"You Make Me Smile"

I'm running out of time quickly to get my cards done this week. Where has the time gone?!? Just to let you know my recipe's are pretty short because I'm trying to work just from my "stash" of this and that to get it used up. It's working better than I intended for it too. YAY!

This cute little image is from Squigglefly called "Funny Bunny". It's supposed to be a bunny in a cabbage, I believe. But the challenge this week at Squigglefly is to use "Beautiful Blooms" so I decided to make it into a rose. I just fell in love with this adorable image when I saw it. They also have new images out today. You can check it out here.

I used the sketch from The Sweet Stop for my card. Their challenge was to use the weekly sketch and add a tag somewhere. My sentiment is from Jen (great name by the way!), over at World Art World. She has a ton of freebies and some great word art to purchase as well.

I'm off. I've got a few things to do and then I'll be back to post my Kenny K's entry. WooHoo!!

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Wednesday All!

I made this card for the Jitterbuggin challenge and I just realized that you were supposed to use pastels. Oops! Well I'm gonna post it anyway.

Yesterday I celebrated 19 years with my wonderful hubby and I made this card for him. It hasn't been an easy 19 years, especially with my health and all that goes with it. My son Dennis was a miracle baby, as I wasn't supposed to have any children. My hubby has stood by me and loved me and taken care of me all these years and we are more in love today than we were that first night we met. He is my everything and I'm so grateful to God that he was placed in my path. He has a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone no matter their situation. Not only was I blessed with him but I gained his strong, faithful family as well. How could it get any better than that!?! No matter what God throws our way for obstacles we remain strong in our relationship knowing that our love will always see us through no matter where we are or what we're doing.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a blessed day.

BEE Happy!

Here's a cute little card I made for the Cricut Cardz Challenge # 33, just under the wire!! I really wanna start playing around with my Cricut and cartridges much more than I do. This challenge blog is a great way to get involved in that and see what wonderful inspiration is out there. Unfortunately I only have the older cartridges but I haven't even begun to explore what all they do. I just love this cute little bee from the Stentimental's cartridge and knew I had to make something from it. I used the card feature and then added the bee and sentiment. It was still kinda boring so I blinged it up just a little bit. I hope you enjoy it! Tomorrow I have to take a break from scrappin to can some tomatoe sauce and tomatoe juice.

My hubby took some of my salsa to work today and some of his co-workers offered to pay for me to make some! I guess that is a good recipe. I have tomatoes comin out my ears at the moment so that won't be a problem! LOL

Have a wonderful evening and thank you so much to those who have taken the time to leave a little message. It really keeps me going!

Love and Hugs - Jen

HELP! Please I'm Stuck.......

I'm trying to figure out a way to organize my challenges and be more productive. I would appreciate any input ya'll can give me on that. Do you use charts or lists, or what?!???? I spend so much time trying to organize that I don't get time to finish what I want to. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to answer this post!! They're will be a little surprise posted later this week for all that respond.

Have a happy Sunday!

Michelle's Donkey! (SSS64)

Hope everyone is enjoying their Friday evening. Please forgive my picture. I was having a hard time getting a clear image and then my batteries died and I don't have any more in the house. Boo. So, I had to use what I had taken.

This is the The Sweet Stop #64 Sketch Challenge. I love this image made by MelJen Designs, which are sold through Whimsy Stamps now. It was inspired for Michelle, a fellow scrap blogger that was seriously injured in an automobile accident. If you're in our "scrap" world you know who I mean. God Bless her and all she's been through.

I'm also entering this into Charisma Cardz Challenge #28 Think Pink!! I think this one covers that!!

Lastly, my cute little felt flower qualifies me to enter Paper Makeup for the Weekend Challenge #35. Woohoo

I used paper from my summer pack in pastels. I was following a couple of challenges when I started it but OOPS only made it into this one - he he. The border is a Martha Stewart Punch (she's teaming up with Cricut, did ya hear???). The flowers and ribbon are from my scrap stash! That stash is huge with mismatched stuff but at least I'm finding uses for it.

Well have a wonderful rest of the evening. I'm off to plan out some layouts and cards.

Big Hugs to all!
Jen

Celebrate! (MMSC#62)

Kenny K's Krafty Girlz has some amazing images and they are having their first ever challenge. The first challenge is PASTELS. So I decided to use this hippy chic image called Mad Skillz. It's my girlfriends birthday today and this totally fits her. I followed the sketch over at Midnight Madness's Sketch Challenge #62 (MMSC#62). They're sketches are always fantastic. This one was really easy just lots of layering. I used the glitz pack again. That pretty flower is Prima from my Swirlydoo's kits and some random ribbon. I hope you enjoy it and thanks for taking the time to leave me some love. I could really use it this week........

Flutter By Flora

Here's my Flutter By for this week. I'm so glad those girls are back from vacation! This image is from Mo's Digital Pencil Toocalled Baby Fairy Flora. Isn't she just the cutest little thang!! Everything else for the card is used from my scrap stash! I love it when that works out. Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Hugs - Ms. Jen
