Eat More Beef!

Good afternoon everyone!  Another Sunday has wound it's way around to us again.  It sure seems like the days are going by faster and faster this year!

Today starts us off with another challenge over at Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge Blog!  The new challenge (that continues for 2 weeks) is all about Thanksgiving!  Use any DDS image and give thanks!  Link up your creation over on the challenge blog and you could be our next winner!  :O)

I used one of the cute turkeys  and added the sentiment to his sign, as it comes blank.  I used the current sketch over at Mercy's.  She always has the best stitching on her cards, so I got the bright idea that's what I was going to do too.  BAD idea!  I cannot sew for anything...look at it!  Yikes!  I'm not sure how everyone keeps the stitches all nice and even.  Just color me jealous!  Anywho...I used Copics, DP by Basic Grey, Bazzill card stock, Janome sew mini, button, ribbon & twine from stash.

I'd like to take a second to welcome Ted to the DT...so glad you're part of the team!  Jump over and visit him today!  Come on over and join us for the DDS challenge!

Cooper Celebrates with Mercy!

Good morning all!  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and an equally lovely start to their Monday!

Today I'm sharing a cute little birthday card I made using the Celebrate Cooper rubber stamp set from Anita Be Stampin!  How cute is Cooper all pinked up?  You know you love it!  Pink cows give ya strawberry milk, dontcha know?  :O)  I also used Mercy's Sketch for my inspiration. 

Simply Betty is Simply Awesome!

Good afternoon all!  I just spent the morning standing in line to get my driver's license renewed.  How much fun is THAT?  None, I tell ya!  But now I don't have to deal with it for another 6 years.  :O)

I have only recently found Simply Betty Stamps...they are so cute and definitely different.  Especially the new Punky Teens Christmas line.  I used Jimmi for today's card along with Mercy's current sketch.  I hope you likey!  Take a spin over to SBS and grab some funky stamps for yourself!  :O)

So, I'm having some issues with a few of the darker colors of my Copics.  The olive greens I used for Jimmi's coat above are the latest to do this.  It's almost as if the ink is oily.  I can't blend it, it just gets pushed around.  It's shiny too...hence the strange angle of the photo of my card above.  It's VERY frustrating!  My  friend said that I may need to refill them (even if they don't need it).  Unfortunately I don't have any of these refills.  GRRRRRRRRRR!!!  She said she's never had anything of the sort happen to her...have YOU ever heard of it?

Dare to be Sassy Thursday...Color Challenge

Hi all my crafty friends!  Are we ready for Friday yet?  LOL!  It's almost here and that means....time for another Dare to be Sassy Thursday at Sassy Studio Designs!  This week's challenge is to use pink and brown with any SSD digital image.  I love this color combo!

I did a little something different this time.  I used a Halloween image for a Valentine's Day card.  I was inspired by one of our customers who used SSD's Bewitched image for a Valentine's card.  I used Mojo Monday Sketch #122.

Have a great day...we would LOVE to see you participate in this challenge!  You know you these colors!  :O)

Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #52!

Good morning everyone!  Happy Monday!  My son and I are about to run out for some last minute groceries and the Honey Baked Ham, so it'll be a quickie!

I am finally posting my challenge for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #52!  Would you believe I got this done last Wednesday and I'm only just posting it?  Bad me!  I love Mercy's sketches and I love these little cuties by CC Designs too!  :O)  I am too happy with the way it turned out! 

I actually made the DP for this one!  How cool!  I usually hate the way it turns out when I do randomly stamped designs, but this one is better!  Maybe because it's snowflakes?  LOL!  Have a great day everyone! 

Lord Have Mercy...It's a Flutter By!!!

Good morning and happy hump day, my crafty people!!!  It's Wednesday already and you know what that means!  Flutter By Wednesday at Danni's Dreams!  This week's challenge is to use Mercy Kerin's sketch along with a butterfly, fairy or angel.  Her sketch is as awesome as her talent!!!  Be sure to check her out!!!

I think I took the sketch too literally, but it's cute with it's butterfly Christmas tree.  ;O)
