This little Piggy says Thanks-January 30, 2012

Last week, work was extremely busy and very stressful so I did not get as many cards posted. Instead, I got a lot of sleep at night!  However, last night I had a chance to make this adorable card using The Sweet Stop Sketch SSS143.  The inspiration for the card came from the ten pounds of sausages meat my husband and I divided, wrapped and froze on Sunday for 2012.  I found a new digital stamp shop called Doodle Pantry which had this cute image, saying and digital paper (2 squares) called Mud Piggy.  I colored him using copic markers.  I was leery about coloring a pig, but happy about how he turned out!  Thanks for stopping by......

Mix of Challenges - January 25, 2012

Today, I decided to make a card that incorporated several challenges.  The first challenge is Paper Sundaes Challenge #104 - Paper Piercing.  So of course, I used one of my favorite images from MFT Who's That Girl Well Read.  I just love paper piercing the couch and her book.  In real life it actually brings the two parts of the image to life, and she looks to be snuggled up on the couch with a good book which has the title "Be Mine" stamped on it!  The Sketch this week came from The Sweet Stop SSS142- Non Traditional Valentine Card.  I took the sketch and rotated it to fit my image and replaced the ribbon with the tickets "Love Story".  Most girls just love a good romance story about Valentine's Day and this card is great to give a girlfriend because it is not mushy!  The Corrosive Challenge #141 which requires you to have a heart on your image....  Can you find the hearts?????........You guessed it, on the book cover!  Thanks for stopping by!!!!

Plant a Tree - January 20, 2012

My husband has planted four trees in the yard.  Two of the trees are extra special to me.  The first is a Christmas Tree in the front side yard.  He knew I loved Christmas and would enjoy putting lights on the tree outside each year.  The second tree was for our first anniversary.  Since then, I have seen it grow each year just like our relationship.  When I saw this adorable image which I received from a friend, I had to make a card with it.  I wish I knew who actually made this stamp.  Plant a tree, and plant some hope!  Happy Crafting this Weekend!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #129 - January 19, 2012

We have people all around us that deserve a great Thank you card for all the things they do for us.  Today, I used Tuesday Morning Sketches #129 to create this thank you card.  It was fun getting out the embossing gun, something I had not used in awhile.
