Shirley's 2 Girls- TWIST= "Anything But A Card" challenge!















Shirley's 2 Girls is releasing some AWESOME Valentine images! These little inchies are called "Valentine Love Inchies". This challenge is to make "anything but a card". When I was told that ..I thought "oh no"..I really dont think I can come up with something". Then I started "cruising" SCS and remembered seeing these cute little "post it" note pads. Now I am sure that MOST of you have done something similar but I never had...EASY !! I just loved how simple and cute these came out using the new "inchies" set from S2G! I bought 3 "post it" note pads ($2.00) in Walmart and cut 3 papers- 3 1/8 x 9 1/4. Then I scored at about 3 & 3/8, 3 & 3/4, and 7 & 3/4. Just make your folds and you are ready to make any kind of top! Dp sewed is BG Sugar rush and CB heart, MS border punches and I popped up the inchies that I had colored a little with red Copics. Ofcourse the post it pads are secured inside with strong tape. They are so cute cuz they close like little match books! Perfect little gifts to give my dds' for their desks at work!! Be sure to check out the other dt blogs (S2G list on my blog side)AND stay tuned to see the new suprizes S2G has in store for you this month!! I can tell you they are very very S W E E T !! Mr Linky is waiting for you at the blog! :)

Mojo Monday week 121 Riley is sick!


Decided to use Riley cuz I havent been seeing too much of him lately. Thinking of someone I know who hasnt been feeling well, I matched him up with the Mojo Mon challenge. I colored him with some Copics and used BG Lemonade dp. Just sewed a little and used a MS punch, buttons and a couple Primas. Short and sweet..love it when it turns out that way! TFL!

Crazy 4 Challenges..use polka dots









Here is a quick card I couldnt wait to color up and finally got the chance. I snagged this cute little FREEBIE house from Shirley's 2 Girls and it had two sentiments. "Home Sweet Home" and "There is no place like home". I was really thinking of my son who was home for the holidays with his future wife to show us the ring and celebrate a bit. Okay..maybe more then a bit! he he he! I miss both of them already! This was an easy peasy card to put in the box along with the shirt he left behind and maybe some cookies!DP is BG and image is colored with Copics. I used my SB book die cut and CB the navy then just cut out a few flowers to pop up with the house. tfl!
