Hot Fun in the Summertime!

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's Challenge #123 - Summer Fun

This weeks Sassy Cheryl's Challenge is all about Summer Fun!!! Our creative and crafty Cathy has chosen a perfect theme for us and I'm sure she has created something special. Me? I chose to POKE fun at Summer. It has been soooooooo flippin' hot here is South Carolina!! We had temps in the 100's all last week and the heat index and the humidity have just made it unbearable. I chose Mischievous Charlie because this is how my hair looks when it is humid (SUPER DUPER curly) and because this is the attitude I get because of it.  HeeHeeHee! It's best not to fight against Mother Nature sometimes. 

There were sooooo many cute entries in last week's Anything Goes challenge.

 Sure hope to see you again this week. Happy crafting y'all!!

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #121 - Summer Time

Happy Tuesday morning Blog Land!! We are ONE day closer to Friday. I am super excited because I have Saturday AND Sunday off this weekend. Some of you may know that I was laid off at the beginning of May because the place I worked closed. It took me a couple weeks to find a new job, but I was so very lucky to find something so soon. Let me just say that unemployment is THE PITS!! Anywho...my new job requires quite a bit more hours than my last. That means quite a few less hours of crafting time. **sniff...sniff**

But this weekend I will have crafting time. WooHoo!!

It's time for the Sassettes to bring you another fabulous Sassy Cheryl's challenge. This week our crafty, llama loving, sweetie Dawn is our hostess with the mostest and she has us bringing in SUMMER TIME!!! And I must say...It's about time!!! I have only made it to the beach a couple times so far (which is really sad because I only live 12 miles away from it). Hopefully there will be more beach days in the weekends to come. Then I can be like this cutie pie, Sassy Sally in her Inner Tube. How stinkin' cute is she?!? 

Grab your favorite Sassy Cheryl image that reminds you of Summer time and join in on the challenge this week. You don't have to use a Sassy Cheryl's image, but if you do your card will be entered twice in the drawing. Gook luck and Happy Crafting Y'all!!

I made another circle sentiment and I am happy to share it with you. Just right click on the image and save it to your computer. Just tell everyone where you found it. ENJOY!!

Fancy Folds!!

That's the theme our amazing crafty hostess, Joyce chose for this months Just Inklined blog hop. 

You should have hopped here from her blog. If not, hop on over and see what she has created for us. I am sure you don't want to miss it.

I chose to make a Double Dutch Fold card. I haven't made one in a long time.

There is a fabulous & easy tutorial by Patty Bombyk HERE in the Splitcoast Stampers resource section. 

I tweaked the measurements on mine because I wanted my card to be a little bigger, but it is basically the same. I chose a new Just Inklined image called "Serenity". Isn't it beautiful? It looks like one of my favorite Summer time spots. Can't you just see yourself sitting there? What would be in your pitcher?? Lol

Here is a pic with the bottom gate fold part open. The top fold is still closed.

Next you are going to be hopping over to our super talented boss lady Jak's blog. She is sure to have some fabulous eye candy for you. She never disappoints.
