2 Sketches 4 You

2 Sketches 4 You Bonus

I can not believe we are through the first week of April! WOW!!!

I had these images from a swap a long time ago and forgot about them. I love these images and had so much fun creating with them. I colored them up with my prismacolor markers. The first card was created using scrap paper and RAKed paper. The second card was created using a fiscars punch, American Craft paper and a Martha Stewart wide ribbon. I got it a while ago at a discount store. It is so yummy and velvety! I hate to use it because I know it will soon be gone :(. lol. Am I the only one who hoards things and NEVER ends up using them?
LOL

I hope you all have a lovely day!

Other Challenges:
Stamp something: Pink
Fab n Funky: neapolitan ice cream

The Pink Elephant: Nature

... for you

Hi everyone. I hope you have had a wonderful week thus far. The kids are both better, finally!!! Tommy Ray is on his 2nd go of antibiotics to get this mess knocked out of him for good. Hannah has gotten back into the swing of her dance classes and I got to make a card during the daily breaks today :o) Yay for leftover nights :o) lol!!! Hannah thinks this card is creepy, but I thought it was fun. I hope you are on my side with this one :o). I was looking through my madness of goodies in my drawers. The stuff that gets left alone, looked at, and told hello on occasion, but never used. I found a bag of googly eyes and the idea hit me.. well, I first found the sketch on 2 S 4 Y and then it hit me, lol! I had to make it.

I found an acrylic heart that I cut into lips, added eyelashes and voila! I could not find a BG paper I liked well enough, so I finally drew my own :D. The sentiment is printed from my computer. I cut the 4 U with my cricut (Plantin Schoolbook). The pink paper is DCWV white core paper that I ran through the cuttlebug (swiss dots) and sanded with a sandpaper block.
That about sums it up... I hope you have a great night. I will hopefully be back tomorrow. Don't forget about my BUG IMAGE RELEASE HOP on Friday!!! :) for a way to win an image ahead of time check here

The next card I am sharing with you is for the
Pink Elephant Birthday Blog Hop

I feel horrible that my life got in the way of my remembering to get this up today. I apologize more than you could ever know. This is one of my top 3 Challenge blogs that I NEVER (well almost) miss out on participating with and love dearly. The ladies there are not only inspirational, they are amazingly sweet and loving and such blessings to me. They give a part of their heart along with their beautiful creations and always spread smiles along the way.

For the card I created for the hop, I used this weeks current challenge: Valentines as well as the Pink Elephant Challenge #38 ~ Black, distressing and hardware. I know I used eyelets...but I used so many I figured it could be hardware? :) To choose a favorite challenge was impossible. They all so unique and amazing!!! Heres to many many more wonderful challenges, more love and many more smiles.
Happy Birthday Pink Elephant!!!

Challenges:
Pink elephant: Valentine
OCC Masculine Valentine
Stamp Scrap Doodle Valentine no red

TGF and 2S4Y

Hi everyone, I am sure you have all seen SO many of these ADORABLE MerIans floating around today and am sure 2S4Y will see many more as the week goes by. I had a blast creating with this cutie!! My sewing machine went loopy on me, so I did end up stitching this ribbon by hand. I loved coloring and giving this guy his personality. So fun!

I am off to finish cooking. I have one sick baby (my son), a very lively and happy 7 (almost 8 she continues to remind me) year old little girl, an exhausted husband and the smell of BBQ, baked beans, slaw and all that good stuff floating around. I am staying home tonight with T.R. and dad is taking Han to ballet. She has missed 2 weeks and is DYING to go. Please remember to pray for my Granny. She could really use some extras right now.

Thanks for stopping by. See you again tomorrow :)
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON , BUT WHEN i WENT TO UPLOAD TO THE TGF GALLERY IT SHOWED THE CARD THEN WENT TO A PAGE THAT SAID ACCOUND SUSPENDED. i CAN NOT VIEW THE GALLERY ANYMORE AT ALL!!! i AM SO UPSET :( BOOO ... ANYONE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED???

It's in the gallery now (wipes brow) Whew!!! :o)

Hugs,

Heather

Moving Slow...

It has been a Mondy kind of day, but the sun finally poked through the clouds and everyones moods have lifted. This morning my son woke with a low fever and headache. I let him rest in the living room while Hannah and I started school. When I went to check on him, he told me God said Hello to him 3 times. I said, 'Really? how?' he said with blinking light. I had no idea what he meant. A few minutes later he said "hello God", then to me "Mama, he did it again". I then rememberd a long time ago we were sitting at the table having school when the sun peeked brightly through the gloomy clouds. It was so bright and filled the entire room with light. I told the kids God had told us hello. I guess they remember things we seem to forget ourselves. That was a nice thing to think about everytime the room grew bright. Now the sun is out, no clouds and God is shining down on us. :)
