Delivery Boy Santa

I thought I should mix things up a little for a change. I'm always making square cards because they are so easy and I am lazy. The ornament shape that I used to make this card came from Lettering Delights Peppermint Holiday Expressions. The digi stamp is Delivery Boy Santa from Sassy Cheryl's. The stamp was colored with Promarkers and I shall be adding the stickles to his outfit that I see I have forgotten! The Ho Ho Ho stickers are from Jo-ann's and the snowflakes are from Cricut snowflake cartridge. The DP is DCWV and is polka dotted to fit in with the them for challenge #26 Polka Dots at Sassy Cheryl's challenge blog.

Thanks for stopping by.

Love's Healing Hands

Here's a super sweet image by Sassy Cheryl called Love's Healing Hands. This comes in both a boy and girl version and both are equally adorable. Challenge 24 at Sassy Cheryl's this week is a color combo of Black, White and Pink with embellishments. I've colored my image with Promarkers and left the bear to be white. The flourish is by Penny Duncan Creations and has been stickled and pearled. MS heart border punch, roses from Crafta.com, and the sentiment is computer generated and framed with an oval bookplate(on clearance for .50/6 at Joann's! go get some), heart shaped brads to hold it down. Ribbon is Offray and the DP is Recollections.

This card also fits the requirements of challenge #29 Bear & Me at Just Cute Bears so I shall enter it there as well.

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #22

As soon as I saw this image I knew I had to have it. I think it is just so sweet and appealing. I actually got this Sassy Cheryl digi image from Squigglefly. I think there are several on that site that may not be at the regular Sassy Cheryl's, but don't quote me on that!

The challenge this week was to make a "Thinking About You" type of card. I've been wanting to use this image, and she and the bunnies certainly look like they're thinkin' and talkin' about something, so it might as well be you!
This was a challenge for me in a second way as I decided to give zigzag stitching on a card a try. I've been seeing it pop up a lot lately, and looks fab when other people do it. I've got some more practicing to do lol!

The papers that I have used are actually some old Target $1 bin 5x7 sheets from last year. The sentiment is computer generated and the image is colored with Promarkers.

And, since my card is pretty flat, I decided to scan it in rather than take a photo. I think this has worked nicely since it looks brighter. No matter where I try to take a picture in my house, the pictures come out too dark. :(

Thanks for looking!

Sassy Cheryl #21 Cut it Out

The title of this challenge keeps reminding me of the Joey character from Full House. Cut it out was one of his catch phrases, along with some scissors hand movements to go along with it.

Anyway, my card for Sassy Cheryl's Cut it Out challenge features two Sassy Cheryl digi stamps. The one on the front was a 'before' freebie awhile ago, and the one on the inside is the matching 'after' digi. I've had it in my mind for awhile to associate age with the bubble popping, I think it's kind of funny.


The flowers on the front are, believe or not, from the Dollar Tree. I purchased them sometime last year and have just been hoarding them, thinking they are too pretty to use. Well, I can't take them with me, so I might as well use them! They came in lots of flower varieties like hydrangea, sunflower, pansies, lilies and a couple more.

I've made this card the standard size that OWH likes as I'll be sending it to them for their card drive.
The papers are the same Chloe's Closet that I used in my previous post as I'm trying to do better on using scraps.

ETA 7/27/2010 This card won the challenge! Yay!

Sassy Cheryl #20 Christmas in July

Today I have a cute snowman by Sassy Cheryl serving up some probably much needed refreshment during the Christmas season.

He was colored with Promarkers and backed by papers from the DCWV 2008 Christmas stack.
This card will be entered into challenge #20 at Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog.
