You're The Coolest!

Just wanted to stop in and share this little card I made. He is a Sassy Cheryl cutie pie called

"Penguin  Panache". I just couldn't pass him up. I have always loved her snowmen but this little guy is too stinkin cute and skated right onto this card.

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #159 - Favorite Color Combo

Happy Tuesday Blogland friends!! 

It's time for another crafty challenge at Sassy Cheryl's. Our Sassy Sistah Cathy, over at Ink It Up and Stamp it Out with Cathy Edgar is our hostess with the mostest. She want's us to use our favorite color combo!!

I have so many favorite color combinations and I really think it depends on my mood. When I was looking through my stash of papers blue and green were jumping out at me. I wonder what mood that means I was in? Does anyone know? If you do, I would love for you to tell me. Lol

So, I had colors in mind and moved on to my image. This image of Sally called Lazy Afternoon was just begging me to pick her. So I obliged. The papers just seemed to fall into place after that. 

I hope this card brings you all a little bit of Summer on this extended Winter of cold. 

Stupid Groundhog!! (is he ever right???)

Please come join in the fun this week and check out what the other Sassy Gals have created. 

We love seeing all your wonderful creations. 

Happy Crafting Y'all!!

Sassy Cheryl'sChellenge #157 - Green and White

Happy Tuesday all you Sassy Cheryl Fans!! It's time for our weekly challenge. This week our Irish Lass Jackie, over at Jackie's Space, has chosen the theme Green and White, imagine that! 

Perfect for all those St. Patrick's Day cards. 

Have you been over to Cheryl's new store? She has a new one to go along with all those new cuties she has been drawing. You can check it out HERE. I chose one of her new Maddie images, Beauty in the Making. 

I just love her hats!!! and I know you will too. Isn't she darling?

I hate that I missed last week's challenge. We were all feeling a little under the weather at my house last week. I'm happy to say we are all feeling better. I think it may have had something to do with the weather. It has been gorgeous here. I can see Spring...it's right around the corner. WooHoo!!

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #132 - A Sketch

This week's challenge theme at Sassy Cheryl's is a fabulous sketch made by our crafty DT member, Dawn. 

I just love following a sketch and I don't know why I don't do it more often. I chose to use Avery Celebrates with Cake for my image this week. It was my Niece Samantha's 9th Birthday yesterday and this is the card I made for her. She is such a sweetie just like little Avery.  I have used this image before and realized after I was finished that I just can't help using my crimper on kraft paper with with it. Lol

Dawn has made it really fun and easy to play along this week. We sure hope to see more of your beautiful creations this week. Thanks to all you crafty people who joined us in last weeks Got the Blues? challenge.

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #75 - Not your usual fold

It is my turn to host the Sassy Cheryl Challenge this week and I want to see some different folds on your cards. I have been seeing some pretty neat folds out there in blog land and I wanted to get out of my square rut. Hey...it's comfortable for me. (Lol)

I just adore Cheryl's new school kids images. This one is called "First Day of School". I know I have said this before but these girls with the bob hair cut remind me so much of my Savannah when she was little. Now she will be starting college at the end of August!! ** sigh **

I chose a side step card for my fold. I like the way they display so pretty. I like to leave out the cards I receive so I can enjoy them. You will usually find them on my shelves, kitchen island, craft table, or any flat surface. (Lol) Feel free to send as many as you like.

I hope you can come join us in the challenge this week. Look forward to seeing your interesting folds...inspire us. Happy Crafting!!

We are welcoming a new member to the Sassy Cheryl's Design Team. Pat Frank of Cards2Cherish is joining us this week so go check out her blog HERE. She is super talented and we are so happy to have her on the team. Welcome Pat!!

You're the Apple of my Eye..

It's the first Monday of the month and that means it's time for another fabulous blog hop over at Just Inklined!! This month's theme is "Check it Out". The hop starts HERE at Karen's blog, KJ's Summer Wine Corner. I'm sure the DT has plenty of beautiful cards to share. Please hop on over and check them out.

I missed the hop this morning because Mother Nature and I had a terrible disagreement yesterday!! She decided it was high time the Tidwell family had a day of NO electronics. We had a lightning storm in the morning and a tree about 20 feet from my house got struck. Our TV, computer, DVD player and Wii all got zapped. Luckily, no one was hurt and the house is fine. Just loud, scary and rather annoying. I took a pic to share with you. The lightning started at the top of the tree and went all the way to the ground. The bark was blown all over the place. I hope this old southern oak doesn't die. I love this tree.

Just realised the irony of my card and this poor tree. Creepy huh?

Please note my neighbor's car in the back ground with the window down...DUH!!!

Say no to Crack...

and yes to cake!!!

I have my Father and my Father In Law both celebrating a Birthday! My Daddy's Birthday was yesterday but I can't show you his card yet. He checks my blog and I don't want him to see it before we have his party. My Sister and her family are coming in from Colorado and we are waiting until she gets here to celebrate. You can see that card next week.

This week I am showing you the card I made for my Father In Law. We all lovingly call him "Pop". He is always fixing things and cant stand to be doing "nothing". When I saw this digi from Just Inklined I knew it was perfect for him. I have never seen him in this predicament but my hubby swears he has. Lol!

Happy Birthday Pop, we love you!!!

Santas Making Snow Angels!

I made this card Sassy Cheryl's "Color me Please..." challenge.

This image is called "Jumping Jack Santa" but my Family and I thought he was making snow angels so we changed it up a bit. I'm a traditional kinda gal so I kept with Santa's traditional colors, but I did give him a little sparkle. Hope you all come play along for a chance to win a free Sassy Cheryl image!

The Witching Hour

I made this card for Split Coast's 300th sketch challenge! I used some scraps from my scrap box so I am not sure who the designers are. I do know that this adorable digi image is one of Sassy Cheryl's newest Halloween images. It is called "Witches spell school". The challenge is going on until Tuesday so check it out HERE.

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #24 - Black, white & pink...with embellishments (of course)


Here I am again at the last minute this week...shame on me!
Cathy was our hostess again this week and she wanted us to use a color combo (pink, white & black). What a fun challenge!! I love these colors! This cutie of an image is from Sassy Cheryl's of course. She is called "Getting Stuck". She is by far my favorite right now and I just had to use her. The paper is from "The Paper Studio". I just realized that my sparkly snowflake looks a awful shade of gold in this pic. Ewww! It is really diamond stickles and is a pretty shiny, silvery color. But in the essence of time the picture has to stay AS IS. Sorry
I can honestly say that I have never stuck my tongue to a freezing cold lamp post.....but I did get my tongue stuck on the freezer shelf when I was about nine. I know! DUH!!! Gosh, I was just trying to taste it. My brother (6 yrs. older & wiser) had to pour warm water on it to get me un-stuck. Needless to say, I learned my lesson.
