Karen's Guest Post - Hogs & Sketches Challenge

My friend Karen made this fun card for the current Hambo Stamps Hogs & Sketches Challenge #10.  She does not have a blog yet, (I hope someday she does - she is super talented) so I am taking care of getting this bright card posted and submitted to the challenge.  Great Job Karen - thanks for playing!!

Maybe this explains it..........

This is a double duty card.  Crafty Secrets Challenge #138 is to make a "Thinking of You"card and then go one step more and ACTUALLY MAIL IT.  I love these "Domestic Goddess Creative Scraps" from Crafty Secrets.

The second challenge is a card sketch challenge on the PageMaps Blog sponsored by America Crafts Dear Lizzy & Helmar Adhesives (they also have a scrapbook sketch challenge I hope to create an entry for).  Just take a look at the fun sketch & prize package.... why not play along????

What are YOU in for?

This is my entry for the House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #78.  This was a sketch challenge to help Celebrate their two year Blog Anniversary - and the prize package is INCREDIBLE!! 

This was one of the first Gruffie images I ever got my hands on and it has been sitting in the stash for far too long!!  If you will notice - I even busted out the Cricut for this one.  There is still time...why not play along!!

Fairy Birthday Wishes

This is my card for this week's Flower Soft Challenge on SCS to make a Birthday Card and use Flower Soft on the project.  This card was inspired by this lovely card by Dini on SCS.

Stamp: Unknown - it is from my old ATC stash - if anyone knows the Company, please let me know!!

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.

Stamp: House Mouse - Beary Fast Sled
