A "PRETTY" LATE CHALLENGE WITH A SFYTT TWIST!!

Hey there all!! How are you? Hope you all are better than I was today!! Haha! WOW!! Serious stomach issues!! Not that you came to hear about it, BUT, suffice to say........I am SO glad that I am feeling better!! SO.....believe me, when I say, Hope you all are feeling FABULOUS!!
Anyway.....'nough of that silliness!!! Right? Right on!! I wanted to share my latest creation with you all!! Now........I know I have had several PAPER PRETTIES projects to share lately? BUT.......I am tellin' you........I can't decide which image I like MOST!! Haha! I am REALLY enjoying the PAPER PRETTIES challenges too!! SO.....I am thinkin' this will HAVE to become a weekly thing!! These images just remind me of my kids, SO much!! They are SO super fun to color!! Speaking of coloring and challenges............I have colored this ANGEL WINGS SOPHIA image for TWO challenges!! OK, the FIRST is this weeks' PAPER PRETTIES challenge........

**USE BLACK, WHITE, AND...
ONE ADDITIONAL COLOR!!**

Alrighty......the other challenge I played along with was another FAVE of mine.........



See what I mean?? Great SFYTT and check out that image!! Sweet, huh? I colored her in with my Copics, which I listed those colors below, and I layered her on The Paper Company DSP. I finished up with SU cardstock, Stickles, and a misc flower! I had to take several pics of my creation, so you could see it from diff angles!! Hope you like and hope you will stop back tomorrow!! I have ANOTHER up my sleeve for ya!! SO excited to share it!! Have an AWESOME Thursday!!! I will see you in the EVENING!! Enjoy Life!!

**GOTTA GIVE A CLICK, I JUST LOVE THIS!!**
**CHECK OUT THOSE JAMMIES!!**

Haha!! A PAPER PRETTY quick one that is!! I just got this CA-ute COOPER image, from PAPER PRETTIES the other night!! His name is "I'M SORRY COOPER" and he is a DIGI! Isn't that AWESOME!! INSTANT gratification!!
Anyway!! I started out following a sketch and well??? I ended up scrapping it! Ha! Imagine that!! I used some misc DSP that I had in my stash. That AND my Copics, of course!! Oh......the sentiment is from KRAFTIN' KIMMIE! Gotta LOVE those KIMMIE sentiments! Hope you like and thanks SO much for stopping by!! I have included a few pics, so you could see different angles!! Wait until you see what I have for you on THURSDAY!! WOOHOO!!! If I get a chance I will see you before that and if not? See you then!! ENJOY LIFE!!

HOW ABOUT A WCMD, TGF CREATION???

In ONE hour?? Haha!! WHEW!!! That's what I did with this one!! Hey....thanks for stopping by all!! Hope you are having a GREAT Monday! I wanted to share the creation I made last evening!! THE GREETING FARM was having a WCMD contest this past weekend, on their Facebook page? I figured I would NOT have time to join in the fun!! HOWEVER, when we got home from Kyah's game last night, I figured.......................what the heck? I would give it a try!! I had just a few minutes shy of an hour. I wanted to give it a shot though, ya know? SO.......here is what I came up with! You had to post any NEW, never before seen creation!

What do you think? Not TOO bad....huh? This is my FIRST ever, WILD SPROUTS CHELSEA card!! I do believe I LIKE her!! Haha! Did any of you play along? Would LOVE to see what you created!! Alrighty........off to make dinner!! LOTS to do tonight!! INCLUDING some stamping, of course!!! See you tomorrow!!! ENJOY LIFE!

GET SKETCHY WITH PAPER PRETTIES!!

Hey friends!! I am BACK!! With yet ANOTHER challenge creation!! This time I used the GET SKETCHY #58 sketch! This is the FIRST for this challenge site too!! I told you!! I am WORKING on those challenges!! I also used ANOTHER image from PAPER PRETTIES!! Now that I am SO happy with the company?? I want to share it!! At one time, when they were under OLD ownership. I belonged to their stamp of the month club. Therefore, I had quite a few of these PRETTIES!! However, the whole thing left such a bad taste in my mouth? That I literally did NOT use them!!!
I am here to tell ya...............that has CHANGED!!!! SO happy to create with them now, SO.....be on the look out!! These CA-uties are PERFECT for me, because of my kids!! Heck and their little friends!! Just makes the RIGHT kind of card/creation for them! My NEXT PRETTIES purchase will have to be one of those COOPER ones?? He SO looks like my Kade!! HAHA!!
Anyway......I am babbling....YET again!! SORRY!! I should know better! Especially when we have a football game today! GEESH!! Here is the GET SKETCHY, sketch, and here is my take.





Before I take off...........here is a bit about my creation!! This was created with ALWAYS IN MY HEART SOPHIA and colored in, of course, with my Copics!! LOVE them!! I also used Basic Grey DSP and PTI cardstock. My ribbon is misc, BUT, I LOVE how it matches everything!! Oh......the little enameled brad is ALSO Basic Grey! SO.......what do you think? DUH!! What is wrong with me?? The sentiment is from KRAFTIN KIMMIE and I made that heart swirl thingy with a SISSIX die. I REALLY wanted to use the sentiment, that came with Sophia? However it was just a TAD big, for what I needed!! Shuckssssssss!! Alrighty! Thanks for stopping by and have an AWESOME day!! ENJOY LIFE..................AND?????????????

GO BLACK KNIGHT CHEERLEADERS!!!

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!!!
