Poor Edwin...

This Edwin, although I love him dearly, always looks so bummed out!  Even the super bright summer colors didn't help his expression!  So I decided to give him something to cry about, so to speak, and let the fish get away.  Hang in there buddy!

For:
Sunday Sketch and Stamp
Crop Stop (banner)
7 Kids (summer!)
Divas by design (summer)
All Sorts (ice cream colors)

Happy Thursday!!!!  Don't forget to check back tomorrow for a new Tilda's Town challenge!!!

New card

As you can see, I'm still having heaps of fun with my Big Shot!  Lol!  I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday for this card.  The butterflies qualify as bugs for SSCC (I hope anyway!  You can find this Tilda there!)

Color wise I decided to raid my neutral stash box!  Who knew I had so much kraft!  Lol!

Happy Sunday!

Make it Monday!

Oooh I'm so excited for this week's Make it Monday challenge because we are sponsored by one of my favorites: Bugaboo! 

I loooooove Bugaboo!

Here is my card...simple and sweet!  I attempted clouds in the background...depending on the angle I either really like them or really don't!  Ha!

And here is my fabulous, fantastic, wonderful pick of the week:  From Gaynor

Isn't he adorable?!?  Love him!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you get a chance to link up with us this week at Make it Monday!

Cupcake Time

It's time for another challenge at Cupcake Inspiration!  This week our sponsor is Di's Digis! I just love her store...even if this particular challenge did go to the dogs...he he he!  Oh wait, that's not funny because I haven't shown you our inspirational photo yet!

Ok, well, even with the photo it's not that funny!  Ha! 

Here is my project using the colors from the photo (I seem to be lacking any kind of dog stamp!):

I do hope you'll get a chance to link up with us this week!  Happy Sunday!

Well, my plan to put the girls to bed at 5:30 p.m. last night so I could play with my new Big Shot didn't go well...lol!  But I still managed to play a little!

Have a Magical Day! (at the beach!)

I have TWO new cards up AGAIN!  Lol!  Can you tell a cold front hit and the girls and I have been "trapped" inside?  (Funny how in the spring, 60 feels like heaven and in the summer it feels like winter!)

The first is a beach scene:

The best part of this card?  That polka dot circle on the inside?  It's a coaster!!!  Bwahahahaha!

Ok, next card...feeling a little magical?

Tilda's Town Challenge #3

It's time for another challenge at Tilda's Town!  These week our theme is to use a Magnolia accessory stamp with Edwin or Tilda (or both!)!  I chose the Swing from the summer 08 collection with Tilda with Flower in Hair from the Hoppy Easter collection but I put roses in her lap instead of eggs!
