Aloha!

TGIF everyone!!!
Oh my goodness!!! Here is post ONE out of THREE for today :) Yippeee!

Whoosh!!! I had a bit of a bloggy scare yesterday, eeek!
Tried logging in and Google/Blogger was telling me that everything was "disabled and removed" due to the possibility of spam! Say what?!?!
But then one of my blog-besties suggested re-verifying my account with Google - best advice ever!!! Within seconds everything was back to normal :) :) :) Thank you, Julie!!!

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 :)
