Friday Mash-Up #23 with Sweet Sketch Wednesday #118

Hello Friends! Happy Friday! Today I have this adorable schoolbus card to share with you! I made it with two of my favorite challenges in mind, the first being Sweet Sketch Wednesday, and the second is The Friday Mash-up. This week, Friday Mashup's challenge, " itching to be stitching" is to add faux or real stitching to our cards, or, to make a school themed card, OR, to mash it up and do both! Well, I LOVE the look of stitching, but I did not have the patience or time to do it today, but I did use my "sew easy" thread as embellishment! And with all the kiddos back to school, it was fun to ink up "My Little Schoolbus" from Clear Dollar Stamps.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I value your visit and comments dearly!

Friday Mash-Up #22 " What's behind door number ....8 "

 Hi again! This is my second post of the day. I have been behind on .. well, it seems like just about everything, so I am taking time this morning to get caught up. Yesterday I had alot of fun playing along with one of my new favorite challenge blogs, The Friday Mash-up. This week the challenge is to make either a Gate Fold Card, or make a card using Numbers or MASH IT UP and do both!
I, of course, HAD to Mash it up!! My little boy turns 8 later on this month, so it was a perfect time to add the number 8 to my card. Above shows the card closed, the white rectangle with the cake adds as a tab over the gate opening. The picture below shows the card open to a bright dp sunshine.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday #115 & Friday Mashup #20

Happy Saturday friends! Today, I was able to spend some quality time crafting. (yay!) I was inspired by the sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday (#115) , and the challenge over at Friday Mashup (#20). At Friday Mashup, we are challenged to create a project using buttons or a cupcake or Mash It Up and use a cupcake AND buttons! Hold the phone! My favorite cupcake, Cuppie was just itching to come out and play! I chose this set, Udderly Sweet from Taylored Expressions, because this card is intended for my friend, Erica K. who is from University of Nebraska. Coincidentally, so is my BFF, Cassie. humm interesting, right?

Stampin Sisters in Christ #101 & Friday Mashup #18

Looking for this week's Clearly Inspired Challenge? Click HERE to see my post.

Hello Friends! Happy Monday! Well, I hope it is a happy Monday for you. I am doing my best to enjoy my day. I did get a phone call from my DH yesterday, so that is helping today be a bit more bareable.
Well, today I have this cute little hedgehog to share with you. Isnt he just so happy? His smile is so contageous, well, as contageous as a stamped image can be.. haha..
This card is for two challenges, the first being Stampin Sisters in Christ, where the challenge is to use forgotten once 'must have' items. My forgotten item is the pink rhinestones that the hedgehog is holding. I love rhinestones, especially the self-adhesive ones, and it seems, I always forget about them.
The second challenge is The Friday MashUp. The challenge over there is "True Love Sparkles & Shines"  make a glittery card or an anniversary card, or mash them up and make a glittery anniversary card! I think the rhinestones and the sentiment on the card mash into a nice glittery anniversary card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
