Gotta Love Summer.

It's nice not to have to run some where during the day. The kids have played legos all day. And I had some quiet time to stamp. When I pulled out my Belle's and Whistle stamps the other day, saw this cutie sitting there begging to get inked up. Even better that they had a fun sketch challenge up today! Than I found these flower brads from ages ago and they matched my color combo perfectly! So, got to use some negleted stash too! I used my Cricut to cut out the hearts.

Took part in a few other challenges today too.

Had some time to stamp today! How stinking cute is this image from Belle's N Whistles? I haven't inked it up in ages. I had to play along with a few challenges too.

Sweet Shop's SSS 64

Raise the Bar 26, Baked Goods.

Strange question for you all. I found a tick on Maxwell, the dog, the other day. I think I got all of it. But he seems to be having a reaction to the bite. Can dogs get sick from a tick bite? If it looks strange still Monday I'm taking him to the vet. He's acting alright, but there's a big red spot on his stomach from the bite. Wasn't sure how normal that was.

Happy Belle!

This card turned out so pretty! Pleased as punch with it! I saw Belles N Whistles were looking for some new design team members, so I'm sending in to be considered. I love Elisabeth Bell images, and they sell some super sweet ones. This one is one their favorite images. Be sure to check out their blog for more info on the design team search. The deadline is Wed.

I combined a few other challenges on this card.

Pink Elephant's Challenge, yellow, buttons, and designer paper.

Cupcake Craft Challenge-Buttons.

Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #58

There was one more, and can't remember where I had landed in cyberspace. But it was punches, piercing, and piecing. I'll add a link as soon as I remember where I had wandered too. But I paper pierced the pink sheet, paper pieced her hat and shirt, added new flowers over the hat and colored them since I paper pieced the hat. Won't try that again! Those flowers were small! And punched the sheet under the white lace. Now, if I could find that blog!

Sketch and Stash Challenge Sketch 35. The orange flowers are new, the pearls a new gift from a friend, the white ribbon. The rest is from my stash.

Supplies: K and CO Wild Raspberry, Melon mambo ink, copics, stickles, nesties, SU punch, Belles N Whistle's stamp, TAC sentiment, primas, So saffron cardstock.

Sending Bear Hugs!

Grabbed this cute image from Belles and Whistles. I love Elisabeth Bell images. I grabbed a few of the new images that they just released. I've gotten so many new stamps, but haven't played with any of them yet. The sentiment is from a new TAC set that is coming out.

I've been having a difficult time lately, due to some major personal issues, which is why I haven't been on here posting. So, I used this image first from them, because I'm just really in some needs of hugs! LOL! I'm adopted, and was in foster care for years before being adopted. Lucky for me, a big chuck of those years were with the family that adopted me. My first Christmas with them, I was five, they gave me a bear. I loved the Brady Bunch, and Cindy Brady was my favorite. So, I named her Cindy Bear. I would hug her when ever I was feeling down. To let you know how special Cindy Bear was to me, I still have her in a box. She's full of holes, smelly, and ratty looking. But that bear gave the best hugs!

This card also covers a few challenges.
