Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I have two posts for you today. I'll start off with a new/old artist. Gayle, which we all know as "FairyD" from the
Fairy Doodler's Den has started a new line of images called TeddyBo. The new challenge site for those is
here. I was a lucky winner last week at her
Fairy Doodler Challenge blog and won some of these new images! (Which by the way she gives away a free image to use in each of her Fairy Doodler challenges, so everybody is really a winner.) The
Teddy Bo's are super cute and just perfect in time for Valentines Day.
I colored "
Teddy Bea" up in greens and blues with my Prismas and accented with brown to go with the color of my teddy bo. It doesn't show up very well but I did add some sparkle to his little heart. I used Flora flowers this time and ribbon from RRR and My Creative Scrapbook kit. The products from my "hoarding stash" were the flowers, gem swirls, and ticket. I gotta find my love stamp and I'm gonna stamp that on the ticket too. I also sprayed that with my glimmer mist. I'll be posting a gorgeous Michelle Perkett Mermaid in a couple hours. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the new Teddy Bo's! I have another one colored up and ready to put together to post later this week too.

Good morning ladies! (And Mr. Crafty!-LOL) I'm here with my DT card for Challenge #7 from
The Hodge Podge Shop! We had some much needed time off and are refreshed and ready for action! I'd also like to welcome Fae back to our team. She's had some emergency surgeries that came up during December and has been recovering. I'm so glad to have her back and feeling a bit better!
Today I've used "Sweet Wildflowers". I put just a hint of green on it. It's a beautiful image all on it's own. I accented it with double ribbons from RRR on the side. I also added a Prima flower and pretty butterfly from my My Creative Scrapbook kit. I added some faux stitching just to break up the layers a bit. Hope you enjoy it!
This Challenge will run until Feb. 9th, so you have plenty of time to join in. We'd sure love to see you. Why not try a Hodge Podge Shop image this week and support Shelley as she gets her business off the ground!
Warm and happy thoughts!
Jen

I woke up to snow today! I'm tellin ya this weather is just CRAZY! Here in the south we don't usually get snow till later. Weatherman is saying it's gonna warm up and then hit again on Monday. Yeeps!
I started out putting together my card for The Hodge Podge this week and ended up with this one instead. LOL Does that ever happen to you? Of course, I also finished my other card too. Sometimes, or rather almost always for me, one idea blossoms into another. I guess that's what creativity is all about. Right ladies?!? So I used my new embossing folder and it's so pretty I just couldn't bring myself to cover it up. So I added some gems for some sparkle too. And I had this ruffley ribbon that is so gorgeous and matched my flowers perfectly. I decided to double up on my bows and add my pretty flower. So here's what I ended up! Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Hump Day! I bet most of you are busy in your kitchen either getting things ready for a houseful or making your "dish" to take mom's or gram's or whomever you're sharing the holiday with. Those of you that aren't in the US, I send lots of blessing your way!
I have a quick post this morning before I head to the kitchen to finish the dishes I can do a day ahead of time. We're deep frying our turkey this year, something different. I have to cook a ham too because half the house doesn't like turkey. Who'da thought?!? Oh well, more for me. And there are so many wonderful leftover recipes.
So here's my
Pixie Dust Studio's "April" pixie dressed up for her Safari vacation. I actually tried my hand at paper piecing for the very first time. Critics are welcome and encouraged! The sketch is from
Midnight Madness, who is having a GREAT sale this week. Well, there you go short, sweet and to the point.
Question: Is anyone else having problems linking pictures? Sometimes it's taking 3 or 4 tries before it accepts it? Just curious if it's me or the system.

Happy baking!
This is my second post for today so I'll keep it short. This is "Goody Gumdrops" from
Pixie Dust Studio. I had the perfect paper for it too. It was a tough challenge cause Pixie Dust is mostly cutesy girly stuff, but I think this one works. Hope you enjoy it!
Recipe:
Paper - Martha Stewart - Frosty Gingerbread
Stamp image - Whimsy Stamps (calendar)
Ribbon - stash
Embellishments - Stickles, Prismas, Martha Stewart Glitter

I used this sweet image from Pixie Dust Studios called "Autumn Grace". I decided to color her in shades of pink. The challenge at Pixie was to do a sweet baby card. I chose a sentiment from a friendship set I got a long time ago that reads "The first man a little girl falls in love iwth is her dad." I just love that saying. I love my dad more than anything and it's so true! I followed the sketch at Midnight Madness. Loved it. I added the little butterfly and a swirl stamp and then glittered it just to add some sparkles. The papers are basic grey from one of my favorite collections, Eva. I'm really trying to use my scraps to a little something the insides of all my cards as well. So here's what I did with this one. I just used two pieces of scrap papers layered them and punched some tiny hearts then used the punched hearts to add a little design. And nothin went in the trash! Yay.
Don't forget that there is still time to enter the Hodge Podge Challenge. You can find it here! I have another post in the works but I'm having problems getting my pic's to upload. Hopefully it will be up soon!
Thanks for stoppin by I read every one of your comments and they mean so much to me. Especially since I can't get out and about!!
Hugs -
Jen
