Let's Cool Down!

In most places around the U.S. we are looking for ways to cool off!!!

So let's think of Winter, Snow and Christmas ;)

This week, Pixie Dust Studio's challenge them is 

"Let's Cool Down"

Create a card/project with a Winter/Christmas theme!

For my Christmas card, I decided to use "Happy Birthday Jesus" digital image...

I also used the following challenges to help me out :)

- Ribbon Carousel Challenge #6: Sketch
- Do You Stack Up Challenge #23: Happy Birthday

- Cupcake Craft Chalelnge #145: Things with Tails
- Southern Girls Challenge#20: Christmas

Another card using up some more of my scraps! Loooove it ;)

A card that is perfect for either boy or girl!
and yes, it's turned into a bad habit!!!
I always have to tweak or move something around on a sketch, sigh...

I have another card to share!!!

For this card, I wanted to use a new image, "Muddy Buddy"...

I also used the following challenges for this card:

- The Deconstructed Sketch #5

- Cupcake Craft Challenge #145: Things with Tails  

Okay, I know, lol! It's not exactly a Christmas Card..
but I did use Christmas DP!!! Ha!!!
It's Fancy Pants Happy Holidays!
I just thought that the distressed look would look good with the piggy image ;)
What do you think???
and I looove this layout! I know that it's a square card and that I used the circles on the in the wrong spot, but hey, the inspiration is all there ;)
and it's definitely a sketch that I will use for inspiratino again!

Thanks so much for stopping by, peeking and leaving a comment!!!
Happy Thursday :)

"Oh Happy Day" Sneak Peek!

Good evening :)

I have a lil sneak peek for you!

"Oh Happy Day"

I am entering my card to the following challenges:

- Cupcake Craft Challenge #93 - Summer Delights

Here is my card featuring "Making Lemonade"...

I have acquired a bunch of 'fruity' dp - pears, watermelons, strawberries, cherries... but no lemons! LOL! I thought that this bright flowery dp from Cosmo Cricket would be perfect for her instead ;)

Don't those lil Primas look adorable?! My lil sis, Sarabeth, bought those for me :) Thank you, lil sissy!

Mark your calendars ;)

You don't want to miss these "cheek-pinching" cuties!!!

Enjoy your night!

See you tomorrow with another peek ;)

It's Saturday... Some Challenges!

Happy Day after Christmas ;)
Hope y'all survived the day of festivities! I know some of you are probably still going at it throughout the weekend! but everyone here is completly exhausted and we're taking the today (Saturday) to do nothing, lol - which technically means to do everything, since we have a million toys to rip out of boxes, put together and pry open battery comparments ;)  Wish us luck!
