craft room.  Shutting off my computer and just enjoying art.  I got all of my projects done for the week, so here's what I have for you today - this is for the:

DigiStamp Boutique Customer Competition

and

Sweet Sketch Wednesday

I used Zoe Driving, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  I added some Glossy Accents to the headlights, too.  DP is from MME, yellow brads and flower brads are from Stampin' Up!  Have a great week, everyone!  Peace.

Birdie Brown Freebie Challenge

Hello there! Just popping in quickly today to post my card for the:

Birdie Brown Freebie Challenge

I paper-pieced the sweet image, it's simple but cute.  Have a nice Sunday!  Peace.
