4 CC #208 {Hey, Buddy!}

Happy "4 Crafty Chicks" Thursday!

4 CC #208 {Masculine}

I decided to color up my new-to-me digi from byLORi Designs called Puddle Jumper Scout :)

Isn't he just the cutest?! My designer paper is from a new BoBunny 6 x 6 pad called Lemonade Stand Collection....and my sentiment is from the Simply Said set from Paper Smooches! So fun! Be sure to visit the 4 Crafty Chicks BLOG and link up your masculine creation! Happy crafting!

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:

I have been enjoying a wonderful visit at Leanne's but alas, it's time to return home...the kids will be home from camp on Saturday and I have a lot of stuff I would like to do around the house while they are away. Thank you Leanne and Brian for everything! ♥

STS #14 {The Best Things in Life...}

Welcome back to my blog! If you are looking for my {PIN}spirational or Twisted Tuesday posts, please scroll down :)

Today at Seize the Sketch we have a brand new sketch for you to play with - and you have two weeks to share your creation with us - yay!! The design this week came compliments of our wonderful Amy:

 

I kept very true to the sketch this go-round...the only difference was my butterfly was moved over just a smidgen! Awesome sketch, Amy - it is one you can either leave very CAS or flair it up good!

I used some new-to-me papers from BoBunny called Pincushion Collection and one of my favorite sets from MFT - Vertical Greetings II. The butterfly was made with SU! punches :)

Do take some time to hop on over to the Seize the Sketch blog - the uber-talented Design Team has got some amazing creations for you to check out and then we cannot wait for you to link up your project using Amy's sketch! Happy crafting!!

Something New from 4 Crafty Chicks!!

Happy Thursday PEEPS! How was your Christmas? Ours was filled with wonderful friends and family and lots of fabulous dinners and get-togethers! My hubby, the kids and I have had a nice, relaxing week this week so far - but now I will be running around the house frantically getting everything ready for our New Year's Eve party here on Saturday night! I can't wait - will be a lot of fun celebrating with my Dad, baby sister Jackie and her family and my Aunt and Uncle....

Alrighty - onto this week's challenge from 4 Crafty Chicks! This is a Crazy Egg week as there are 5 Thursdays this month :) For this week's challenge, we want to see "Something New." It can be a new project (kit), embellishment, stamp, paper, spellbinder - you name it, you can use it - AS LONG AS IT'S NEW! 

It is my turn to offer the prize for this Crazy Egg Challenge and here is a picture of what one lucky participant (chosen by Random.org) will receive:

For my project, I made a chipboard picture album called Holly Jolly Christmas and it uses the Bo Bunny line called St. Nick....I had a lot of fun creating this album for someone special this holiday season! I hope you enjoy it too:

Please take some time to hop on over to the challenge blog site HERE and see what the other Chicks and our Guest Designer, Dee, have in store for you! Grab some cocoa, tea or coffee and sit for a spell and create with us this week...we'd love to see what "NEW" goodies you have to create with!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! CHEERS!!

Bo Bunny "Olivia" Card Kit

Good morning :) I have all of my Design Team obligations all done for the next 4 weeks, so now I can sit back, relax, and play for FUN (not saying DT work isn't fun, but this is just muckin' time now) hee hee....I was digging through some "stashes" that I have had hoarded for a while now and came across a couple card kits. This particular one, "Olivia," from Bo Bunny caught my eye due to the colors. So, I thought in between cleaning my house and doing school with the kids yesterday, I would whip these ones up....hope you enjoy them as much as I do! Later PEEPS!
