Can you believe 9 challenges!!

Okay so it wasn't that hard.  With it being so close to Valentine's Day everyone has the same themes going on.  This card is for my Hubby who I love dearly and would rather be caught dead than be seen reading my blog!!  I still love him anyways!

I used my wonderful Karen Doodles First Kiss digi and colored it with my Triart markers.  The PP is Bela BLVD Sugar Plums.  I got it a LLS on clearence with some other Christmas stuff.  However it looked more like Valentine paper with the hearts on it.  Unfortantly I covered most of it up so you can't really see how cute it is.  I stamped a bunch of hearts with a $ stamp from Michaels and then cut it into pieces.  I reallly like how it turned out.  The sentiment is a Michaels $ stamp as well.  I used last weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday's skecth #33 because I liked it so much but didn't get a chance to play with it until now.

TGF CHA relay, a sketch, and some a extra stuff!

Good morning my blog world friends!!
Well my kids get to sleep in and I get to post this without speeding through it.  Rhalynn's school is on a two hour delay this morning because of the weather.  I'm so ready for spring time and flip flops!!

First off I wanted to let everyone know that on Friday if I've reached a 100 followers (I'm only 8 away)  I'll be putting in everything I have to give away in the blog candy box and adding a second drawing for some wonderful paper!!  So let everyone know!!  If you still haven't evented my blog candy you can go HERE.

Anyways this is my card for The Greeting Farm's CHA relay day 2.  Meet Charlotte!  Isn't she just the cutest.   I used Delightful Sketch #15.  The Paisley paper is from Making Memories.  I absolutly love this paper and I'm down to my last sheet.  I'm not sure the yellow works very well but I needed a color that really stood out against the paisley.



I need to learn to color darker skin so I can color Charlotte here like little Miss Taytum.  Taytum is the daughter of one of my best friends Jodi.  Doesn't Charlotte look like she could have been created from Tay's image.

TGF CHA relay day 1 and Get Sketchy #22

I know I posted this card yesterday but I just wanted to start all over when I wasn't so freaked about not getting it uploaded to the TGF gallery.  My hubby didn't understand why I was so freaked but I know you girls would understand.  I promise I'm not crazy all the time.

The card isn't great but this skecth really gave me fits.  It took me like 2 hours to get it right.  All the papers are from my scrap stash.  I'm slowly but surly getting it cleaned out.  The image is from TGF, he is Mer Ian.  If you hurry you can get him too.  Just stop by The Greeting Farm blog and pick up this free image.  If you get you card uploaded to their gallery and comment on the post before 6:00cst tonight they will email you the next image that you can see in THIS POST.
