Stampin' In Alaska

This week Sassy Dawn asked us to use the inspiration photo above and a bit of pink. Below is what I came up with using Cheryl's "Sneaky Birthday Bear" image. Sorry, the photo makes the card base look reddish, but it's really a deep pink (SU Melon Mambo) with a layer of Crushed Curry. The sentiment came in a birthday greeting word art set from TLC . By sheer luck, I managed to layer them together in Microsoft Word. I made myself notes, but I'll probably never be able to do it again!! Thanks for stopping by to take a look! This is also for this month's Hope You Can Cling To Challenge over on Splitcoast Stampers. All of the cards we make this month are being sent to the MD Anderson cancer center in Houston, Texas for patients and their visitors.

It's another week of sharing with all of the gals over on the Sassy Cheryl Blog! It's fun AND it's easy to play along. Check out the details HERE and you might win a free Sassy Cheryl digital image. This is my messy desk tonight! I have several challenges that I am trying to get caught up on tonight. Of course, you can see that I've begun coloring my image for this week's Sassy Cheryl challenge. Hope you all are having a productive and creative week! Thanks for stopping by!

This is my submission for this week's Mo's Digital Challenge for a Celebration. I've used Mo's "Bethy's Wagon" image for my wedding card.

Welcome to my workspace this week! Each week, Cheryl asks us to share what project we're working on OR just what's going on. It's fun to see what other folks are up to. If you have time why don't you join in on the fun? You can find all of the details HERE. I have been working on a card drive for the past two weeks which is being sponsored by Splitcoast Stampers. The Hope You Can Cling To card drive is in conjunction with Breast Cancer awareness month and the MD Anderson cancer center is the recipient of all of the cards this month. They are being made available to breast cancer patients and visitors. So, the stack of cards you see on my desk has been packaged and will be my second mailing to MD Anderson. Whew!! It's for a great cause and I'm really enjoying the creative push that it's given me! Of course, you can also see that I treated myself to a little shopping spree over on the Sassy Cheryl digi website. I bought a couple of the new "Sal...

This week's Sassy Cheryl challenge is Think Pink with a Die Cut. I recently purchased this sweet digital image by Cheryl called "Share The Love". I think this little girl is so sweet hugging her teddy bear! I pulled out the October Afternoon "Ducks in a Row" paper stack to coordinate with my pink image. I decided to add the Stampin' Up! sentiment from "Warm Regards" since she seems to be deep in thought. I have used a couple of Spellbinder dies, some ribbon and machine stitching to complete this sweet card. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look! I so enjoy reading your comments!

I thought I would share what's on my desk with you all this week. I'm trying to get back into the creative swing of things after my short vacation. The completed card is for a StampTV challenge this week to use Fall colored leaves. I have started a couple of other challenge cards including Sassy Cheryl's (Pink & a die) and My Favorite Things. I also splurged recently on a trip to my LSS and bought some of the Tim Holtz distress inks. I've been seeing so many beautifully colored images with the distress inks lately. I decided to take the plunge and give it a try! (More to come on that project!) That's about it for me today! Hope you get a chance to play along with all of us nosy ladies on the Sassy Cheryl blog.

It's time again to share what's going on with the Sassy Cheryl ladies! I haven't had a chance to be creative this week as I'm visiting family. I thought I'd share a couple of photos from our visit. I got to go with my Mom & Dad on a fishing trip and caught a 12 inch crappie. Woo-Hoo! It was fun and the weather was beautiful! I've also gotten a chance to spend lots of time with my niece. She's 16 months old (going on 20). She just started walking and is a real talker! We've had lots of fun with her ... she parrots everything that we say. (Mom & Dad will have to be careful with that!) Thanks for stopping by! I hope you get a chance to do something creative this week!
