Sounds fun, right?  I chose Cheryl's newest cutie patootie Maddie in this new digi called Ace In the Hole.

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #127 - Just for Him

Good Morning Blogland! Hope you all survived Monday.

Mine prove to be a little crazy most of the time, so hopefully I made it through too. Lol 

Tuesday means it's time for another fun, fabulous challenge over at Sassy Cheryl's. Crafty Jackie is our hostess again this week and she has picked the theme "Just for Him". I had my image for this week picked out for over a month now and ALMOST changed my mind when I saw Cheryl's new Noah's Tire Swing image. (You gotta go check out her new cuties!!!)  As you can see I chose to stick with Momma's Little Clown with an addition of Bella's Flower. The Ticket Booth is a digital image from Make It Crafty. I can't wait to see what you all come up with this week. Have fun and happy crafting y'all!

I had fun making this little scene for another one of my "LITTLE MONSTERS" for their B-day. I always mention them but I have never shown you a picture of them. It just so happens that I FINALLY have a picture of them all together, so I thought I would share it with you. 

Alex, Brady, Colby, Austin & Ethan

Can you believe all my friends had stinky boys!?!?  They are mean and stinky but they are sweet as sugar sometimes too, and that TOTALLY makes up for it. I love you crazy boys!!!

Accessories: Copic Markers, standard hole punch, Diamond Stickles

I'm here to share another card I made using one of Mabelle's adorable images from Whimsy and Stars. This cutie is called Balloon Girl and you can find her HERE. I know I always seem to need Birthday cards and this image comes in soooo handy. I colored her with my Copics and went back and high lighted and shaded with my Prisma pencils. I am trying to use my pencils more so they don't feel so neglected and so I can get better at using them. Practice, practice, practice. Lol (At least that's what I tell the Hubby)

I bought a Derwent battery powered sharpener the other day and I love the way it sharpens my pencils. The tip is sharp but it doesn't eat up a lot of the pencil leaving the inside exposed and weak. I highly recommend it. It was $20.00 but I used my 50% off coupon so that helped a bit.

Only 2 more days left to get in on my Blog Candy!!!

Good Luck and Happy Crafting!
