Sweet Sketch Wednesday and Sassy Cheryl's

It's a glorious day, time for a new Sweet Sketch. And here is the wonderful creation Arlana is challenging you to. Who is our sponsor this week you ask?
It's Sassy Cheryl's, and our grand prize winner will win a $5 gift certificate!! How fun!

I was lucky enough to get the chance to play with this image, Tricycle Fun. Ah to be a kid again!! I used copic markers on this as well as scrap designer paper, Riding hood red, Bermuda bay and Green galore card stocks. Now be sure to go to our Sweet Sketch Wednesday blog to check out what the rest of the DT created. I hope you feel inspired then to join us!

Such Fun Colors

Check out this color combo from Scrapmaster's Paradise - Soft suede, Melon mambo, and Island indigo. I usually try to combine color and sketch challenges together, but not this time. I had to play with my new stamps from Avocado Arts called Hello Friend. I discovered them on Facebook while on vacation and joined their stamp set of the month club!

Today I had a repeat test on my leg to check out the blood clot. I keep reminding my doctor that she said I only needed to be on the coumadin for 3 months, and that time is up!!! Thursday I get blood work drawn so I will bug the doctor then for the results and the weaning process of the blood thinner. I hate taking pills so the quicker I get done with this the better! Fingers crossed.

Happy Day

Happy Tuesday! I love it when I get to show off something that was really fun to make!!!! This week, Fresh Brewed Designs is sponsoring Inspirational Card Sketches, and what a fabulous sketch to inspire you!! I used my new favorite line at Fresh Brewed Designs (okay, that's not totally true, I love ALL of Heather's stamps, both rubber and digital!), called Huckleberry Pie Goes Fishing. As soon as I saw him I knew I wanted him done in blues and greens. He was one of several images I colored while we were on our summer vacation!!

Speaking of summer, Heather is having a sale that ends August 12th, 40% off summer digis and 30% off summer rubber stamps. Hurry while the savings are hot!!

Had to Share This One

I finally got my card done for Bugaboo's Wacky Wednesday sketch challenge. After all, today is Monday so I'm cuttin' it close! I adore this sweet image, Isabella Beach. And, it just so happens, I colored her when we were at the beach on vacation a couple weeks ago!!!! Ahhhh, the fun of summer! Keeping this quick, need to get dinner in the oven.

Hi There

Happy Monday! It's not often you hear someone say that! Two reasons it's a wonderful day...first of all, it's my 19th wedding anniversary! Love ya honey! Time to pull out that wedding album and bring back the memories. The other fun part about today is it's time for our Picture Perfect Creations color combo of More mustard, Bashful blue, and Peach parfait. Quite the yummy combination.

Here's my card - a 4.25 inch square card, my favorite. I die cut the flowers then embossed them with my swiss dots folder. The sentiment circle is the only one popped up, adding even more dimension. Be sure and head over to the PPC blog to see what the other DT members created, they are all marvelous! Then play along with us, we always love when you do!

Quick and Simple

Yesterday, I started cleaning out my stamp room...and would you believe, I just now got it finished!!!!! That's why I had no card to show you yesterday and am VERY late getting this one posted! I'm not used to all the elbow room I now have!!! I wonder how long the cleanliness will last.

My card is very simple, using a Hero Arts stamp set I just got called "Joy Ride." I was inspired by the colors posted on the Rubber Redneck challenge, Island indigo, Basic grey and Whisper white. It doesn't get any easier than this!!!!

Wings and Things

Hard to believe we're into August already. Today is the first Friday which means another fun Clearly Inspired Challenge. Our theme for this challenge is "Things with Wings."

I decided to use a set today that hasn't seen ink in a very, very long time!!! This Clear Dollar Stamps set is called Home Sweet Hive. Such a fabulous set for those quick cards!!! My card ended up measuring 4.25" square, a size I absolutely adore! Yep, I hit up my scrap bin again for it too...with this size you don't need much!! Be sure and check out Lori's blog, Clearly iStamp, for inspiration from the rest of the DT. Then play along, because the more who participate, the more chances to win!!!!
