A Day Without A Friend

Hi Blogland! Tomorrow is Friday and we have reached the end of another work week. Wahoo!!

I'm here to share a card I made with one of Stamping Bella's adorable Stuffies stamps. I saw it and just HAD to have it. It jumped right into my shopping cart! Who doesn't love a mischievous bear?

I was thinking about a wonderful friend of mine while I was coloring this cutie so I will be sending this her way via snail mail.

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 #66 - Gift card, tag or box

This week at Sassy Cheryl's we are in a giving mood. We want you to show us a creation that can be given with a gift. Tags, gift card holders, gift boxes, gift bags, etc. We know you all have an occasion coming up where one is needed so what better way to give than to get a chance at a free digital image too!! So just pick out one of your favorite Sassy Cheryl images and make something for someone they won't soon forget.
I made another accordion book this week. These are so much fun and once you make your first one, you're gonna be hooked!!! HERE is the tutorial I learned from. They are so much fun to make.
