Simplicity is this cards middle name. It really looks simple to me. I usually add more bellies but for the image I think its fine. hopefully you think so too :)

The sketch is Friday Sketchers , they have some great sketches. The stamps are CD stamps

this little chipmunk is the cutest, the name of the set is "Just Nutty" and there is a companion set to go with it "Nutty Christian."

RAK'D

The past two days at my mailbox have been happy ones. NO Bills! I got RAK'D Yesterday I received some images from Chris the Belli Queen to use in her belli challenge. The images are from her first set of many I am sure to be released in her new career at Sweet N'Sassy stamps as a stamp designer. She has two sets to be released on Sept 1st. I am honored to be a part of the Belli Challenge DT and get these in advance.

Another three in one

Happy Saturday! My DH is out of town so I have been busy around the house but I had to take time and do a challenge. I did alot of distressing because of the whole "boy" thing, I even distressed the flower..haha. The sketch is at A Spoon Full Of Sugar, I kinda altered it just a bit so that's one challenge. My Time To Craft has a recipe to follow, 1 ribbon, 1 flower, 2 buttons and glitter. Its hard to see my glitter but I used a glitter pen on his overall buckles and on his pocket studs so that's challenge number 2. Stamp Something has a Birthday challenge, so that's challenge number 3. Oh by the way this little guy is "Frogetful Sam" he is another cutie from Sweet N' Sassy Stamps!

Four Challenges One Card!

I made it 4 challenges in one card! so here we go. The sketch is Tamara's if you have not been to her blog she has some Great Sketches! There is a brand new challenge blog I ran across Cupcake Craft Challenge and the first challenge is to use Flowers, check! another challenge blog I ran across Whatchadoin' Wednesday and the challenge is Sparkles, check! and the last but not least is over at Ooh-la-la is Christmas, check! The paper is Imaginisce, and the stamp "Cottage Floral" and sentiment "Christmas Scripts" are CTMH. I pinched the flowers to give them dimension and added a little stitching. I love making Christmas cards had to play Christmas on my Ipod while I created, Christmas will be here before we know it!

Three Challenges One Card

This one turned out to be a 3 in 1. I love to see how many challenges I can combine in one card. 3 is the magic number so far. This is my take on Kazen's #7 over at 2Sketches4You. The challenge over at Dutch Dare is to make a Get Well Card, and then it fits the qualifications at Cute Card Thursday to use BRIGHT COLORS. This is my second card for the CCT challenge. I used basically the same as yesterday just different sketch and I embossed the "Get Well".

Stampin’ hugs,

CCT/OCC Two In One

This one is a double challenge card. Cute Card Thursday's Challenge is to make a card using BRIGHT colors and I think my card qualifies..lol. and the sketch is from Our Creative Corner. Everything is basically from my stash. Great sketch I may add!

Papertake Weekly/Katharina #9

The challenge this week at Papertake Weekly is another sketch by Katharina! She uses alot of layers in her sketches and I love them! they are very challenging when selecting your papers. It usually takes me a while just to figure out what papers I want to use. The paper in this one is from Imaginisce and the stamp a RAM from her new collection. These stamps are so adorable! you can find them at Sweet N' Sassy Stamps.

Belli Challenge #30

This week at Creating with Chrissy the Belli Challenge is coasters! I have a couple post it note holders already on my blog made with coasters so I decided to make this mini purse. It hold 3x3 cards and the front and back is made with coasters. I had to take a top picture so you could see this because just looking at it from the front you cannot see the coasters. I also tried to get all my cards in the picture also but it did not come out as well. The stamp set is Chocholic from Sweet N' Sassy stamps and the paper is More To Adore from CTMH. This was a fun challenge and you can see what the rest of the DT created.

MJ's Monday Lunchtime #29

This is a card I made for a friend's daughter who needs a little lift in prayer. I used MJ's Monday lunchtime sketch at Technostamper. The design paper is some I had not sure who makes it. the Cardstock is CTMH- Heavenly Blue, and Colonial White and the stamped verse is from SNS stamps "Encouragement" the inside reads "you are in my thoughts and prayers." from the SNS set "Jesus Cares".

I love the way it turned out, of course the camera does not show it as well

PTW/CCT

Same paper as Yesterday but different sketch, This is one of Katharina's for PaperTake Weekly. She has such great Sketches! This is another two in one, Cute Card Thursday's challenge is "The Two of Us" I used this adorable RAM set, I got from Sweet N' Sassy stamps. I love trying to combine challenges see how many I can fit in one card. I have made it to a three in one but that's it so far. The card is a little crooked because I took it outside and it was not on a flat surface, but I wanted to try to get true color.
