Yawn....It'll be okay

Good morning!

Sigh...it was another 4 a.m. day here. I have no idea why we cannot sleep all night - even spent a ginormous amount of money on a sleep number bed a while back.
Oh well, it'll be okay - sleep is over-rated anyway, right?



Speaking of "It'll be okay", I have a fun card for you today.
Last week, I had an afternoon at my friend Shirley's.
Shirley had purchased many of the cute little Pure Innocence stamps by My Favorite Things, and guess who inked up a few?
Yup, ME! (You really ARE the smartest readers in the world!)

Supplies Used: Nesties, Yellow Baker's Twine, Die-Namics Cloud Die, Pure Innocence "My Umbrella", Glossy Accents, Copic Markers, Dimensional Dots, Echo Park DP, Adhesive


This little gal is from the set, "My Umebrlla". She's colored with Copic markers, stitched with Copic Multiliner, and her rain gear is embellished with some Glossy Accents. Since the forecast calls for rain here AGAIN today, I thought the image only fitting! Since the Cardinal's let the Dodger's whip 'em last night 2-1, I think the sentiment is only fitting!


I haven't done a challenge in a while, so I think I will enter this card here:
Let's Ink it Up: Stitching
Papers Scissors Rocks: Inspired by the earth (rain)
The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge: Stitching



I don't know about all of you, but I think it is time for an "Itty-Bitty Blog Candy"!!!!
Just leave me a comment, and tell me what you do with all of the cards you make!


You do NOT have to be a follower to comment, but if you are one of my followers, you'll be entered twice! I will draw a name tomorrow morning!
Good luck!

Have a great week!

Hugs and smiles,
Patti J.

The first challenge for Let's Ink It Up will be on September 5th.

The rules at Let's Ink It Up are to have fun, and get inky!!! The main goal of this blog is just to have fun! It is also to get inky! No digi images will be allowed as focal points. Your focal point must be a rubber or clear stamp. You may, however, combine a computer generated or digi sentiment, as long is it is not your focal point.

Thanks so much for dropping by!
Have a great day!

Let's Ink It Up...

Happy Sunday! We spent our first night in the camper last night. DD and her boyfriend came out and BBQ'd with us, and we had a nice evening. Sleeping was a bit different for me, but I think it will all work a bit better each time we use the camper. We're so excited about getting to spend a bit more time together! Hope your weekend was a good one too!

DESIGN TEAM CALL: Do you want to be involved in an exciting new challenge blog? Do you love rubber/clear stamping? Do you like to get inky? .......

Well! Suzanne Kleczar from "Just Love Stamping" is going to be starting up a new challenge blog. No digi's - all 'real' stamping - ink and rubber! The new challenge site will be called, "Let's Ink It Up". She's put out a DT call, and is looking for six DT members, so if you are interested in being on her brand new DT, give it a try! You have until August 8th!!! My post today is for her DT call. She's asked for our three best cards. I'm not sure these would be my three best, but they are three of my personal favorites. I'm going to take a chance and enter these three.

Have a great night - see you next week!

Hugs and Smiles!!!
