Sweet Flowers for You

Happy Wednesday!!! Lots of stuff going on this week for me, looking forward to it all being over! I'm here to share the latest challenge over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. You'll be amazed at how fast your card comes together using this sketch! 

We have a fun and fabulous sponsor, A Day for Daisies. Be sure and take a moment to look through their shop, it's filled with some wonderful images!!! 

Like this one, Flowers for a Friend. I need a birthday card for a friend later this month and thought this would work out just fine...especially if I also sent her flowers! Maybe we'll do lunch as well! YUM! Join us for some sketchy fun at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

Celebrate

What a yummy day today!!! We are having a sweet digital stamp release at Fresh Brewed Designs. This is not the kind of sweetness that will cause you cavities (when this post goes live, I'll be in the car heading to the dentist to get a broken filling fixed!!). These sweet images are the kind that will make you say "awwwwww." Here is Lil Sweetie Make a Wish. How fun is that, a smiling cupcake?!!! Be sure and head over to the Fresh Brewed Blog to see what others have created with even more of the newly released digis from Fresh Brewed Designs.

Women are Like Angels

Happy Easter to you all!! May your day be blessed.

I'm sharing my card for our CAS challenge over at The Outlawz. This one takes a little thinking and creativity. Use the first initial of your first or last name to help you create your CAS card. Maybe it's an embellishment or image. In my case, I went with the sentiment. "A" is for Anderson and Angels!! Pushing a bit? Probably!! We have a fun sponsor this month, Bugaboo stamps. My image is Stella and Gus - Marriage - Women Angels. These two characters really crack me up with their sarcasm!! I put to use, for the very first time, my Lawn Fawn Speech Bubble Die. I cut it out a 2nd time in black to provide a little contrast. The speech bubble is also popped up...so fun!! Hope you can join us at The Outlawz for some CAS fun!!

I'd like to submit my card to the Anything Goes challenge at Catch the Bug.
 

 

Bee Happy

I wanted to remind you of the latest challenge going on this week at the Fresh Brewed Blog - The Sky's the Limit - anything you see in the sky. Bees fly around in the sky, right?!!! I couldn't resist using this Fresh Brewed Designs cutie, Bee Happy Flower. I've had this image printed off for quite some time now so why not put it to use!! I found the bumble bee pattern paper in my scrap pile too...perfect. It took me several tries on my bow to get it just right that when I finally did, I realized it was covering up the spot I wanted the sentiment to go. So why not pop it up in the middle of the flower!! Simple and sweet. I sure hope you can join us at the Fresh Brewed Blog for our sky's the limit challenge.

Happy Easter

It's April 1st...no foolin'!!! That means a new Ants in my Pantry Digital Challenge over at the Doodle Pantry Blog. Our theme is Anything Goes and you can use any digital image. I used the adorable Doodle Pantry set Easter Birdie.You guessed it, I used the color version because I needed to get one more Easter card made, and quickly! I used the great sketch I found at Sketch Saturday. Now to pop this one in the mail. Get your digi images printed off and join us for this month's Ants in my Pantry Digital Challenge at the Doodle Pantry Blog.
 

In Loving Memory

I'm always excited for Wednesdays. No, not because it's hump day, but because I get to share the newest sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. Yet another fabulous one that uses pattern papers...for those of us that hoard it and have plenty of it to go 'round!!!!! 

A new sponsor to Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, we have Deedee's Digis. You can imagine my glee with Deedee as a sponsor because not only are her images adorable, but she offers them in a color version!!! The winner of our challenge will win a $15 gift code to Deedee's Digis.  

Because I am so excited for spring and summer to get here, I went with the beautiful set My Life is Blessed.  Yes, that's the color version that I used my BG10 copic marker to add a little shadow around the bird and flower. Around Mother's Day, I buy my hanging baskets and put out my hummingbird feeder and before you know it, they've returned. And I love it!!!!! I've been in need of some sympathy cards lately so that's what I went with here. I sure hope you can join us for some sketchy fun at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.
