Sassy Cheryl's #164 April Showers...


Dawn is our Sassy Cheryl's hostess this week and the theme is April Showers Bring May Flowers!  Very appropriate as it is raining as I write this post!  I used cutie patootie Charlie for this week's challenge.  I colored her with Copics. and embellished with a few flowers because, well, May is coming, sooner rather than later!  Actually, the flowers ARE blooming and the pollen is thick  The rain is welcome to wash some of that yellow stuff away!

I hope you join us this week for the Sassy Cheryl's challenge.  Remember to use one of Cheryl's oh, so wonderful images.  If your a fan of "rubbah", Cheryl offers some of her images in red rubber now.  Mine just arrived, and I can't wait to ink them up!

The store can be found HERE.

Sassy Cheryl's: #163 Monochromatic


Sassy Dawn is our hostess for the Sassy Cheryl's challenge this week.  She wants us to do a monochromatic.  I tried GREY.  I did cheat just a bit...used my E's for her little face-grey would have been deadly!  

I used a My Mind's Eye pad: Meadow Lark, and colored with Copics.

Sassy Cheryl's: #161 Anything Goes...



Our hostess this week at Sassy Cheryl's is Jackie and she says, "Heaven knows, anything goes!"  Sweet freedom...do what you enjoy and use a Sassy Cheryl's image!  What could be easier then that?!

This one is pretty simple---I tend to do simple.  I colored with Copics and used a few punches, some twine, mini staples...yup, pretty simple.

I was on a roll.  That happens sometimes, so...


AND...


Three different cards, all using the same image...fun, huh?!

So, I do hope you'll join us this week for the Sassy Cheryl's challenge.

Sassy Cheryls: #160 A Sketch


This week, Mz. Sassy Judy is our hostess over at Sassy Cheryl's.  She has provided us with a terrific sketch!  Just use on of Sassy Cheryl's fabulous images, color it up and pop it in!

This is the sketch.  I really like it :-)

If you follow Sassy Cheryl, you know she has just introduced some rubber stamps.  The above image comes as a digi, and is now available in rubber!  I preordered mine!  As much as I love digs, there is something quite gratifying about using rubber.

I'm trying to finish my cards-yeah, I know...novel concept!  Seriously, in the past, I didn't always finish the inside, just slapped it on a card...but, I've decided to step it up.  This image also came with these cutie patootie birds...how cute are they?!


I hope you will join us this week for the Sassy Cheryl's challenge!
