As some of you know, my lil Nicky was Prairie Fairy's April Jr. Guest!

And, unfortunately, halfway through, he got sick and then once he was better, he had a lot of schoolwork to catch up on, so he was not able to participate in the last few challenges...
But he wanted to create something to share with you today using "Beggin", the cutest dog ever!

And that's because he looks so much like my sister's dog,
Riley James ;)

Also, I have to let you know that Nicky wanted to also use a stick on his card, but had no luck in finding the "perfect kind of stick" for this lil cutie to play fetch with!!! LOL!

Here's Nicky's card...

Thank you so much Roberta for having Nicky and myself be a part of your Design Team!!!

But we are most definitely looking forward to the week! It is suppose to go into the 70's and we have a T'Ball game to get to Saturday morning ;)  Family time!!!

Busy like a Beee!!!

Hi again!
First, if you would like to meet my "Princess and the Cherry" please scroll down to the next post too :)
Thanks!!!

I had a lil fun last night while watching a movie with DH :)

It was a lil before midnight, so I decided that I just had to play some more with my Beeez Kneeez Kit!!!

I needed a lil something extra to stay awake ;) 

So I decided to use the following challenges...

When I started my cards, I was using this challenge -

- Whimsical Wednesdays: Diedrich Dare Challenge #32: Color Challenge

But, I missed the midnight deadline, LOL!
So, then I moved on to their next challenge for this week :)

- Whimsical Wednesdays: Diedrich Dare Challenge #33 - Spring

The Bumble Bees will be buzzing around soon enough ;)

Also used these challenges ;)

- 2 Sketches 4 You - Kazan's Sketch #51 

- Crazy 4 Challenges #34 - CASE it! (I CASEd Barbara!)

- Die Cuts R Us Challenge #36 - Double Duty (Create 2 projects!)

- Papertake Weekly - Do Something Different!

(My 2nd time stamping directly onto DP

and trying to keep it plain and simple, lol, so not my style!)

Everything is from the kit, except for the black base of the cards...

To be honest, I wasn't too sure about the above card...

it was plain DP, but then I just had to add the flower to the center of it ;)

What do you think?!

Should I have left it CAS???

I love these sparkly handmade dictionary paper flowers!!!

This was my last one :( sniff!

I may have to try to copy and create some of my own :)

The Princess and The... Cherry?! *ETA

Good morning :)

Okay, first question of the day -

Who is messing with Blogger's pic downloading options?!?!

It took forever to get these up >:(   Geesh!

Ok, now that that is out of my system, LOL! ;)

Here's question #2!

Have you ever heard of the story called...

"The Princess and the Cherry"???

No?!

Me either!!!!
LOL!

But here she is!!!

Princess Cherry can be The Princess and the Pea's cousin...

right?! :)

I never realized that even though there are cherries on these adorable images -

that the Peas can remain Peas! LOL!

I turned them into cherries too! hee hee!

And I love how it turned out :)

My boys were not too crazy with me trying to change the fairytale story from a Pea to a Cherry!

They will not be fooled ;)

So first up, is my Alice-inspired card for

Friends Having Fun Pop Culture Challenge #1

and

Oh, Alice! Chapter 10: Queen of Tarts...

Oh, Alice Chapter 10: Queen of Tarts...

On this the White Rabbit blew three blasts on the trumpet,

and then unrolled the parchment scroll,

and read as follows:

"The Queen of Hearts,

she made some tarts,

All on a summer day:

The Knave of Hearts,

he stole those tarts,

And took them quite away!"

Uh ohhhhhhh...someone has stolen the Queen's Tarts! That's a no-no! We need to restore the sweetness back to Wonderland, don't you agree? That means it's time for a sweet treat here...or maybe a mushroom or two? I think I saw one floating around here that said "Eat Me" ;)

Your mission, should you choose to accept it,
is to incorporate FOOD into this week's project!
Everyone loves a little treat, right? hee, hee

We have ANOTHER TREAT for you today...and it's a rather LARGE and generous portion!
We are thrilled to welcome CLEAR AND SIMPLE STAMPS as our sponsor this week! The fabulous prize? A whopping $25 Gift Certificate to the Clear and Simple Stamps Store! We are so excited and grateful and can't wait to see what delectable delights YOU come up with...and also to see who the random winner will be!

Clear and Simple Stamps was soooo very kind to send me some
"Make a Wish" images to create with :)
Thank you!!!

And look!!! No pattern paper!!!

Hmmm, it seems that I may have gone a bit "Twilight-y"...

so sorry, lol!

I guess with the new Eclipse trailer being released at the same time that I was trying to create this card -

I got a bit confused - Edward can do that to a girl ;) hee, hee!

The inside...
