Lots of Food ... No dieting Here

I'm banging out my "freebie" image cards.  The first card uses the new From The Heart progressive image.

I colored it up to match the kids and my favorites.  Oldest likes a plain ol' ice-cream sundae (as long as there is coffee ice cream inside somewhere) though he hates cherries and I take one for the team and eat his cherry ... seriously, how can you NOT like maraschino cherries?

I like mint chocolate chip ice cream so that's the middle one.  The youngest likes all sorts of sherbet and bubble gum ice-cream. (Insert shudder of disgust!) Frozen bubble gum is just wrong!

The other card I made features the Gerda Steiner freebie.  It's this darling penguin going on a picnic.  He at least has healthy food choices in HIS basket.

I used the sketch from the Mojo Monday site but altered it by rotating the sketch so it would fit the image better.

SSW2-91: DigiStamp Boutique

Welcome back to another Wednesday challenge over on the Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 blog.  This week we have a fun new sketch and the return of Sally-Ann from DigiStamp Boutique.

I had a great time with Sally's sketch this week.  It was totally easy and it let me use a bunch of the paper scraps I have in my "blue" and "green" DP drawers.  That's always good since closing those drawers are getting to be an issue!  I need to stop buying paper (blue, green and pink DP anyway!)

This time I used the Spring Truffle set for my card. This set is seriously cute.  It comes with not one but TWO super cute images.  Sally-Ann is offering our winner a £10 voucher to her store.

I really DO hope to see you join in the fun.

Squeaking By To Say Howdy

I needed a quick card for a friend and this little cutie fit the bill.  While digging through my "ginormous" pile of images, I found this darling pre-colored mouse.  Score!  Cute AND quick.

He's from the Doodle Pantry "Quirky" series.  His official name is Quirky Mouse.  To see him and other cute and quirky animals, simply visit the Doodle Pantry store.

I'm using the sketch from the Sketch Aunt site.  Fun sketch and so easy to use.

Happy Happy June!!

Yep.

It's June and Summer is officially here!! I say this as I sit in my basement wearing jeans with a fleece over my cute Summery shirt.  There is supposed to be warmth included with Summer, people.   Tho, I suppose if you give me three weeks, I'll probably be whining about the heat!!

Because it's the first of the month, we have another digital challenge over on the Doodle Pantry blog.  As always, it's an anything goes challenge.  Remember, you must use a digital image on your card.  I'm using one of my favorite Doodle Pantry images: Birdie on a Wire.

I really liked the sketch over on the Tuesday Morning Sketches site.  I did make it a square instead of a rectangle ... because I can't resist changing things up.

I'm participating in the following challenges too

Dragonfly Journeys: Polka Party
Try It On A Tuesday: Dots, Spots, and Splashes.

Sketch Saturday: Happy Print Club

Good Morning Friends.

It's Saturday and time for another Sketch over on the Sketch Saturday blog.  We have a fun new sketch and a brand new sponsor: Happy Print Club.  She is giving a membership to her site to our winner.

I'm also entering this into the From the Heart challenge.  Instead of using their sketch, I chose the "twist" and fussy cut part of my image.  I hope it counts!

We hope to see you join in the fun this week.

Stella Says Sketch 409: Hello

I'm supposed to be making a teacher appreciation card but since the child gave me rather specific instructions about its manufacture ... I've kinda hit a snag.

I am allowed to use either a weasel image (of the millions of images I own, can you believe that I don't have a weasel) or I can use a Shakespeare image (again ... don't have one) So I'm wasting time using an image I DO own ... this cute Bugaboo elephant.

I'm using the sketch over on the Catch The Bug site.  It's super cute too.

SSW2-90 Lacy Sunshine

It's Wednesday and that means it's time for another challenge over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.  This week we have the return of Heather from Lacy Sunshine.

I'm using her image: Eleanor Hippie Chick for my card.  I thought that she was perfect with the vintage blue jeans feel that this week's sketch provided.

Our winner will get 3 (three) free digi images from Heather's shop.  We hope that you will play along.
