But- the good news is I got another and it is charging as we speak! So- hope my pics in the future are better! I used some old K & Co. scraps- (trying to do that alot lately) and the cb, Fiskars water border punch and my new MS seahorse punch! Dont know why I am so excited about using that !! ha ha!

A Phindy Friday challenge- :)

It's time for another challenge at Phindy's blog- Make anything 3-d or an ABC. (anything but a card) This cute little mouse image is called "Hang in there"- This could be used so many ways to give someone a "get well"- but - with it being Summer I thought a quick cute little gift bag or party favor would come in handy! This didnt take long at all and just folded over a cello bag. Anyone know a kid who DOESNT like water balloons?? he he he! TFL! Have a great weekend!

Tag Tuesday and the Cuttlebug spot=embossed tags

Okay- Well I TOTALLY love tags and never get time to make them as much as I want to! I stalk the Tag Tuesday ( Kard Krazy) site and love all that I see there! Also- since I LOVE my CB (cuttlebug spot challenge blog) and embossing , I HAD to do these challenges!! I used some paper scraps from BG and 7 Gypsies and embossed a few with my cb folder. Then, I got to use my NEW CB folder= Caged Bird and cut out a couple. Tag Tuesday is asking to use a postage stamp - these I had just picked up at the local antique mall (German stamps). NOW best of all- I got these VERY COOL stamp images from Estelle at the STAMPSMITH...Arnt they the coolest?? he he he! They are called "Balancing Act". I colored them just a little with my Copics ofcourse! The sentiment is computer generated! TFL! :)

Here we GO- Another PHRIDAY with PHINDY!

Phindy's challenge blog is hosting a "Summer Sunshine" theme for this Friday's stint! I used "Love Flutterby" and colored her with Copics. DP is Imaginisce- Lucy Bird-twinkle twirls and cut her out with my SB scallop circle. Sentiment is computer generated. Hope you all are enjoying your summer! It goes by way too fast! I am blessed to have my nieces here from AZ and Oregon with their hubs and children! Here is just a quick cute shot of them while we were at the zoo! Have a GREAT weekend! :)
