Progressive Challenge #2

Yes, I am running WAY behind, almost forgetting to do my two progressive challenge cards. This one is for the challenge at The Outlawz. This sweet image is from All Dressed Up. Isn't she darling?!!! And may I say, I'm happy with the way I colored her. Coloring for me is very stressful, and I'm very inconsistent with the results. Today, however, I really, really like it. No doubt tomorrow will be a different story!!
 

From the Heart Progressive Challenge

As most of you know, I totally adore snowmen. So imagine my delight when I got this cutie FREE for playing along last month in the From the Heart progressive challenge. Nothing like waiting till the last minute though to put him to use!! But I made it before the month was over. You can find the January Stamp of the Month, Little Snowman, HERE at From the Heart. Hurry up and create with him this month and share you creation HERE at the From the Heart Blog and you'll receive next month's stamp of the month set free!! Fun, fun, fun!!!

I Heart You

Tuesday Fresh Brewed Designs had a new digi release...please head over to FBD, you're gonna love what you see! In my fantasy world, I believe I was the muse for this image, Face 2!!! LOL! Short red hair, need I say more?!!! The instant I saw this image I knew I had to use it on a card. So all you short hair ladies unite and raise your coffee mugs high because today, we rock!!!
  

Sweet Treat

It's Wednesday and time for our latest sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. Actually, it's an old sketch, brought back for our last Wednesday of the month "blast from the past." It's a good one, don't you agree?!!

And I've got another goodie for you, our sponsor...it's Fresh Brewed Designs. Just yesterday Heather released some super gorgeous images so be sure and check 'em out!

For my card, I used the yummy Sweetheart Cupcake. I adore this image! Perfect for those few Valentine cards I send. I know, I know, I totally messed up the sketch. I had it in my mind this was exactly where the sentiment would go, even cutting out my image circle off center to accommodate the sentiment. Well imagine my surprise when I looked at the sketch again and discovered my sentiment was supposed to go in a different spot!!! I tried it in the bottom right corner but it didn't look good at all so I stayed with my original mixed up plan!!! Sure hope you can join us this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.
  

Fresh Brewed Designs Digi Release

Welcome to the latest release at Fresh Brewed Designs. Heather has really come up with some fun and unique images. I used Face 6 on my card. I wish you could see it in real life...I used wink of stella on her "mask" and the blue strip is glitter paper as well. I can't tell you the last time I created with so much sparkle!!! Yes, I'm being sarcastic as I am not a lover of glitter (I know, I heard some of you GASP!!). I love these face images!! Come back Thursday when I share another one.

Stay safe and warm if you're in the path of the latest winter storm. We got 8 inches of snow yesterday in Pittsburgh and my back is feeling it from all that shoveling.

Basil

It's Tuesday and time for a look at what's new at Doodle Pantry. Actually, what's new is old!!!! We call the fourth Tuesday of the month Flashback Focus. Laurie will focus on an older product, offering it at a discount for a week! Here is the newly, color added, Basil set. You know me, I used the color version along with papers included in this set. Don't you just love the colors?!! I know I do. Check out the three sets  released today, and one is free with purchase, Little Girl Valentine, TODAY ONLY. Don't miss out!
 

Thinking of You

This week, over at The Outlawz, we're having an Anything Goes theme for our clean and simple challenge. So the sky's the limit. Of course I was running behind so mine had to be also quick and easy!!! I enjoy making my own stamped backgrounds, so that's what I did here, using a stamp set from Avery Elle called All Squared Up. In my hurried state, I goofed up a portion of the background, so the white and black strip served as a cover up! Problem solved. Sure hope you can join us at The Outlawz for our anything goes clean and simple challenge.
