Hi!
Hi everyone! Today’s challenge over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog is a sketch challenge. Yahhhhhhh I love sketches and it is my turn to host the challenges for November so of course we had to have a sketch challenge hehe! My card today uses “Madelynn” from The Greeting Farm … I thought that she looked a little like she might be waving so decided to pair her with this sentiment from Penny Black.

 Seeing Stars!
It is Elzybells challenge time over on the Elzybells Art Stamps blog. This week the challenge was “Seeing Stars” …. we had to use a star (or stars) somewhere on your project. I used “Decorating Teddy” to create my card for this challenge, for the simple reason that Teddy was holding a star … I figured that was a good start! I recently purchased the Star Nestabilities so of course I wanted to use that as well. So I stamped the teddy directly onto the star and also stamped it a second time so I could cut it out and paper tole it over the other one. And finally I used the new star cuttlebug embossing folder on the green panel of my card.

 Takeout Tonight!
Well I won’t really be having take out tonight, but it is the next best thing as it is my DD’s turn to cook hehe …. yahhhhh. Of course it is Wednesday which means it is time for another Pretties Wednesday Challenge & Blog Hop. If you didn't hop onto my blog via Christi Thorsen's blog then you might want to hop back over to the very start of the blog hop which is at Christie Ortman's blog. This week it is Heather Lee-Reppen’s turn to issue the challenge. She has challenged us to a color challenge with a twist. We had to use the colors Black, Red & White and the twist was to add glitter to our project. I love this color combo, it has to be up there in my fav combo’s (of course I do have more then one favorite color combo LOL … how could you not *wink*) Anyway I had just purchased this oriental themed designer papers the other week and as they worked with this color combo it wasn’t hard to decide which set I would be using this week …. Paper Pretties Flirty Fortunes set! I carefully stamped the takeout box onto my designer paper so that the red symbol was on the front of my box and paper pieced this onto my box that I had on the white circle. I found this fun sketch while browsing my Google Reader recently from the Just Us Girls (JUGS) blog and decided to use it for the layout of this card. Ok so where is the glitter …. don’t worry it is there LOL … I added it to the stripes on the chopsticks! Want to play along with us

 Birthday Girl!
Hi everyone! My card today is for this week’s CPS Sketch challenge which is sponsored by MFT Stamps. I am just loving this new “Pure Innocence” range which MFT Stamps are now selling that I just had to play with another one of these sets. This one is My Balloon, I paper pieced the little girls dress using the same designer paper that I used for the background. I used the zigzag border punch to create the zigzag stripe as show in the sketch.
Here is the sketch if you would like to play along. Don’t forget to go to the CPS site and add the link to your card so everyone else can see what you created.
