As soon as I saw the challenge over at Magnolia Down Under this week I was so excited and inspired! One of my good friends, April Rose, was invited to join their design team. Congrats April!

Fussy and Fancy Challenge 8, my sketch!

It’s time for another Fussy and Fancy Challenge. This time our Challenge is a Sketch by ME! I’m new to the whole sketch drawing stuff so I hope you all like it and will participate with us! Our Sponsor this week is In Style Stamps. The winner will get to choose any 4 digis.

I seriously LOVE this card, I know I say that about all my cards but I really do love it! I got the image from my friend April, when we got together last month I stamped me a few images. We had went to a local scrapbook store that day too and I found this paper and it’s just PERFECT for this stamp. I really need to start buying 2 sheets of paper. LOL! I didn’t want to add too much to this because I didn’t want to cover up the gorgeous paper. So my card might look a little naked, I still love though.

Whiff of Joy Challenge 73!

I’m super late with this, I’m so so sorry Bev and Donalda! I had my wisdom teeth on my left side pulled on Monday, unexpectedly. Since I will no longer have insurance I’ve made dr appointments and dentists appointments, using up as much insurance as I can lol! My teeth, or I shall say gums will not stop bleeding. The dentist had to cut my bottom one out because all the tools (she literally hammered my tooth) were not working. So it’s been a wonderful 2 days. I haven’t been able to eat much because of it, well in general actually stress does wonders for my figure, although now I’m probably under 115…
