Hello Everyone!

Thanks so much for stopping by.   I don't know why I have this fascination with the Disney characters lately, but any way I just love them.  They are just adorable images.  I just had to use another cut from Beauty and the Beast. I have done so little in the craft area lately.  My posts are not as many as I would like,  but still working a lot of hours at work 6 days a week.  So it has been rough.  All I want to do is come home and sleep.  The Bling It Up Challenge got me so excited.  I have been dreaming about this card for a couple of days.  I just could not wait to cut him out.   Can you guess who this is?  I "blinged" him up for just the challenge.  Enjoy and GOD Bless.

Color Me Happy Challenge #13



Hello Everyone!

I know, I know long time no post, but in my defense I have been working a lot of hours at my job.  So hopefully this cute little card will make up for my absence.

This week at Cardz TV we have a color challenge!  Did someone say color challenge?  Yep, I sure did--try this combination on for size:  Gray, Royal Blue, Marigold Yellow and Rich Purple with the option of using a small amount white and/or black.

Make sure you stop by each blog...one Cardz TV Stamps Designer is doing a sneak peek at one of the new stamp sets.  Can you guess which one of us it is?  Good Luck!

Well,  I must admit this was a challenge.  Then I remembered that this would be an awesome card using the cheerleading digital cart.  Here I was able to use all the colors and bring back fond memories of when I was a cheerleader.  So G-O on over to Cardz TV and P-A-R-T-I-C-I-P-A-T-E in the challenge.  You will be entered to W-I-N some great stamps.  I can't wait to see what you create.  Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy and GOD Bless!
