Thank You!

It's Tuesday! 
Sassy Cheryl's challenge this week is Give Thanks!
You can create any kind of "thank you" card or project.
I really wanted to use a different Sassy Cheryl image for this project, but my printer was not cooperating.
So, I decided to use Sassy Cheryl's rubber stamp--True Friendship.
You can purchase this adorable image as a digital stamp, too!
Here is my creation:

The paper comes from  American Crafts.
The sentiment comes from a clear stamp from Hero Arts.
I just love Sally...honestly, I just love coloring Cheryl's images!
Oh, and the image that wouldn't print...don't worry...I got the printer working and I am going to use that one for the upcoming Anything Goes challenge next week!

They are so talented!!
Have a great Tuesday, my friends!

Happy Birthday, Haden!

Today is my second son's birthday and to celebrate we had turkey dinner and ice cream cake!
Of course, I made a card for him. 
I used this cute little Sassy Cheryl's image called: Birthday Balloon Boy
I purchased this image at Squigglefly.
Here is my creation:
And I made this one, too!


I think he liked it...but then again...he is 14 years old! 
Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great Sunday, my friends!

Get Your Spook On!

It's getting closer and closer to Halloween! 
Although I am not a fan of this holiday and I will tell you why...
Stuffing 5 kids into costumes and then allowing them to consume tons of sugar is not exactly ideal!
Plus, even as a small child, I was always frightened of hayrides where masked teenagers jump out of the woods with chainsaws. And  grown adults scare the bejesus out of you as you try to find your way through a corn maze.
Then there was the one time, on Halloween night, I ran right smack into a tree and broke my nose. Knocked myself out cold! The next day, I had two black and blue racoon eyes and looked like a zombie for weeks!
See? Me like Halloween...not so much.
But Sassy Cheryl's newest challenge is Get Your Spook On.
It's cute and not so spooky!
Here is my creation:


I made 5 of these cards to send to my adopted soldiers this past weekend. 

They probably won't receive the cards until after Halloween but hopefully it will make them smile.

Creepy Cute

Creepy Cute?!
 Is there really such a thing as creepy cute? 
Tiddly Inks newest challenge #120 is just that...Creepy Cute.
So...for this challenge, I colored up the digital image titled Vamp Me.
Here is my creation:


The paper is from My Mind's Eye~Wicked.
I colored in the image using Copic markers.
Skin-E000,00,11
Vampire-E21,25,27
Victim-E53,47
Other-R35,37,C3



The victim's hair (get it...victim?!) was so much fun to color! 
I try to color at least one image before bed each night now that school is back in full swing. 
This was last night's coloring session.
I used a circle die cut and added a few red dots to embellish the card.
I added the computer generated sentiment: Love bites...
Does anybody remember the CBS TV show called Moonlight with Alex O' Loughlin?
It was my all time favorite vampire series. This image reminds me of the couple--
Mick St. John and Beth Turner.
I was obsessed with this show!!! 
He was the vampire and she was the human in love with each other. Sigh! 
This Tiddly Inks image is an all time favorite of mine!!! 
Anyways, thanks for stopping by!

Sassy Cheryl's Dies and Punches Challenge

Howdy, friends!
Did you all have fun blog hopping?
I sure did.
I hope your week is going well!
I am not one to complain...in fact, I am usually the one who finds the positive.
But let me just tell you how I am struggling with Physics class.
Arrrghhh! I can't find anything positive! My cosines have negative answers! 
Anyways, this week's new challenge at Sassy Cheryl's is Punches and/or dies.
Here is my creation:
This is a Kraftin' Kimmie set from Cheryl Alger called Best Fur-iends
The image is a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e! To the 24th power!
And I really love the sentiment: Having a ruff day?
It should say: Having a ruff semester?
I colored in this pair using Copic markers and chalked in the clouds.
The little scalloped circles comes from my Friskars border punch.
Coloring in this image really did bring a smile to my face. I should be sending this card to myself. However, this one has been mailed to my sister.
Okay...click here to check out the other fabby Sassy gals projects!
Have a great Tuesday!
