Aud Sentiments Challenge #24

Good morning friends.  Man, the weather in my area was just wonderful yesterday and is supposed to be again today.  That really puts a smile on my face!!  Something else that puts a smile on my face is a new Aud Sentiments Challenge.  (OK... that was just too corny, wasn't it?? haha!)  The challenge theme this week is 'Get Well cards'.  What a great idea as I never have one when I need one!!  You too?


This image is called 'Little Honey's Nurse' and is from Sassy Studios, our sponsor for this challenge.  They kindly shared some images with the DT and I chose this one.  She was very fun to color... and fast!!  I think I made this card in record time!!  As always with my pinks, they are quite yucky in the photo.  Please imagine the bow and pearls and a perky, pearly pink, 'K?

I colored my nurse up in Breast Cancer awareness colors.  I have a few girlfriends that have suffered from this awful disease and know what a tough road that is to travel.  Luckily, all I've known have survived and are doing well.  Let's all pray that more and more women enjoy that outcome and that it continues for my friends.


Challenges:
Sunday Sketch & Stamp - the SKETCH
Alphabet Challenge - S is for stripes
Krafty Kimmie Stamps - anything goes
Sweet Stampin Challenge - your favorite move -- one flew over the cuckoo's nest
Cutie Sunday - your favorite color combo -- mine is pink with just about anything!!
Aly's Sunday Challenge - anything goes
Going Grey - anything goes
ABC Challenge - Q is for quote -- use a quote or sentiment
DYSU Challenge - add a bow
Bling it On  - anything goes

I've got to keep this short this morning so I'll say my thank yous... thank you for coming by dear friends.  I hope to see you soon and I have more fun to share soon.  Have a great day!!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #102

Good morning friends and family!!  Happy Sunday to you all.  Sunday... Cupcake Inspirations Challenge... they just go together.  This week we have another wonderful photo inspiration that I think you'll really love.  But first... my take on this week's challenge...


 Do you love those little ants or what???  But let's get to our inspiration for this week first...




Oh yum!!  AND beautiful too!!  This is one of my favorite color combos, at least when it's nice and soft and sweet  like these cupcakes.  Hearts, roses and clover... what a great combination!!


Our sponsor this week is Doodle Pantry.  They kindly shared some images with the DT so we could play a bit.  This image and sentiment are from a set called Clover Patch Ants.  They have several great ants images/sets as well as lots of other adorable images.  And they are sooooo reasonably priced!  I think you'll have a great time if you go browse around their store a while.  They are offering a $10 prize to one lucky random winner this week.

Other challenges:
Get Sketchy - the SKETCH
Craft Your Passion  - anything goes
Cupcake Craft Challenge - pink polka dots
Cute Monday - use the color pink
The Shabby Tea Room - luck o' the Irish

Thank you for dropping in today my friends.  Have a wonderful day and a great week.  Hope to see you again soon!!

I finally made the Teddy Bo Challenge!!

WOW!!  My second post today!!  I almost never do that!!  : )  If you're looking for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge, see the previous post or click  here.

YAY!!!!  I've made a couple other Teddy Bo cards and missed the challenge deadline on each.  But... today, I'm ahead of the deadline... by 3+ hours!!!  Heeheeheehee!! 


This image is called 'sitting waiting for you'.  So sweet, isn't she???  And really, really fun to color up.  The Teddy Bo Challenge this week was to use brown and duck egg blue.  I don't really know what duck egg blue looks like, but I hope this is close!  I actually did google it and I think it's pretty good, but there were lots of duck egg blue blues.


 Since I don't have any chair or bench or other 'sit on' things, I had to sit Bea on the ribbon.  I guess that works.  Oh... I finally got the 'hanging image' with nesties to work right.  Ya know, it's the little successes that make me happy!!  How 'bout you??



Challenges:
The Teddy Bo Challenge - brown and duck egg blue
KB Cute Monday  - anything goes using a digi
Paper Playtime - digi Monday anything goes
Your Next Stamp Challenge - blue
