BY LORI DESIGNS AND UNSCRIPTED SKETCHES!!

GOOD morning blogland!! HAPPY Sunday!! Today is such a BUSY day!! I have cleaning, cleaning, and more cleaning!! That and today is FOOTBALL game day!! Kyah is SUPER excited to cheer again! She is REALLY liking it!! Know what is funny? She wishes they had practice MORE often then they do!! Haha!! I would say that is a PRETTY good sign!!
Anyway.........I went out to our local ACmoore last night to use my 50% off coupon. They are REALLY improving. They have started to carry Spellbinders! WOOHOO!! I got a set of tags for $10.00!! YAY me!! Haha!! Of course I had to come home and use them RIGHT away! BUT....before I did? I searched for a sketch to follow! You know.....the whole joining of sketches thing? Playing along?? This is what I found! This is my FIRST sketch from UNSCRIPTED SKETCHES!! This is a HAPPENIN' sketch and I have looked at their past ones? They are TOO!!! Check it...............

Unscripted Sketches #75

AND....you know I had to change it up....JUST a bit! This is what I came up with!
So....what do you think?? I also got that DSP, by K & CO! Hey, what can I say....it was %40 off per sheet!! You CANNOT beat that!! Wanna know.....the BEST thing about this creation?? My image!! This is the LOLLIPOP LANDON digi, from BY LORI DESIGNS!! LORI ROCKS!! She is such TALENTED person, not to mention an AWESOME lady!! I have been following her work for awhile and was SO thrilled, when she went DIGITAL!! Now.......the version I have? I got thru SCS, as a stamp, in a trade!! How lucky was I?? VERY, I tell ya!! I LOVE him!! I cannot tell you the company that he orignated from though, for I do NOT care for their business practices!! SO....instead of dwelling on that?? I will tell you WHERE you CAN find him in DIGI format!! Who would NOT like that? I mean......INSTANT gratification!! Yeah man!!! You can get one of your VERY own at BY LORI DESIGNS and CLAUDIA & CO.!!! They are SO many others too!! LOTS of fun!! Let's see.....I used my Copics, of course, and SU buttons; along with my PTI and SU cardstock. Hope you like and hope you will stop back!! I have another for you tomorrow!! Thanks SO much for stopping by and letting me share with you!!! Have a GREAT day and I will see you later!! ENJOY LIFE!!!

This creation is for the PAPER PRETTIES animal challenge AND the SFYTT, from today! You can find the SFYTT sketch below! Can you believe it?? Well, I TRIED to get close to the SFYTT sketch!! HONEST!! You know me......ALWAYS having to change it a BIT!! This makes me want to go to market!! Haha! I LOVE the NEW set I used, from PAPER PRETTIES!! It's called "What The Cluck?" Cool huh? SO many options with this one!! Guess what?? There is NOW another set to match this one!! Oh yeah!! That is my NEXT purchase from there!! Speaking of purchases from PAPER PRETTIES...............................................

I had resigned myself to the definite fact, that I would NOT be purchasing from this company EVER again. THANKFULLY.....................................that has changed!!! Want to know why??? Because the company has changed!!! BIG woohoo on that one!!! There is a BRAND new CHANGE in ownership!! HOORAY for Heather Lee-Reppen!!! SO glad you are NOW the owner extraordinaire!! Now I can get myself some more of these cuties!! AND?? She is QUICK too folks!! Did I mention reasonable??? HELLO?? Oh.......WAIT, WAIT,WAIT!!! There are also DIGI'S!!!! Yepper, you saw right!!! Some of the images are available as digital images!!! SO exciting!! You all know me and my DIGI'S!!!
OK.....I will stop babbling now!! BUT...before I do....a little about my creation!!! I colored that SWEET image in with my Copics and mounted everything on PTI cardstock. I used SU buttons and misc ribbon. I finished it off with some SUPER cute DSP from DCWV; it's called Farmer's Market!! WAY appropriate.......right? Alrighty, I listed my Copic colors below and hope you will stop back tomorrow evening for some MORE fun!!! I will have some WORLD CARD MAKING DAY creations to share......for share!!! Until then??????????????? ENJOY LIFE!!!!

HOOGA BOOGA!!!

Hey there all!! Happy Saturday to you!! It is a BEAUTIFUL day here!! I hope you have BEAUTIFUL weather, where you are too!! I had said on Thursday that I had a LOT of stuff to share!! SO......I thought I would stop by with one for ya!!! Now, I know this set is NOT new to the market? BUT......it sure is new to me!! I have been wanting this HOOGA BOOGA set for awhile and was SO excited to find it on SCS!!! If you are NOT familiar with it, you can find it at MFT!!! I am really quite attached to some of those MFT sets and this one is NO exception!! I made this cutie for my daughter Kyah!! She has been having some issues adjusting to her NEW wake up time, with school and all!!! Therefore, I plan to surprise her with this!! Her school has an internal post office for the kids, run by kids for the most part. You know they do get a little help from their teachers though!! Anyway, I used my PTI cardstock and my Basic Grey DSP, of course!! Put that together with my Copics and some SU ribbon and VOILA!!! I did consider using Stickles on her WHOLE body, but, I really liked how the coloring turned out, SO I refrained! Haha!! Hope you like and hope to see you tomorrow!! Kyah has a football game to cheer for and then we are having a family get together, BUT, I will be stopping by in the evening for another card share!!! Have an AWESOME day, thanks SO much for stopping by, and ENJOY LIFE!!!!

**HEY, give a click to see her up close and personal!!

A ONE LAYER WONDER, FOR STAMPINSANITY!!

Hey there everyone!! Long time no see!! Sorry I have not been around too much, but, there has been a LOT going on on the home front here, that needed my attention!! SO....I apologize!! BUT......I missed you all, if that is anything?
Anyway, I thought I would stop by to share a NEW challenge, going on over at the ASYLUM!! The StampInsanity Asylum, that is!! The challenge this week is to create a..........................

SISC27 ONE LAYER WONDER!!!

Hmph! Let me tell you.....that was SO hard for me!! For as you ALL should know or seen, I LAYER like there is NO tomorrow!! SO?????? This was WAY, WAY hard for me!!! However.............I managed to create something!! I used some words from the OTHERWORLDLY LOVES set!! If you give a click on that name, you can see that and ALL the other fabulous sets, from STAMPINSANITY!! I use this one a LOT!!! One AWESOME thing about this set, is that it has a stamp with the name ERIC?? Well........my hubby's name is Eric!! So.........it is PERFECT!! Now, granted....my hubby is NOT a vampire, but, he IS way better looking than the vampire Eric!! Haha!! I am a bit biased though, ya know? I made this creation with him in mind!! I know, I know.....flowers are NOT a guy thing.....but....hey....I used his name at least!! Thanks SO much for stopping by!! I have SO much to share with you all, I have gotten some real cuties here recently and want to share my creations with them!! Stop back soon, ok?? I LOVE to see ya!! Have a GREAT day!! Remember, we are only here once so....................................ENJOY LIFE!!!
