Fun in the Sun

It's a scorcher here in Charlotte with a heat index of close to 100 degrees. Here comes the heat, not my favorite time of the year, but I decided to make the best of it by hitting my craft room. Of course, I'm avoiding cleaning the house, but I can't be perfect!! And, I packed 7 challenges into this card...is that a record for me? It might be!!

Second Post for today...Danni's Bella Weekend Challenge

Danni inspired a few of us to use our Bella stamps this weekend! I have to admit that they have been collecting dust lately, but I picked up this little cutie when I was at my LSS last week, and I had to play with her and the new Sugar Rush paper from Basic Grey! She is adorable, and I forgot how quickly the coloring goes!! Hehe!! When I saw that Danni also did this sketch, I thought, wow, that's an awesome sketch from CCEE Stampers!!

Again, I used some challenges, and some are my second entry for them!

Blowing Kisses

Happy Saturday morning!! Saturday mornings are what I call my lazy mornings...I sleep in a bit, stay in my pajamas, and I have the house to myself for a couple of hours while Matt and Meredith go out for bagels and such. Peace in the house...love it! I had to finish up a couple of cards that I made yesterday so that I could post them today. I combined a lot of challenges on this one...I believe I may be slightly obsessed, but I thrive on a challenge.
