Dropping by

Cutie Pie is suppose to be on a cloud, instead she's on a big fluffy pillow.  You know the kind of pillow with the super soft fleece.  Ah, I can use one right about now, both a pillow and blanket.
I wonder if the butterfly on her toes tickle her?  I can never get a pedicure, too ticklish.  {Random!}  I know sorry, but it's late.  I gotta go hit the hay!  {LOL}

Thanks for stopping by today!

Crazy Hair!

I don't know about you, but sometimes I like to go all crazy with my images. 
Fun prints, bold colors, and crazy colored hair. 
Designed To Color gave a challenge to us on facebook this past week to share cards
using images with 'different' colored hair. 
I had so much fun creating for it. It really brought out that fun, funky side of me
that I had been missing. That mojo just has been sucked away from me with all of the 
things going on lately (God is in control, but I still was not feeling what I was creating, ya know?)

ANYWAY ~ I did get to create some FUN and FUNKY cards  and am going to share them with you now. 
If you stopped by my blog yesterday you saw this one already ;)

Hot Stuff sentiment from the She loves Lattes stamp set
{You can read more about this and see more pics on my 
blog post >>HERE<<} 


Next up is the sweet and Fun card using
 {I know it was in my head, but I could literally smell grape
flavored candy the whole time I colored this ;) }


Thank you for stopping by today. 
I hope everyone has a very happy and blessed weekend.

Shoop Shoop ♫

If you wanna know if she loves you so, it's in her kiss cupcake! ♫Shoop shoop!♫
That strawberry cupcake topped with some serious chocolate frosting should be proof enough!   Who remembers The Shoop Shoop song?  LOL Yeah, I'm listening to Pandora again.  I love it!  I tried going without it today, no can do, I need music.

Here's my card: 
Skinny Minnie's face is adorable!! She was released this past weekend and comes with four sentiments....just checked there's only one stamp available!!  ♫Shoop shoop!♫  Who is going to buy it!?  Just between us, I hope the cupcake goes directly to Minnie's hips.
Thanks for stopping by today! Yolie {♥}

It's Tuesday

Yes, it's Tuesday, and on Tuesdays I post to the Fresh Brewed Blog. The boys were off school yesterday for President's Day so in my mind, today is Monday. Imagine my surprise when the calendar told me otherwise!! Well our three day blog is over (wasn't it's great?!!!), but I still wanted to share another card using the newly released rubber stamp Skinny Minnie. I even used one of the four sentiments included in the set. Keeping it simple, embellishing only with some zig zag stitching. If you want more details on my card, visit me at my blog, The Stamper's Touch. Meanwhile, have a wonderful TUESDAY!!!

Hot Stuff

Can I just say, I am REALLY tired of the cold and snow!! Last night went out shoveling AGAIN...I laid down on the couch to warm up and promptly fell asleep. Hence the reason my card and post didn't get done until now!!! And I want what she's having, something hot...like a hot tub, next to the pool, at the beach, on a 90 degree sunny day!!!! Guess a Starbucks, extra hot, will have to do for now. I'm using the fun sketch I found at Sketch N Stash. For more details about my card and what stash I used, check out my blog, The Stamper's Touch. I'd better shower first before heading out, talk about bed head!!!

Enjoy your today. Be sure and come back tomorrow for our new month long challenge.

We stopped by yesterday with a small gift and a set of cards using this digi for her. There were lots of hugs and tears .. not only from the two of us but from the MANY others who were showing up to tell her they love and appreciate her. It was a sad but blessed day.
