#Tiddlyspiration

Hello! Long time...no post. Hopefully this wont be the case anymore. I have gotten my "Happy Place" relocated and I am in craft heaven! Maybe I will post some pics soon.

Anywhoo...I was searching my old blog land stomping grounds to get the juices flowing and came across one of my favorite blogs; the Tiddly Inks challenge blog. They had just what I was looking for, some #Tiddlyspiration! I just love Wren!

I made this card for my Great Niece, Bella. She is a cute little "ginger" with the spunk to match her head of hair. (just like her mama)

Clowning Around for Cindy's Birthday

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #133 - To Die For

Good Morning Blogland! We survived another Monday and have made it to Tuesday. 

That means it's time for another fun challenge over at Sassy Cheryl's and it's "To Die For"!! (Lol) 

This week's challenge theme was the clever idea of our crafty & Sassy DT member Dawn. She wants to see some die cuts on all those beautiful entries. There are so many die cuts out there and I can't wait to see which ones you guys choose.  

I chose a couple die cuts by Tim Holtz for my card this week. I paired them with Sassy Sally Clowns Around. Isn't she adorable?!?! I knew I just had to have her when I saw her. Cheryl also has another clown called Momma's Little Clown. He is just as sweet as Sally. 

Thanks so much for joining us in last week's sketch challenge. All the entries were beautiful. 

I made this card for my Best Friend of 17 years. Her name is Cindy (a.k.a. Cindy Lou) and her Birthday was Monday. So, everyone join me in wishing Cindy a HaPpY BiRtHdAy!!

Twiggy Snowman

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #95 - Snowman with a die cut
First of all, I want to apologize for this "WONKY" post. I can't get blogger to cooperate with me today. I can't center, change font size, spell check or link to anything!!! All I can do is type and hope it gets in here somewhere.
That being said...time to move on to this weeks Sassy Cheryl's challenge hosted by Judy once again!! She has a thing for Cheryl's Snowmen and she is asking us to create something with a snowman and at least one die cut. I originally had two die cuts picked out for my card and in the process of "my process" I wound up taking one off. I just never know how it will turn out. I started with a whole other card in mind and really have no clue how I got here. Lol
I chose Cheryl's "Twiggy the Snowman" this week. I just loooove him! Isn't he a cutie patootie? I jazzed him up a bit with some "Red Devil" Stickles. I colored him with my Prisma pencils....GASP!!! I know, I know, I am neglecting my Copics. I just didn't have the color green i wanted so I went to the tin cup. (if you have seen one of my "Show Me Thursday" posts you would understand, that's what I keep my Prismas in)
I sure hope you can come join us in this week's challenge. I know that it's Christmas but Cheryl has decided to extend the challenge for TWO WEEKS!!! Now you will have twice as long to play along. YIPEE! I hope you all have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! God Bless

Not a creature was stirring...

It's the first Monday of the month, so you know what that means...

Time for another FABULOUS Blog hop at Just Inklined!!

I get to be the hostess this month and I have chosen the theme Blue Christmas!

I picked this cute little Door Mouse to use for my card. I can picture this sleepy little fellow trying very hard to wait up on Santa. That brought to mind this sentence from the book

"Twas the Night Before Christmas"...

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Notice how the mouse is NOT stirring... (lol)

The order for the hop this week is:

Jeni (you are here)
Jak
Tammy
Toni
Karen
Cathy
Heidy
Joyce

From here you should be scurrying on over to our super talented boss Jak's blog.

I hope you enjoy the hop, I'm sure the other girls have some beautiful creations for you.

Don't forget to stop and make a comment on each stop, you never know who holds the prize.

We like to keep you on your toes.

Silver Lining

Some of you who have visited my blog know that my Hubby bought a 1976 Airstream Tradewind a few months ago. He is in the process of renovating it and is CONSUMED! We have officially named it "The Silver Lining" but I refer to it as "The Other Woman". Lol

When I saw this image from Saturated Canary, I just HAD to have it. Good timing too...

Today is our 19th Wedding Anniversary! Perfect for his card this year.

Happy Anniversary Honey!

Krista is having a Anything Goes challenge so I decided to enter this one.

Little Pink Houses for You and Me

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #85 - Pink (with a die cut)

This week at Sassy Cheryl's we are still going all out with PINK for breast cancer awareness month. In addition this week, we want you to use a die cut.

I just Loooove Cheryl's bird houses!!! As I was wandering around Hobby Lobby with my friend Linda I found this adorable little die cut sign and birdie embossing folder. I was inspired!!! I was picturing this Country Birdhouse digi and singing "Little Pink Houses" by John Mellencamp . I think he has dropped the "Cougar", since he put out this song, but that's what I still call him. I am a child of the 80's!!! *sigh* Thought I would share the video with you......

Remember, you no longer have to use a Sassy Cheryl's image to play along. BUT...if you do, you will have twice the chance to win that Sassy Cheryl's gift certificate!! So, come play along. Just remember to "Think Pink".
