Little Boy Blue

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #131- Got The Blues?

Good Tuesday Morning to you all! I hope you are all well rested and ready for the day. I actually had TWO days off this weekend because of the Labor Day weekend here in The States. WooHoo!! I managed to get my card done with a few hours to spare. I had such a fun time working with Noah and Patches.

I chose this week's challenge over at Sassy Cheryl's and it is all about BLUE! I have to confess that I peeked in the folder and saw my Sassy Sister's cards already and you are in for a treat!! Our Sassy boss lady has been on one heck of a creative streak lately and has really given us some amazing images to play with. Hop on over and check them out HERE. 

I made this card for my Nephew Jonathan (aka: Finn). He had knee surgery last week and is doing well but still has a way to go in his recovery. I know it's going to be soooo hard for him not to be "on the go".  He is always so full of energy and is ALL BOY! I love you Finny and hope you have a speedy recovery. Sending you big bear (((( hugs)))). 

Thanks so much to all of you who played in last week's Back 2 School challenge. We sure hope to see you all again this week. Get those BLUES out and get crafty!!!

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #99 - Light blue & brown

Happy Tuesday everyone! It's time for another fun Sassy Cheryl's challenge!

This week I am lucky enough to be the hostess with the mostest. 

I chose the colors Light Brown and Blue as the theme. 

Just in case you noticed.... my FABULOUS new water mark was made for me by my Crafty Sassy Sister Dawn. I just LOVE it!! Don't you think it fits me perfectly??? Thanks so much Dawn (((hugs)))

I chose Cheryl's adorable Noah & Patches for my card because I needed to make a Birthday card for my Nephew Jonathan. He and I share the same Birthday week so I always tease him and say he was my present. (Lol)  I know...I know...he was HIS Mom's present. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FINN! I love you bunches!

I want to remind you that next week will be

Another Accordion Gift Book!!!

I made this little accordion gift book for Teddy Bo's challenge this week, Anything But a Card.

I have made several of these now and each one is just as fun as the one before.

I just adore these beautiful Teddy Bo Bears.

This is the inside where you can put a gift card, candy or small gift. I also made a pocket to leave a personal note.

Happy Birthday Jeff!

My Boy Di-Bo-saur

I am such a sucker when it comes to anything Dinosaur! They remind me of Jackson when he was younger. He loved everything dinosaur. When I saw this cutie over at Teddy Bo & Co I had to have him. I am entering this card in their Sketch challenge. He was such fun to color.

Happy Birthday Chase!

I made this card for my nephew Chase, he turns 17 today!!

(well...actually tomorrow, it's kinda late here)

He is a big goof ball with a good heart and he is also one heck of a baseball player.
I cant believe how much you've grown. It seems like yesterday when you were two and telling me I looked like Cruella DeVille. (clearly the child needed glasses)

We love you Chase, have a great day!!

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #43 - Teddy Bears

It's Tuesday and that means the start of another challenge over at Sassy Cheryl's. Judy is our hostess with the mostest again this week and she has picked Teddy Bears for our challenge. What's not to love about teddy bears!?! I know I have loved a few and I still have a couple that I will probably never get rid of. You can tell them anything! The image I chose is called "Going to See the Star". This is such a beautiful image! Cheryl has a great way of capturing childhood innocence.

Sassy Cheryl's is having a BIG end of the year Christmas sale!!

****30% through Dec. 24th***

We know everyone is busy this time of the year so Cheryl is going to run this challenge for two weeks to make sure you all have time to join in. So, pick out your favorite Sassy Teddy Bear and get back in the craft room! Can't wait to see what you create.
