merry & bright...

Happy Saturday!!!

I tell you, that'll be something that I'll never tire of saying!!!

I have a couple things to share with you today...first up is

{miss} m's sketch challenge #4

Savitri calls this her "sad face" but I think she is just tooooo stinkin' adorable!

I flipped the sketch and came up with this:

All the patterned paper and the die cut is MME. I love their stuff...can't get enough of their stuff! Psstt....I was the lazy bones crafter and didn't want to change out my thread on the Janome so I went with what was already threaded...chocolate...okay, it works...the outline of the text on the die cut is chocolate too..whew..good way to explain that one..LOL. I went with the unexpected ribbon choice...chocolate...to bring out the other chocolate and well, I didn't have red polka dot ribbon...bahaha...

Okay, several weeks ago I told myself that I wanted to make more non-sketch challenge cards...this is one of them:

Ahhhh...gotta love those My Cute Stamps snails...especially when they are wearing their sparkly shells:) The 'rolling hills' have actually been swiss dotted and are on pop dots...the hills are 2 separate panels...seriously, who doesn't LOVE Eskimo Kisses? I have to tell you though, I seemed to have 'misplaced' my 6x6 pad after this project. What the heck? I know...I must have travelled with it or something...travelled as in, IN MY HOUSE...oy...yes, I should share a pic of my crafting hallway...it's a MESS'ola.

You all know how much I love a 'good deal'...I mean, who doesn't?? Well, see my background paper? It is MM and glittered...guess where I bought it??? ROSS...good grief ladies...I couldn't believe it! Here's the thing, there was only 1 pkg left and in my true stealth ninja moves I swooped down and made my way to the cashier as quick as possible...what's that? How much did it cost? $5!!! $5....can you stand it?!!! How many sheets? 24! OY....did the room just clear out? Stampede over at Ross!!!

Okay, I better step away from the keyboard...somebody's had too much coffee and is crackin' herself up...yup, that's me!

Come on back tomorrow for 365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday and a pic or two of some recent happy mail:)

Well, this is a change from my regularly scheduled posts....my blogging sista Savitri asked me to help out on M's Sketch Challenge #3!!!! I am super flattered that she asked me....you know how much I love m's challenges!!!! Savitri & M even managed to get a sponsor for this sketch....the very fabbie Regina of The Cutting Cafe!!!!!! Now how coolio is that? You all know how much I ♥♥ Regina and The Cutting Cafe!!

Okay, here's the bashful m with her Sketch Challenge #3:

Here's my take on the fun sketch:

Many of you know how I adore non-traditional holiday colors...pink and green have got to be my favorite!!!!!! The mitten is from Mitten Shaped card template...sooooo stinkin' FUN!!! I used martha glitter to outline the mitten and of course I had to add the fun poms...gotta love the poms!

Okay, so please join me in both Get Sketchy & M's Sketch Challenge!!!

frosty greetings...

Have you heard about M's Sketch Challenge??

For those that have been following me, they know how much I enjoy challenges....M's Sketch Challenge is super fabulous because the sketch artist is Savitri's most a-dorable whipper snapper 'm'!! I couldn't pass up the opportunity to play along AND perhaps even get a comment from 'm'...okay, I'd be happy with you too Savitri..LOL.

I bought 2 sheets of Bo Bunny paper...pink and green polka dots...lovely stuff...ultra sweet. Those cutie pie scallop trees are from The Cutting Cafe! The All About Christmas Set seriously ROCKS!!! That Regina is quite the busy chicklet!

I've been busy putting together projects for an upcoming Holiday Sale...remember, I work better under pressure....it is in less than 1 week....oy.
