Sketches by Carly

Happy Friday everyone! I'm so thrilled to have a slow-down day!  I hope you all have super fun plans for your day today!

Today I have super exciting news!  Carly and Kris from Sketches by Carly have invited me to be on their DT!  I know...SO cool right?  Well, today is my first day participating and I gotta tell ya...it was a tough one!  This sketch's sponsor is La-La Land Crafts and with all the cute images of theirs that I own I had a hard time deciding what to do!  I settled on this super adorable Sugar and Spice Marci.   The paper was a super easy pick too and is from DCWV The Sweet matstack and I had several cute puffy cupcakes so I had to use one of those.  The only thing I wasn't sure what to do with in the sketch was the squares but since I turned the sketch on its side I thought the 'text' language, hb2u, would be perfect!

So, there you have it!  Make sure you participate in this challenge as the winner will win one La-La Land Crafts stamp of their choice...so exciting!

I am also going to enter this into the Touch Twin Markers challenge which is to color a person image.  I hope you all have a super day!

Thought of the day:  When nothing goes right...go left!

Clearing the Clutter Challenge

Hello! Welcome to a very late Friday post! I wanted to be sure to post for our Clearing the Clutter Challenge but I just didn't have time to get something done to get a post up "on time."

So...how is this cutie card a CTCC card? Well, a couple of days ago I decided to clear off my stamping area a little bit (boy does it look better) but I just couldn't clear off this stamp and paper before I made a card with it so to further help me clear the clutter I went ahead and made a card! Good deal, huh? Anyway this cute cupcake shaped card is from My Scrap Chick and is an SVG file. Of course the image is the cutie Marci from La-La Land crafts. This card is very basic but I still think it has a cute factor for sure!

So...wanna see what Tana did for her Clearing the Clutter challenge post? Just go HERE to see! It is a neat one for sure!

Alright, I'm off to create for tomorrow's post! I'm looking forward to it, too! Have a wonderful Friday evening!

Have a Super Day!

Well, here it is Wednesday already...the week is going by super fast! Tonight is Kyler's Christmas Concert. There will be a bell choir, strings, and a worship band. Hope to see you there!

Today's card is such a fun one and one I've had stuck in my head for awhile! The super cute star boy image is from La-La Land Crafts (check out their customer gallery HERE, too!) and was given to me by my friend Kristine for my birthday. Isn't he just so cute?!? The paper is all from SU! See that super cute star border punch? It is a Martha Stewart punch and I got not to long ago...so glad I could use it on this as I think it ads a fun little element to the card. This card, along with a little gift, is off to my nephew for his birthday.

Now for something personal. If you would, please, send up a prayer for my son Jon. He was doing some training and got the ring and middle finger of his left had smashed in the hatch of a Stryker on Monday. Today is the day he finds out the results of the x-rays. Possible surgery if it is bad enough. Please pray for no fractures, no surgery, a quick and relatively pain free recovery for him. Thanks so much everyone!

I hope your day is filled with blessings, either for you or that you are one for someone else. Have a great Wednesday everyone!
