Modern Sugar Blvd Release

A huge image release is happening today over at Modern Sugar Blvd!! 18 new images are available, along with a 25% off sale for this weekend! Gotta be a bargain hunter since gas prices just went up again! To get the sale price, visit the MSB blog and there is a link for the discount code. You will also be able to see a thumbnail of all the new images. I'll share a couple today....

First up is this pretty called Precious Maid. I typed the sentiment on the computer and she says, "Wanna tickle feathers?" A cute one to give your guy! wink wink! Anyway, I didn't have any black brads, so I colored them with a black marker and waited a bit for them to dry before putting onto the card.

My second card uses the Just Because image One Load at a Time. This one says: You make my heart spin!

Happy crafting!

Jazzy Inspirations 12

Some great colors for this weeks Jazzy Inspirations! Love my blues & greens! They are the colors I wear the most and that you'll find in my closet. Thanks Tenia!

Tomorrow (Saturday afternoon) over on the Modern Sugar Blvd blog, your challenge will be to make what ever you like!!! Pick your colors...pick your sketch...pick your fav Sugarlicious image! How easy can it be?! I used a new image that will be released tomorrow, along with many fantastic gals!!

Paper & ribbon are from Target $1 Spot, and the "Yipee!" is from Hero Arts.

Ahhhhh, hear that sound??? Wait, what sound? I don't hear anything. Right! No alarm clock on the weekdays!!! (at least not too often) School is out and I am done stripping down my classroom and don't need to go back next week!! Woohoo!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Friends...

If friends were flowers...I'd pick you! This card is a total case of one I found during PTI's blog hop the other night! Go see it at Stamping in the Light. I wish I had had some brown buttons for mine, but there was only one to be found! All PTI materials except for the ink and sentiment.

Tomorrow is the last day at school for students, then us teachers have an "official" 1/2 day on Friday. Most of us won't be done at that point and will spend the afternoon, and Monday....and Tuesday....

Happy crafting!

May Blog Hop

It's been a couple of months since I was able to participate in a PTI Blog Hop, and I'm happy it worked out this time! We were to use yellow somehow in our creation. I've used Lemon Tart as my card base, and for my ribbon. The DP from Polka Dot parade also has the yellow in it. I made this card for my Mom's birthday, which was yesterday. I wanted to make sure she saw it in person before seeing it on the blog!

The image is from Modern Sugar Blvd, and colored with a combination of markers and pencils. She is propped up on foam dots. Glitter was added to the frosting, and Glossy Accents to the cake plate...reminds me of milk glass items!

Happy crafting!

What gift?

This cute little elephant from Victoria Case Art Designs is trying to hide a gift behind his back, but you know something special is coming your way! I was lucky enough to win this digital stamp earlier this week for guessing a sneak peak! (Second time that's happened!!!) There was a release today with a little something for everyone...cute, cuddly, hunky, monsters....go take a look!

Lots of card making needs to be done tomorrow...before race times! Since I live in the "Indy viewing area", the 500 is delayed and shown during the evening :-( So, I'll be flipping back & forth between the Indianapolis 500 and the Nascar race while blurfing on the lap top after supper!

Happy crafting!

What is better for a birthday than a cupcake!!! No need to mess with a fork & plate...just grab one and eat! I always ask for white cupcakes with Quick as a Wink frosting (chocolate made with Semi-Sweet morsels) for my birthday. YUM-O!!

Saturday's challenge on the Modern Sugar Blvd blog is to use the sketch and brown, pink, and ivory. It's really been interesting to see what all my fellow sugars have come up with...using the same cupcake and colors...so much variety! Be sure to hop on over to the MSB blog Saturday afternoon to check it all out! Hmmmm, does something smell good in here??? (hint, hint)

Happy crafting,

Sharon

The month of May is always busy...lots going on for my job, DD school stuff, birthdays galore, trying to finish up a Purdue class, nice weather hits....you get the picture! Any posts the next two weeks are short & to the point!!

Happy crafting!
