SMILE! It's Monday!

It's MONDAY!!

WOOT WOOT!!!

HORRAY!!! 

Let's PARTY!

*she says as she sits at her computer. the house still quiet because everyone is sleeping.

all she hears are birds singing and cars driving past the house. 

it was actually cool enough to open windows this morning! 

she also hopes the neighbors dog, a huge black annoying dog, doesn't start barking

its head off like it did  at 3 and 5 AM. 

she is enjoying drinking her almost luke warm coffee and is preparing to share a happy

little project with you because it is Monday and we should be happy. 

It is the start of a new week.

More time to praise and thank God for his many blessings on our lives.

More time to figure out how to live more for Him.

more time to figure out this parenting thing that is harder than she ever imagined it

would be. More time to spend loving and being with her family. 

another wonderful day, another gift from the Father. 

*ahem - she would be me if you didn't figure that out yet ;-)*

Now, I know many of you think clowns are creepy. 

All clowns are creepy. 

But I hope I can change your mind with this one. 

This image is part of our newly released set of  Dress Up Kids

found at the Fresh Brewed Designs Shop <

Little Clown Dress Up Digital Stamp

This card was created using the sketch found at

SWEETEST THING SUNDAY #241

as well as the photo inspiration at 

CUPCAKE INSPIRATIONS #283

For those of you who are still scared, look away! 

It is a close up!!!

Here is a close up of this sweet little dress up kid.

 You can see all of the pretty sparkle I added using a variety of

stickles glittler paint colors.

 I also used a lime colorbox chalk ink to create the green center of my diecut circle. 

The smile sentiment is by inkadinkado.

This image was colored using a mix of sharpie and prismacolor markers 

ALL papers were found in my scrap box. Even the red card base. 

My scrap box isnt really a 'scrap box'. There are huge pieces in there. 

I need to dig in there more ;)

Thank you for stopping by today!

I do hope you have a very happy and blessed day.

Happy Wednesday!

I hope you are all having a happy and blessed week so far.

I have so many things to be thankful for, I can't even begin to list them all!

I will start by letting you know that today is my dear and sweet friend  Sheryl's birthday.

She is such a blessing in my life and I am so glad that God brought us together. 

She is not only a wonderful and caring friend, but she is also an amazing 

card designer. She helps me out so much and is such an encouragement. 

Sheryl, I hope you have a very beautiful and happy birthday! 

In honor of her special day,

I chose to create with our NEW Digi: CUTIE BUG GIFT 

I used the splitcoast stampers Wednesday sketch for this card

This card was created using papers from my huge scrap box. I have had them

FOREVER and have no idea what line they came from. The twine and textured fabric 

are also from a huge messy box of ribbon madness. 

The red felt is actually a flocking transfer sheet by Martha Stewart. 

Other materials: Spellbinders die: Scalloped circles,  pearlex powders, prismacolor markers, 

white gel pen, and a SU sentiment stamp. 

(Close up of painted on sparkle)

The next card I have to share with you is for our NEW June challenge at FBC. 

The challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to create a NEW project using

the colors RED WHITE AND BLUE

My card features the Fresh Brewed Designs Digital Stamp:

BOB

I also used the splitcoast stampers Wednesday sketch for this card

Materials: SCRAP PAPERS (blue cs is by bazzil I think)

Darcie embossing folder: clouds

Prismacolor markers, copic markers,  and a white gel pen

I added a sentiment to the inside of the card using a printed sentiment 

and cut it out with a PTI Cloud diecut
