The Dirty Girls are at it again!

It's that time of year again! What time you ask? Well it's the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges going on over at Splitcoaststampers of course! This year I'm hosting a challenge again but I' can't share the details of that challenge...no, no, no ;0) You have to be a Fan Club member in order to join me and all of the other Dirty Dozen and Dirty Dozen Alumni in the games :D Already a Fan Club Member? Well then join me for my challenge won't you? :D

While in the US last month I borrowed this image from my friend Angela (the Cat's Pajama's image) but I forgot to stamp out the sentiment to match, so I combined it with a sentiment from the Sentimental Birthday set from There She Goes. I think that it works well don't you? :)

That's it for now but I will be back tomorrow with another Dare to Get Dirty card for you viewing pleasure :) On a side note, I would like to apologize for clogging up your email and google readers with a glitch in my blog distribution of posts. Apparently quite a few of you were bombarded with posts dating back to May 1st. I'm not sure how that happened? Anyhoo, I'm sorry for forcing my cards upon you all :D

SC293 - Tea and Love

Hi all! I'm back with a super quick post so that I can show you that once in a while I get a chance to participate in some SCS Challenges ;) I made this card for the SC293 Sketch Challenge and got to take some new stamps for a test drive in the process. Ahhhh...got of love the smell of new rubbah in the wee morning hours! lol

I just recently put in my first order for some of the new releases by The Cat's Pajama's stamp company and let me tell you...I will be back with a vengeance! These stamps are awesome and I was thrilled with the shipping times too :D




For this card, I combined the A Cuppa set with the sentiment from the Ship Happens set to create this sweet and fun little A2 sized card. The bear has been water coloured with tombows, the background was sponged and the apron was paper pieced. I also had a chance to utilize some of my much neglected felt flowers from SU but I added a button to them to jazz it up a bit :)

Alrighty. That's all for now as I am off to bed to saw some logs :) Have a great night everyone!
