"A Scoop Of Love For My Sweet"

Good Evening Everyone! I am very happy to report that I have ALL of my Domestic Goddess Chores done for the upcoming week! Yay! Now more time for the important stuff, Coloring and Creating! LOL!

I must admit, I finished this card the other day, but it needed some time to dry! If you know me, you know that I am not the most graceful person in the world! LOL! So I make sure I give things plenty of time to dry before I start touching and moving them around!

This creation is for two different challenges and a tip on a SALE that is going on! So get ready... I am going to be long winded! LOL!

The first challenge is for Priscilla Style's Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #86. I have included a picture of the sketch that I used. She always has two sketches every week... one being Very Fancy and the other is Clean and Simple (CAS)! I love that you can follow either sketch or create something that is in between both of them! I usually try to do the fancy one, as that is where I personally need the most help (thinking outside my normal style)! You still have plenty of time to work with one of her sketches and submit your creation! The deadline date and time is Monday, January 17, 2011 at 7pm CST! If you have time, come join in the fun! 

The second challenge that I will be entering is Copic Creations #42. The theme of this challenge is "Anything New". On this creation... the image (only a week old), the wonderful heart charms (only a little over a week old), and the swirl rhinestones (two weeks old)... so to me they are all NEW Goodies! For this challenge you still have plenty of time to submit your creation! The deadline date and time is Monday, January 31, 2011 at 12pm CST! If you have time come on over and join in on the fun!

Now for the tid bit on a wonderful SALE... The Stamping Boutique is having a 35% Off Sale on all digi's! Isn't that exciting? The image that I have used in this creation is one from Tracey's (owner of The Stamping Boutique) NEW Valentine's Day Line! I just love what I can do with her images! I recently purchased several images. I have them printed and ready to be used! I can't wait to see what I come up with! So be on the  look out for more of her images in next couple of weeks! I am unsure of how long the sale will last, so don't miss out... Check out her store soon!

"Make A Wish, There Are Fairies"

Good Afternoon To All! I hope your New Year's Celebrations were wonderful! I don't know about all of you; but I will be happy to get back to my normal routine! LOL! I do so much better with structure! Today, I have a new type of project to share with you! Okay, so it really isn't something new; but new to me! LOL! Instead of creating a card... I have created a picture! My very first one, I am so excited! I think it turned out really well, what do you think?

 Let me start out by saying, Holy Cow! I had no real clue what I was doing! LOL! The idea sprang from a wonderful sketch from Priscilla Style's Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #82. It was such a wonderful sketch to work with! (Okay... I have to be honest... I am learning how to print out digi stamps and well... I made the image way to big for a card with all the goodies I wanted to add! There you got me! LOL!)

But no matter what, I love it! I will be submitting this picture into the challenge, which ends today! Yikes! The deadline time is 7pm CST! 

This beautiful fairy is one from the Digi Doodle Shop. That reminds me, the other day I told you about their 50% off all digi's for the month of December; well if you missed out... I have awesome news! Judy and her Mother have decided to extend the 50% off sale for another 2 WEEKS! Isn't that wonderful? With that said... the sale will last until January 15, 2011!!! I will also be submitting this creation into the store's challenge blog... The Digi Doodle Shop's Best. The theme of challenge #39 is "Anything Goes". You still have time to submit a creation, the deadline date is January 5, 2011!  

There are two other challenges that I will be submitting this creation to...

Top Tip Tuesday ~ Challenge #15 "Get Embellishing" Deadline is today at 9:30pm CST

and

Copic Creations ~ Challenge #41 "Sparkle" Deadline is January 14, 2011 at 12pm CST
