Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #163 - April Showers...Spring Flowers

Good Morning Blog Land! I am running a bit behind this morning....Arrrrrgh!

The date totally got away from me and I forgot to write my post last night. I guess I was too busy loving on that sweet, adorable, new Grandson of mine. Lol (great excuse, right?)

It is Tuesday and you know what that means. It's time for another fun challenge at Sassy Cheryl's. 

Our Sassy DT Sista, Dawn of Dawn a New Day has chosen a perfect challenge this week...

April Showers! We are having a week of rain and clouds here in Myrtle Beach. 

It makes me sooooo lazy. Not good for my whole work attitude.  :)

I chose my favorite umberlla toting cutie, Calli. She is my go to rainy day gal. Don't you just love her pig tails and that sweet little half smile? She just melts my heart. You can find her HERE in a group of images called Callie's Busy Day. Three images for $4.00!!! You can't beat that with a stick. 

Stop on by the Challenge Blog and check out the beautiful cards made by my DT mates. They sure are a wonderfully talented group of ladies. I am so honored to be in their company. 

Happy Crafting Y'all!!

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #163 - Monochromatic

Hello and Happy Tuesday Blog Land! 

It's time to put your craftiness to the test in the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge. Our VERY Sassy Ms. Dawn from Dawn a New Day is leading the way this week with a Monochromatic theme. I am a little out of my element on this one so be sure to check out all the other Sassy Girl's creations on the challenge page for some more inspiration. The only thing I knew going into this challenge was that I just HAD to use my new "Honeycomb" embossing folder. My friend Mel is a Stampin' Up Demonstrator and she left me a little package on my porch last week and I have been dying to use it. What do ya think Mel? 

Any who...this is the end result of my latest crafty expense. 

Thanks to you all who joined us in last week's sketch challenge. What a fabulous group of entries. We sure hope to see you again this week. Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the Internet and as always...

Happy Crafting Y'all!!

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #162 - A Sketch

Happy Tuesday Blog Land! 

I hope all of you here in The States got your tax documents mailed on time last night. I have to admit that I was one of those procrastinators...mailed mine out on my lunch hour. I know, shame on me.

I am here to let you know what the theme is for this week's crafty, Sassy Cheryl's Challenge. 

Our Irish cutie, Jackie has provided a sketch for us to follow and I know you are going to love it!

I want to introduce you to one of Sassy Cheryl's newest Cutie Patooties. This is Maddie (for those of you who haven't been to Sassy Cheryl's SHOP) and I just adore all of her fabulous hats. This girl has style!!

Happy Friday!!!

I had a little extra time in my craft room this week and actually got to make 2 cards this week. LOL

Why can't I  hire myself to work in my craft room every day and get paid? 

I just wanted to share a card I made with a Saturated Canary image. 

I just love the eyes on Krista's images. They just suck you in.

This card is kinda simple but I like how it turned out.  

I am entering this in the Saturated Canary Challenge, Pretty Pastels.

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #160 - A Sketch

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday to you! Here we are at the beginning of April already. 

It's time to share another fabulous Sassy Cheryl's Challenge with you. Our resident Prisma coloring perfectionist, Judy has put together an awesome sketch for us. I always enjoy sketches. It takes away the hard decisions and lets you focus on the fun stuff....COLORING!!!

I have had this sweet image in my "Sassy Folder" for a while and decided to color her up since it was Easter on Sunday. She isn't in Cheryl's new store but her sweet friend Sally can be found there with her bunny in an image called "Bunny Gets a Home". Just click HERE. 

Here is Judy's fabulous sketch!!

Hope you hop right into this week's challenge with us.

Happy crafting y'all!!!
