Sulk Girl

2012-03-09T00:05:00.003-05:00

If you visited last Friday, you met Sulk Boy from Just Inklined. Today I am sharing with you another Just Inklined image, Sulk Girl, a very sad young girl, missing the true love of her life! It seems that our gal was busy planning the nuptials when suddenly her intended called off the wedding for the stupidest of reasons, he didn't want to share his toys! Although the sweet miss looks downtrodden, she's actually plotting her revenge!

Happy Birthday Sweet Friend

2012-03-08T00:05:00.001-05:00

I have a sweet friend that is just an incredible person and recently she had a birthday. My friend is very unassuming and always, always finds the very best in people to focus on. Because she is such a remarkable person, I wanted her card to be extra special.

Merle Molar

2012-03-07T00:05:00.001-05:00

Since it's the first Wednesday of the month, a new challenge starts today at Dude Time Doodles. The challenge is to use springtime hues of green. Spring for me always means a trip to the dentist and so I decided to use Merle Molar from Bonibleaux Designs and dress him up in green. For the most part, my dentist is a very nice person, except when he is hurting me which is pretty much each time I visit!

Stop at the Dude and the Dudettes' blogs and get inspired to use green! The winner will receive 3 Dude Time Doodles images!

A Bit Too Big

2012-03-06T00:05:00.001-05:00

I love the creative energy that flows through the mind of Monica Estill, one of the many talented artists at Squigglefly. A Bit Too Big is an example of how her mind works! I never in a million years would dream of bathing an elephant in a teacup but now that I see how it is done, it makes perfect sense and what a terrific way to conserve water! Not only is your elephant clean but your teacup is spotless with no more telltale stains when bathing is done.

Just Inklined's Blog Hop for March

2012-03-05T02:00:00.004-05:00

Welcome to Just Inklined's Blog Hop! I am pleased that I am hosting this month's hop and since it seems that everyone is sick of winter, I asked the design team to make a get well card, maybe for someone suffering from spring fever! For my card I used Just Inklined's Speed Demon and a sentiment wishing the recipient a speedy recovery. Next on the hop is to visit the incredibly talented Toni for more inspiration. Be sure you leave a comment along the hop for a chance to win an image from Just Inklined. One final note, there are still a few days remaining for Just Inklined's design team call. If you are interested please stop by here for all the details.

Spring Joy

2012-03-04T00:05:00.002-05:00

I don’t know about you but I’ve been thinking spring, spring, spring and so I was inspired to create Spring Joy. To make the card, I used black and embossed the image on a card made with Heavenly White cardstock. Using a die, I created a frame for the embossed image using the delicious Razzle Berry Pop Tone cardstock and finished it with ribbon, pearls, and a sentiment also embossed on Heavenly White cardstock. The cardstock and ribbon I used to create this card is from PaperTemptress.

Sexy Leprechaun

2012-03-03T00:05:00.009-05:00

So, it's a beautiful day and you decide to go for a walk in the woods. You are walking, walking, walking and wait, what is that you see? It's not moving, so you freeze in place because after all, it could be a bear. While you are standing there trying to keep your heart from beating out of your chest (after all a bear might eat you), you realize, with much relief, that it's not a bear. So you step closer, closer, thinking curiosity killed a cat but you can't help being nosey, and then you see a totally naked leprechaun sitting in a pot of gold and she turns her head and says to you, "Well what would you do with a pot of gold?" I personally, would first grab her underwear and as much gold as I could stuff in my empty backpack (I already drank the six pack) and then run as fast as I could home! Now I know you're wondering why I would swipe her underwear, the answer is simple, no respectable leprechaun would run through the woods naked, people would think she's nuts!

Sexy Leprechaun is by Fawn Palmer and is being released today at Squigglefly just in time for St. Patrick's Day!

Sulk Boy

2012-03-02T00:05:00.001-05:00

Poor lad, on St. Valentine's Day cupid's arrow shot him right in his heart. He fell head over heels in love with a sweet young miss that lives two blocks away. Already he has memorized her telephone number, knows her middle name, her favorite color and when her birthday is, not to mention that he has become best friends with her brother. However, typical of the female sex, she's now planning the wedding and Sulk Boy from Just Inklined just doesn't want to share his toys! *Sigh*, what's a guy to do?

Dog Martini

2012-03-01T00:05:00.002-05:00

When I first saw Dog Martini from Whimsie Doodles, I could not help but laugh and then, you know what happens next, yep, I was coloring it!

Dude Time Doodles Blog Leap

2012-02-28T22:00:00.003-05:00

In honor of Leap Day, Dude Time Doodles is hosting a Blog Leap to introduce you to their new townsfolk. If you've been participating you should have arrived here from Mags, our wonderful guest designer for the month. Since the leap is continuous just keep moving until you've seen them all and remember to leave a comment along the way for a chance to be a winner of a Dude Time Doodles image from the mystery host. I used Jon Jogger who running lightening fast away from work and into retirement! Now you should leap lightening fast to Dude Time Doodles!

MouseCat

2012-02-28T07:00:00.001-05:00

(

I am so excited, I have been invited to join the Can You Digi It design team! Can You Digi It recently open their store and they feature digital images and papers, clear stamps plus a host of other crafting goodies. They host a bi-weekly challenge on Tuesdays and the winner receives a $10 store coupon!

A new CYDI challenge starts today and to play along use Denim and Lace in your creation. I absolutely could not resist the cuteness of MouseCat sporting the latest fashion trend for cats, promising to attract more mice than traditional traps!

For more inspiration please visit the other IT Girls using the links on my sideboard, or if need be, the collage found below.

Cocktail Waitress

2012-02-27T07:00:00.001-05:00

Cocktail Waitress by Fawn Palmer was one of Saturday's new releases at Squiggllefly and I am sharing her with you to introduce you to the new challenge that starts today at Squigglefly. The challenge is being hosted by Holley's Hobbyists and the theme is Spring is in the Air! Show us what spring means to you, flowers blooming, children playing, gardening, Easter, Spring Break, St. Patrick's Day, or just being outside? Maybe spring to you means finally packing the Christmas decorations away. Show us some bright and beautiful cheer. As an extra task use some ribbon. So what does Cocktail Waitress have to do with spring? Well, she has a green apron for St. Patrick's Day. But first and foremost, sunshine! After all, "A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine -- except on a day without sunshine I can still drink my wine!" So go ahead, pour yourself a glass of sunshine and play along!

Ladybug Magnet Girl

2012-02-26T00:05:00.001-05:00

I really dislike when I get a new image and I cannot immediately post it but sometimes that happens and that is the case with today's card, Ladybug Magnet Girl from Sassy Cheryl's. But here she is with her promise that spring is just around the corner. I wish she could tell us how long the block might be until we get to the corner but we know its closer than yesterday!

Mother-in-law

2012-02-25T00:05:00.001-05:00

I love my children and their spouses and I certainly hope that they do not think I am a busybody, a chronic complainer or a buttinsky! But apparently there are some mother-in-laws that are and enjoy shaking their finger and finding fault or giving advice about everything such as Lynne Stansbery's version of Mother-in-law from Squigglefly! I am so thankful to be perfect!

Hell for Leather

2012-02-24T00:05:00.002-05:00

Keeping with yesterday's theme of road safety, Hell for Leather from Just Inklined is a great example of our male counterpart and his need for speed!

Speed Diva

2012-02-23T00:05:00.001-05:00

Women have totally unfounded bad reputations for our driving skills, ask any woman! We are very safe drivers as demonstrated with the help of Speed Diva by Suzanne Urban from Squigglefly! I mean really, wouldn't our hair get mussed speeding and of course, if we had to jam on our brakes, we might break a nail!

Placing the Stars

2012-02-22T00:05:00.003-05:00

When I saw Placing the Stars at A Day for Daisies, it was immediately mine! I tried several different papers, flowers, and swirls and decided the image was much to pretty and should be left as is without embellishment.

Another addiction!

2012-02-21T00:05:00.001-05:00

I recently watched with fascination the video Zenspirations Patterning Techniques by Joanne Fink on Sakura of America’s website. After watching the video I decided to try what I had learned. I printed a simple daisy stamp that I found in the dollar bin at one of the crafts store onto Heavenly White cardstock from PaperTemptress and using a black pen began making patterns and then spot colored it with gel pens. I mounted my creation on embossed Lemondrop Pop Tone cardstock, also from PaperTemptress, and added touches of glossy accents to finish the card. Now I have another addiction, doodling patterns!

Bees on a Caterpillar

2012-02-20T07:00:00.001-05:00

Another new challenge is starting today at Squigglefly. Team Rhonda's Rowdy Rascals are in charge of providing inspiration for you but since the challenge is to Use Yellow Somewhere On Your Card, I thought I would play along using Bees on a Caterpillar by Monica Estill from Squigglefly. So come on now, get out the yellow and play!

Workout Birdie

2012-02-19T00:05:00.001-05:00

The sweet little Workout Birdie from Doodle Pantry is definitely NOT me! Oh sure, I workout, I exercise my elbow each time I raise a fork, spoon or glass to my lips and I keep my thumbs in shape when I change channels on the remote. The closest I've ever been to a treadmill is walking pass them in a department store and of course, I'm always pushing my luck! But since dogs do need exercise, I take my beautiful goldens for a walk each day, all the way to the backdoor!

Puppy Needs Love

2012-02-18T00:05:00.001-05:00

Puppy Needs Love by Deena Perreault is one of the new images being released today at Squigglefly. How could anyone refuse to love this little guy?

Stop by and visit Squigglefly to see more of today's new releases!

Gardener's Delight

2012-02-17T00:05:00.000-05:00

Oh yes, I'm so ready for spring and in a little more than a month, it will be! Gardener's Delight from Just Inklined is an image that screams "spring" and for now, I must be satisfied with spring-like images because the weatherman is predicting snow!

Tea Pot Birdhouse

2012-02-16T08:00:00.001-05:00

Our weather lately feels more like spring, contradicting the infamous Punxatawney Phil's prediction on Groundhog Day's that we would have six more weeks of winter. Being encouraged by the clacking and clamoring of the birds, obviously sharing my enthusiasm for warmer weather, I used Tea Pot Birdhouse from Digi Doodle Shop to spark you into participating in the new Anything Goes Challenge that starts today. Team Ruth is hosting the challenge and it's a great way for you to share your talent and possibly win a $10.00 gift certificate from Digi Doodles Shop. Please visit my fellow teammates and then take advantage of the great sales going on at the store.

Hot Tub Harry

2012-02-15T00:05:00.004-05:00

Today's card features Hot Tub Harry, sitting in nice warm water, smiling as he creates his own "bubble" bath. Left to their own devices, men are so easily entertained! I used Harry, from Bonibleaux Designs, to inspire you to join the new challenge that starts today at Dude Time Doodles. Be sure to visit the Dude and the Dudettes for more inspiration and for all the details of the challenge, please visit Dude Time Doodles, but I will tell you that the winner will receive a $15 gift certificate from Stamp-by-Step, our sponsor for the challenge.

Unhappy Valentine

2012-02-14T00:05:00.001-05:00

As a youngster, I loved playing with paper dolls and decided to use Sassy Cheryl's image Unhappy Valentine to make my own.

Hope you have a wonderful

Valentine's Day!
