Let's GO!!!

It's time to play along with Pixie Dust Studio's challenge again :)

This week's theme is...  

"Let's Play!!!"

Create a card/project using your favorite sport/game/team as inspiration.

I decided to go with Car Racing!

Now don't be offended, but car racing is definitely not my fave sport...

problem is, I don't have a fave! LOL!

I do like Baseball a bit, my 7yo loves it and the season has just started! I've frozen my butt off for 2 nights in a row now, but it's out of love for him, not the sport... and there isn't anything in the world that could get me to sit down and watch an entire game of it either, too long!... I do watch a bit of car racing sometimes, but again, I can't sit and watch a 4 hour race! and after a while, they all kinda blurrrr by on the screen and I can't tell who is who! LOL!

I am so happy to have finally been able to use some of my Cosmo Cricket "Joy Ride" DP! I've been hoarding it for a looong time now! Just waiting for the perfect lil car image ;)

and of course, "Wink's Ride" is just right!!!

Please do stop by and visit the other Pixies

Having a bit of an attitude lately???

Well yes, yes I have :p

LMAO!!!

I have been having some more dental/jaw issues that caused some excruciating pain last week, and even though I have finally managed some relief and am looking forward to my oral surgery appointment, it has left me a bit edgy :p  So when I spotted Audrey in my folder, I just knew that she would make me feel better :)

And, she also fits in perfectly for

The Greeting Farm's Farm Fresh Friday "Digital Get Down" Challenge!!!

It's been a while since I've used my yummy Echo Park DP! and I found all of my matching stickers too! hee hee!!! Lots of fun coloring and cutting out lil Audrey and adding on my sentiment and stickers ;)

Thanks for stopping by my friends :)

I hope you are all doing well!!!

Taylored Expressions April Blast from the Past Blog Hop!!!

It's time for another Taylored Expressions Blog Hop!!!
and this month's theme is Clean and Simple...

I pulled out my new "Hello Spring" Stamp Set and DP scraps from my last 2 Key Ingredients Kits and got to work on 3 cards :)

I just haaad to use this adorable Bunny riding in his carrot-mobile for my first card!
I just smile every time I look at him :)

I embossed my Nestie circle and tied on some ribbon...
I figured out that if I tie my bows upside down they won't turn out so bad ;)
I stamped "Happy Easter" on the inside of this card too.

For my next card, I used these two chick stamps...
they just 'crack me up'! LOL!

Everything on this card, even the ribbon and the card base! was leftover scraps!
I also stamped on the inside :) Fun!

We were also given an option to use a sketch that was designed by Sankari Wegman.
I love the simplicity of it too!
 

I used the sketch for my 3rd card...

I hope you likey!
Below is the blog hop list!

Enjoy hopping :)

Bouncy Ball Time!!!

"Bouncy Ball Riley"

It's challenge day at the Riley and Company blog today.

And for this week, Cindy has challenged us with a color challenge of...

Aqua, Yellow and any shade of Brown!

If you would like to play along with us,all you have to do is create a card/project and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword Riley0811.


Perfect!!! I've been wanting to use up some more of my Cosmo Cricket Togetherness scraps and what better way than to pair it up with some Kraft CS :)

My new stuffs that I used is this fab Stella Rose DP and a new MFT Die-namic, Flowers Trio!

I also dusted off my small tags and labels eight nesties! and used my Scalloped Die-namic with some old ribbon and a K&Company Flower Gem I had laying around ;) I love how my flower turned out!

Hey Dude, Boys Rule!!!

Hiiii :) I have a quickie card/post to share for today :)

It's my 7yo's turn to be sickie now, he's had this never-ending fever since Sunday, I think he might have strep, so we're off to the docs again today...

I just haaaaad to create a card for TGF's Farm Fresh Friday Challenge

"Let's Hear it for the Boys!!!"

How could I not! LOL! ;)

My boys picked out there fave stamp, Skater Ian!

and I just picked up these papers by Fancy Pants called "Rusted Sun", love this set! and I also used my new MFT Die-namic "Stacking Stars" and my old one "Notebook Edge"... those awesome brads are by Making Memories! I've been hording them for almost 2years! LOL! 

Stars!!!

OH! and here's a tip...

Whenever I'm coloring an image, I usually line up the Copics I am going to use and put each Copic away as I use them, that's my new "thing" to keep things tidy... I had one color left to use...but had to go do something, potty break, lol... 4yo decided to help me out and finish it up for me... sigh...

Can you guess?!?!

LOL!

And yes, he was being helpful! and to not hurt his feelings, I will still create a card with it!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
