Beary Fast Sled ..................

The House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #77 is to "Make A Splash".  It may seem like I am straying a bit here - but my feeling is since snow is frozen water - I have technically complied with the challenge rules.  I knew I wanted to work with this image when I found this scrap of "October Afternoon - Very Merry" paper in my stash.

Come Play at Hogs & Sketches

I won last month's Hambo Stamps Hogs & Sketches Challenge and was awarded this GREAT prize:

I encourage everyone to play along this month.  The Hogs & Sketches Challenge #10 is another great sketch and this month they are allowing crafters to use stamped images from ANY Company.  One reason I ADORE Hambo Stamps is because they have the funniest saying and I have never heard a PUN I did not LOVE.

Beer Gardens at the Fair


This weeks challenge at the Cuttlebug Spot is to create a project with embossing that Celebrates State & County fairs.  Now at first this card may seem a little "unrelated", but in this part of the country Fairs often equal "Beer Gardens". 

I used my argyle embossing folder with Red/Black C'ordinations paper.  After  the paper was embossed I sanded it so the red shows through the black.

Wise Hedgies still seek him .................

Splitcoaststampers has a new member company "Flower Soft".  They are having a challenge this week to use your favorite Flower Soft Colors on a project.  The hedgie's hat is made with Polar White & Vintage Christmas Flower Soft. 

Flower Soft also is this weeks sponsor on Card Positioning Systems.  The layout seems simple enough, but boy did I find it challenging.
