SSW2 - MelJen's Designs

Meljen's Design's shop closes tomorrow.

I'm a little sad about that to be honest.  You still have roughly 24 hours to run over and grab your favorite designs. That's why I'm doubly glad that Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2  is being sponsored by Melissa and Meljen Designs. 

Melissa is generously offering our winner 4 free images.

This sketch is perfect whether you have it horizontal OR vertical.  I really hope you get a chance to play this week.

Our sketch is so perfect for Christmas cards, I really DO hope you get a chance to join in.

Hiya peeps.

I'm exhausted and sadly, it is ONLY Wednesday.  Last week we only had a three day work week and so when I woke up, I was a little sad to realize that we still have 2 more days in this week ((whimper)).  Thankfully, there is not much longer for school.  Unfortunately, I signed the kiddos up for Science Camp beginning in June and that starts at 8:00 ... rather like school huh?!!

Since it's Wednesday,  that means it's time for another challenge over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.  When I first saw Sally's sketch I was a bit overwhelmed.  That's a whole 'lotta' something going on on the card, huh?!!  But I DO like how my card turned out so all my whining was for nothing!  I needed a baby card so the inside reads, "Congratulations on your new little monkey." All my phrases are computer generated.  I love how versatile digi-images are!

Melissa from Meljen's Designs is our sponsor.  I love her images.  So cute and sooo many options to choose from.  She's offering 4 uncolored images as the prize this week.

Hope to see you playing this week.

Challenge #187: Black Out

 

This week the people over at the Meljen blog challenged us to use black as our base for a card.  It was definitely out of my comfort zone -- don't know why tho, the card looks fine.  This card is for my buddy.  I know, it's late.  Shocker!

I used Melissa's Penpal Mouse for my image.  She has some wonderfully cute images and don't forget, they are STILL on sale for half off through the end of the month.

One of my friends is sooo pregnant that she looks like she is about to pop at any second.  Just two more weeks for her (hang in there doll!) and I needed to make a card to welcome baby R into town.  This little Meljen image isn't really specifically a baby image but it's so darn cute that it definitely fit the bill.

Tuesday Morning Sketches had a GREAT sketch and I managed to make the card so it satisfied the Twisted Tuesday challenge too (polka dots and pop dots - her little ears are popped.)

I saw this poem and it made me laugh out loud.  It is easily the way I feel about my kids.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I Learned to Swear

by Pam Vap

I learned to swear
twenty minutes before my first child was born.
Since then, it's been a handy habit
to have around, and I expect God
to turn his head. After all,
he owes me one. It's a trick
to make babies look so good.

The truth is they leak.
And of all horrors, they grow.

They only speak whine;
they cry and complain and wipe snot
on their sleeves. They spill dinner.
They stir pasta into their milk cups
and squish spinach between their teeth.
They eat crayons and toothpaste.

They call constantly. They call
constantly. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mo-om.

They inhale money, bang down stairs,
and store dirty socks and sandwich crusts
like hidden treasures in their closets.
They lipstick walls; they swallow marbles.
They break things.

Yet, God (no doubt in his wisdom) has ordained
that these crude creatures
should sleep incognito:
gentle
quiet
warm.

I am fooled easily.

Each night as I tuck covers around them
and bend to kiss their sweet, sleepy faces,
I don't care that they used
all the silverware in the garden.

Let's fill the house with angels,
I whisper to my husband
as I slip between the sheets.

 

Happy Wednesday!!

It's time for another sketch challenge over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  This week we are sponsored by the wonderful Melissa Jenkins from Meljen's Designs.  I'm using her Christmas Buddy this week.  I like how he's gotten himself in a bit of a tangled mess (kinda reminds me of my kitty who tries to sleep INSIDE the tree each year and has actually found herself in this same position!)  This month Melissa has ALL of her digital images on sale for 50% off -- wahooo!!

Our sketch is a rewind from May of 2011.  It's always fun to see what the fabulous DT of THEN did with the sketch. 
We really DO hope that you join in the sketch challenge this week.  Don't forget to comment on the blog so that you are eligible to win the 4 non-colored images available as the prize!

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for another challenge from Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  This week we have a fun sketch from Sally to work with and our sponsor is Melissa from Meljen's Designs.

This week I've used PenPal Mouse.  I did make one small change to little mousie: I flipped the image.  I wanted the pencil to point towards the opening of the card.  Can I just say how much I LOOOOOVE digis?  They are sooo much more versatile than rubbah?!!

My hubby is a spoiled boy.  During HIS weeks (birthday and Father's Day) I usually give him 4-5 cards.  One year I only gave him one for his birthday and he was a bit pouty-face!   I mail them to his work or tuck them in his briefcase or sometimes hide them in his car.  Happy Father's Day sweetie!

So we hope you will join in the fun with us over on the blog.  You do NOT need to use a Meljen's Design image to play but don't forget to comment on the blog so you are eligible for Melissa's generous prize of 4 free digi images.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 183: Meljen's Designs

Happy Wednesday.  It's time for another challenge from Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  This week we have a fantastic sketch to work with and our sponsor is Meljen's Designs. 

I have to apologize for the poor quality of my picture this week.  Half of my house is packed up for our move (the movers come in 2 days to finish packing up my house) and I'm pretty sure that I packed my camera ... in one of the billion boxes that now litter my new house.  This is my phone"s camera ... not good.

I liked this week's sketch so much that I actually created two cards with it.  I'm starting to panic a little.  I have 20 days from today to unpack my house, decorate, send out cards and get a little "Ho Ho Ho" in my life.  I don't have nearly enough cards made to send out.  Yikes.

So join in our sketch fun!  Upload your card to Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  You could win 4 non-colored digi-images of your choice this week!
