Happy to find Jamie's sketches!!!

Oh, I am so happy Jamie is posting sketch challenges again!! I missed her! I may have missed her posting a sketch the past month or two, but I found her again now! :) I used an image I got from my bella sistah Martha. I love her!! I think I will have to put her on my order! Thanks Martha! Anyways, a quick one to get back into Stamping Bella sketch challenges...

Thanks for stopping in and let me know what you think!

Bella Challenges and frustration!!!

I wanted to post a couple cards I got done. I have been sick most of the week and a fever of close to 105 most of yesterday and still between 101-103 today. It sucks though because my work is really not the most understanding. I thought I might be able to go in a little this afternoon because I always feel guilty phoning in, but the Dr. nixed that idea this morning. My BF thought I was going to try work and called there. Of course my co-worker answered and he asked if I was there and she said no. He said I must have been told to stay home then because I was still sick and she made it seem to him like I was lying about being sick at all. I just hate that. I also have 5 kids - 4 that I share my sick time with and 15 days through the year sometimes isn't enough. So I am out of paid leave, so as if I would be home sick not getting paid if I had any other choice....

Sorry! Now I am venting...

This card is for the bella color challenge (73). It was to use red as a focal on the card. I forgot to do the distressing part of it but still am happy with it and planning to send it to my cyber friend Laura who had surgery this week...


This one is for the sketch challenge (73) in the bella forums. I just love Stamping Bella stamps!

Cuddly Valentine

I made this for the High Hopes sketch challenge. This is the first time I have done one of theirs. I used a GinaK stamp set Cuddles & Hugs. I put it on watercolor paper and used my aqua painter to color it in. I was pretty happy with the results. I decided I wanted to make a non traditional Valentine colored card.



As always thanks for stopping by and if you like what you see, please leave me a comment! Thanks so much!

Hi everyone!! Just wanted to post my challenge for the bella sketch challenge from Monday. It is BSC54 and you can find it here. I am pretty excited about it, I think it turned out pretty well, some of my better work. I really want to make an effort to expand a little more on my creativity if it is possible (which I think it is...;)).



Thanks for popping in and let me know what you think!!!

A Wednesday Sketch Challenge and an empty house

Well first things first -Here is a sketch challenge I made for todays SCS challenge SC194. I used Bella Rose DP, Choc chip card base, Red Riding Hood and Pink Pirouette CS and the stamp set Embrace Life. I have an open house and a SAS class this weekend and I should really get more prepared for them, but I have been having a rough week..

On top of feeling not too great the past couple of days, my baby of my 5 children started preschool today. I am just not sure how I feel about all of that! It makes me want another one I think! Sadly it is no longer an option... :) And in a second breath I am not so sure I want to go back to diapers and bottles!

Have a great day and try out the sketch challenge if you have some free time!
