I'm stopping in with a quick post using a new Sassy Cheryl digital image called " Warm Winter ". I was the lucky winner of the Sassy Cheryl Show Me Challenge a few weeks ago and this was the free image that I chose. I couldn't wait to ink her up! This week's challenge over on the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog is "Winter/Cold Weather".  I colored this cutie with Copic Markers then fussy cut the image to layer on the doily with dimension foam. The little coffee cup charm was tucked away in my stash and coordinated perfectly. The sentiment is from Unity Stamps and came as a freebie gift with a recent order. The sketch is provided by this week's Simon Says Wednesday Challenge .   I'm also sharing this card with the ladies over on the Sassy Cheryl Show Me Challenge blog . Thanks for stopping by for a closer look!

It's been a super busy week, but I  just had to create a card for this week's Sassy Cheryl Challenge . I am still very busy finishing up  Thanksgiving cards for friends and family. So, I've used my Favorite Thanksgiving colors with this sweet Sassy Sally image called " Autumn Swing ". The image was colored with Copic Markers and Flower Soft was added to the grass. I remembered having a twig in my  stash with some birch bark that I picked up a few years ago. I decided it would be perfect  for Sally's swing to hang from!
