All SMILES

Hi everyone!!! I am so glad it is almost Friday!!! This week has been odd, not sure how to take it, lol! I hope we will have a restful and fun weekend ... hopefully my DH will not have to work. :/

The first card is created using the sketch provided at Eat Sleep Stamp today. The kids were 'happily' doing their schoolwork when I slipped away to write down my Thursday challenges hoping to have time to create. When I logged on to this particular blog, I was so shocked to see My name and My card as her featured for last weeks sketch! That hot flushed blushing feeling came over me (so funny!) and I just smiled. My day was officially made! I chose to use my Queen for a Day image for this weeks card. She is a digi image and can be found in my shop, Fresh Brewed Designs. I also created this card using the challenge provided at a new challenge blog called I Love Digis. My wonderful friends Dee and Callie are members there and I am so happy for them! The other challenges I am entering this card to are Crafty Creations: Stitching, Digital Tuesday: Girly, Papertake Weekly: Gingham or checks (ribbon and paper) and The Pink Elephant: Ribbon.

The next little card is featuring another of my little digi images, Rainy Day Butterfly. The challenges for this card include:
Spoon Full of Suger: Springtime
Digital Tuesday: Girly
Belli Challenge: Butterflies or Dragonflies
Crafty Creations: Stitching
Get Sketchy sketch
Our Creative Corner: Something old but new from stash (3 year old paper never cut... :/)

for a quick post. I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far. The kids are eating lunch and getting ready to get back to school. I created this card a few days ago for the Get Sketchy challenge. I twisted the sketch a little but decided to keep the card simple. I used one of my new images Skateboarder Bee for this card American Crafts Celebrations paper and scrap papers. He is colored with prismacolor markers, fun flock yellow and stickles.

Last week??? my mom came over and helped me clean out my craft/ pantry / laundry room. We were able to get a few bookshelves out of my kitchen, create a much more clean and organized area for my crafting AND an area for homeschooling. It is so much nicer to have that room with all the books and tables and all those wonderful things in instead of cluttering up my kitchen. I will give you a partial tour of my home. It is so nice to be able to keep my kitchen Mostly clean now :o)

((this pic was taken a day the kids were not home and all the dishes were washed :0) ))

Love Me!

I do hope you love her. I really need your opinions on this one. I am starting a line of 'gals' to add to Fresh Brewed Designs and want to make sure they are something you all would like or enjoy first. I used the Get sketchy Sketch for this card. I found some paper at Walmart way back when on clearance and just got to use it for her. I think she is fun and pretty. I really hope you do too!!! :o) Her name is Winter and I plan to release her and a few others in the near future. If you know me, I do not write much when I am nervous ... so this is me .. nervous throwing myself out there :)! ((If you are just coming to my blog, I have a post below from this morning that has a new snow buddy image and a new Halloween image:) Hope you get to check them out too.

Hugs!!! Have a wonderful day.

Hi:)! I know I used all my 'breath' typing my last post, but I will do what I can here:). This is my first time making a card for the Get Sketchy challenge. I have drawn them and intended to do them... but something always happened. I used my little Night Owl from Fresh Brewed Designs. He will be released soon... this week even if I decide to :). Our big release at Doodle Street and our shops is going to be held on Octover 7th. We will have a blog hop the Sat and Sunday prior to the release, so be sure to mark the dates!!! We may extend the hop.. that is all still under construction:). The release date and the prizes still stand though. anywho ~ This card was a challenge for me! NO PATTERNED PAPER?!?! I had colored him in BEFORE I chose my paper (not good sometimes) and was a little stumped. I did my best with what I had. I hope you like him.

Thanks for stopping by:)!
