Only one more day...

Don't forget that Sugar Creek Hollow is having their Grand Opening tomorrow!! Free digis tomorrow for every $10 purchased, and the $50 gift certificate is still up for grabs! The above digital stamps could be yours!!

Just a quick post today...see you tomorrow for the hop!!

It's a sketch for Sugar Creek Hollow!!

Welcome to the first ever challenge from Sugar Creek Hollow! It is a wonderful sketch that we were given to follow, and I had a lot of fun with it because it holds so many possibilities! I actually used the Friday Freebie from last week that Tracy so graciously gives away on the Sugar Creek Hollow website.

You don't want to miss Monday, March 1st at Sugar Creek Hollow! There are major freebies with your order--a free digi with every $10 you order. And, this is the most amazing thing about the Grand Opening--

All proceeds from our Grand Opening Sales will be donated to Tree of Life Ministries to help feed the hungry of our city. Won't you join us in making this a GRAND event,and by doing so you are putting food in little children's bellies that may otherwise not have anything to eat. Tracy is very much a part of giving back to her community by giving of not only her money but of her time and energy. I'm truly humbled by her work.

I'd love for you check out what the other talented SCH ladies are up to with this sketch:

Sugar Creek Hollow and Midnight Madness

Just a quick note to let you know that the Grand Opening of Sugar Creek Hollow is coming on March 1st, and there are some amazing surprises and a blog hop coming that day!! The images in my card are both from Sugar Creek Hollow, which is a faith-based digital stamp company that specializes in vintage and primitive images. They are a lot of fun to work with, and I've been able to tap into another side of my creativity.

Today's card is for the Midnight Madness sketch #42 (MMSC42)...a fun sketch that I actually simplified a bit. The papers are from that amazingly inexpensive and huge scrapbooking kit by Cosmo Cricket at Tuesday Morning...very fun!

Got to run for now...a million things to do at the moment!

FBW98 Ambassadors from Heaven

Thank you all so much for participating in last week's Flutter By Wednesday challenge...we had such awesome entries to win the wonderful prize from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design!! It was so fun to visit blogs!!

Spread Your Wings and Fly!

Happy Monday! Happy Monday! Happy monday! happy monday. Who am I kidding? It's Monday; it's cold; it's raining. There is a reason that there is a song titled, "Rainy Days and Mondays." It was especially bittersweet because we had a beautiful day yesterday (high in the upper 60s), and we were outside for much of the day.

However, I'm trying to make the most of it! Today's card is a mixture of challenges with a new set of stamps that I bought on the BST forum on SCS...love that place!

I Found some CUTE new stamps!!

It's a beautiful day here in Charlotte, North Carolina! There is actually sunshine, and it isn't freezing. Even better, I have some new stamps to play with, and I have been having fun with these little cuties! This adorable set of clear stamps is called Fairy Tots by Clear Magic Stamps for WoodwareUSA. Peggy, who owns a local stamp/scrapbook store, had this little set the other night, and I snagged it! I didn't even hesitate! The crazy thing is...the address for Woodware USA is in Charlotte, NC. How did I not know about these little cuties? Luckily, Peggy is going to carry them in her store, Southern Scrapbooks, so I can feed my latest addiction.

I have done this card for a few challenges:
