You and Me

This fun sweet image is from Lili of the Valley. When I saw that the ABC Challenge was "You and Me", I thought of this stamp immediately! I embossed with silver Zing Embossing Powder, and colored with my pencils and loms. The DP is Stampin'Up. Hope these little sweeties bring a smile to your face!

Have a great weekend!

Pretty in Pink...

Isn't she the most adorable little lady ever?

Meet Lili! Lili is shown with her very own Awareness Ribbon! Lili is an Inky Impressions stamp that I purchased last week, and have had in hand for a couple days and have been SO anxious to ink up! I know that when you see her, you are all going to want her, so let me sweeten the deal! If you purchase this Lili, a portion of the proceeds will go the the National Breast Cancer Foundation, and also to the American Diabetes Association. See??? Sweet deal...! You get a darling stamp, and help someone in the process!

What I really like about this is that you can color her ribbon in any color to reflect whatever cause you like!

My card today, featuring Lili, is for three challenges. First, I am using the Mojo Monday sketch for this week.

Secondly, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness this month, the challenge at The Cuttlebug Spot is "Pretty in Pink". I think Lili is definitely pretty in pink!

Third, the challenge at ABC is "E is for embossing". As you can see, I used the Cuttlebug Argyle embossing folder on the pink rectangles.

Recipe: Cuttlebug Argyle Embossing Folder, Inky Impressions Stamp, Pink Ribbon DP by Stemma, Ribbon from Wal-Mart, Pink Starburst Gelly Pen, Kooh-I-Noor Pencils, Tombow and Sharpie markers.

Hope she brought a smile to your face! I'm off to change a load of laundry, and then to come play with the new set I got in the mail yesterday! A couple of weeks ago, I was the winner at the Saturday Cinema Challenge, and the sponsor was Gina K. Designs. I got to pick out a free set! I chose Theresa Momber's newest Christmas set, and I cannot wait to sit down with it!

Happy Tuesday!

My first 4-fer!

So, today, I created my first ever 4-fer! Whew! My brain is smokin' - I'll sleep like a baby tonight! I have re-vised this! I have created my first ever FIVE-fer!


First up, is the Mojo Teresa sketch for today. As Mojo turns 100 this week, the DT are posting sketches every day this week! I'm one for three.... got some catching up to do! Anyway, below is the sketch. Note that, as usual, I turned the sketch on it's end - sorry! I really tried not to!

I also followed the ABC Challenge for week two, which is: "B is for Buttons" (note the two teensy buttons on the wheels!)


Then, of course, there was the 365 Cards challenge!!! The theme is ABC's and 123's - We were to use alphabet stickers, and at least one number sticker. I don't know if you can read the little silver stickers or not - they say "SK8R"...


Last, but not least, the challenge at Pile it On, was to create a masculine card for boy or man. Done! (Thanks Lisa!!!)

Last (really!) thanks to Maria, I have also posted this on the Lots to do Challenge. This week is an open theme - post anything, so I posted this darling little Ian!!! He's too cute NOT to share!

Supplies: Stamp: Skater Ian (The Greeting Farm) DCWV Rockstar and Indian Summer Fall Mat Packs, Versafine Black Ink, Kooh-I-Noor Pencils, Letter/Number Stickers


Well, hope you are all well. I am going to blurf for a few minutes, watch the Cardinals play ball (DH flew out today to watch some baseball with DS), and work on my birth announcement order!


Have a wonderful night!!!

Happy Birthday Dear Friend!!!

Don't you just love a new challenge? Hannah told of an ABC challenge starting up for the third time, and it just happened to be at 'A' this week! So... I'm going to give it a try and see if I can keep up!

The challenge site is here, and the theme for this week is: A = Anything Goes (with the thought of keeping animals in mind)...

I had this adorable little retired/revived TAC stamp that has never been inked. I thought with holidays fast approaching, this would be a good one to bring out and ink up! I am so pleased with how much fun it was to color!

Supplies: Stamps are TAC, Stampin' Up, and Katie & Co., Versafine Black Ink, Kooh-I-Noor Pencils, Watercolor Paper, Provo CS, DCWV CS.

Friday's challenge at 365 Cards, was to make your card look like a "gift"! Well, as I was on my way out the door for a trip to Michael's and Hobby Lobby, actually MAKING a card took a back seat to shopping for more fun stuff to make cards with! Lol... So this one is "falling off a log easy"! DP and some ribbon and a touch of glitter! Period. 5 Minutes tops! Not totally happy with it, but my priorities were definitely gathering wool in a shopping cart in another city an hour from my work table!!!

Whew....sure wish I'd known today's theme prior to shopping yesterday! Oh well, perhaps there is a scrap of toille DP in my bin!

Supplies: DP (unknown), Ribbon (unknown), Inkadinkado, Color Box Chalk Ink, Burgandy.

______________________________

I'm back! Rather than make an additional post, I'm posting today's 365 Cards challenge, which is to use toille on our cards! I did have a piece in my bin, so with a bit of ribbon, adhesive, and a Hero Arts sentiment, this card is finished! I thought I'd combine the Mojo Monday sketch with it, as I hadn't managed to make anything yet for it! So....here's a last minute two-fer! Cheers!!!

I wish you all a good day! I'm going to go immediately to Wal-Mart, and hopefully avoid at least some of the trauma involved in going there on a Saturday morning on the first week of school! Tee Hee!

Hope you all have a great weekend! Think positive, happy thoughts! If you get time, please drop by Shirley's blog and wish her a happy birthday! I'm sure she will shoot me when she finds out that I divulged this top secret info, but she is 19 today! Looks pretty darned good for her age, too!!!
