Aud Sentiments Challenge #26 and BLOG HOP

Happy Thursday stamping friends.  Aud Sentiments is going to have a lot of fun today and we hope you'll join in with us.  It is our 1 year anniversary and we're going to celebrate all during this challenge!!  So... let's get to the challenge, shall we?  We are so pleased to have Sassy Cheryl's as our sponsor this week.  She has utterly adorable images and are such a pleasure to color up.

The theme for this challenge is... ANYTHING GOES.  Isn't that everyone's favorite???  I know it's mine!  Here's what I came up with...

This is Sassy Cheryl's wonderful image called 'Nature Boy'.  Doesn't he look so proud of his new little buddies?  That smile of his just makes me smile and that's one of the greatest things going.  I used a fun new item on this card that I'd picked up on my last visit to Archiver's.  They're called bubble caps.  I wasn't sure what they were when I bought them, but thought I'd try them out.  The back of the package shows that you'd need a tool to press the bubble caps to a cap.  Well, I just did it by hand using DP instead of a cap and it worked fine.

Stamps:  Sassy Chery's Nature Boy digi, TLC Creations sentiment digi
Paper:  MME fine and dandy, Gina K. pure luxury
Ink:  none
Supplies:  Nesties, MS border punch, bubble caps
Techniques:  Copic markers and prismacolor pencils w/ OMS

NOW... onto more fun!!  It's a Birthday Celebration and a BLOG HOP!!

Yep, I'm bringing up the rear.  Well... someone's got to do it!!  haha!  For my sponsor, I selected Meljens Designs.  Here's a little something about them...

Meljens Designs is a lovely stamp company owned and illustrated by Melissa Jenkins.  She illustrates whimsical images inspired by her kids and family.  The Meljens Designs blog has new releases along with a new challenge every Thursday, freebies every Monday and a Guest Designer each month.  Please visit their line of stamps at Whimsy Stamps. 

Each DT member got to select an image from their sponsor to use for this hop.  It was very hard to select just one, but I decided to go with 'Gruffy Little Gnome'.  I just love him and he's sooooo fun to color!!  Here he is...

Fun, right??  Now don't forget... you must leave a comment on my blog to have a chance to win some Meljen's prizes.  They are giving away 4 images of your choice.  AWESOME!!  And leave a comment on each of the other blogs so you'll have a chance to win their sponsor's prizes.

One last item to mention.  Aud Sentiments is now opening a DT call.  Please head over to the challenge blog to see how to enter.  The DT call also runs through the duration of our challenge... until April 26.
