The Russians know how to.



At least, one Russian does.

Papertake Weekly challenge

Happy Tuesday! It's time for a new challenge from Papertake Weekly. This week is a sketch challenge by the very talented Dawny, and this week we are being sponsored by Lily Boo's Boutique who so graciously supplied the designers with some fabulous stamps to use ! The stamps are soooo cute and worked perfectly with this sketch! I colored mine with Copic markers, and also used some Smooch and atyou spica pens. The polka dot paper is digital and the bottom green striped paper is Daisy D's. Added a pretty silk ribbon from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. I used a couple different Martha Stewart border punches, and that completed this card. Please be sure and visit Papertake Weekly to see the rest of the fabulous creations from the design team, and then we'd love it if you'd join us in the fun! Thanks for stopping by to see me today and hope to see you back again soon! HUGS!

Get off! Get off! Get off!

I have talked before about my paranoia of all things rodent-like (have you checked out the rat below?) Anyway, the guy in this YouTube clip feels about lizards pretty much the way I feel about rats.

Just because I can.

Yes, I admit, I have been hanging around at Awkward Family Photo again. Which is how I found this happy couple. Whaddaya reckon? They got a two-for-one deal and Great Auntie Nora is in the casket?

A new chilly Bitten By The Bug challenge - a cute penguin

There's change in the air, and not just the seasons! We're changing things up a little bit over at Bitten By The Bug, so be sure and visit to see what is going on! This week, we received an awesome challenge from Carla! She asked us to use this adorable little penguin from the Joys of the Season cartridge. I saw this paper from Basic Grey's Eskimo Kisses line, and knew I would have to make a pink penguin! What do you think? The card base is cut from Bazzil cardstock and the PP is Basic Grey. The ribbons are Offray and the snowflakes and "let it snow" cut are both from the Winter Woodland cartridge. I used a couple dew drops for her eyes and shaded her tummy with copic markers. Added some machine stitching and one more Christmas card is done! YAY!

So be sure and visit Bitten By The Bug to check everything out and see all the wonderful projects the designers have come up with this week. I've been able to take a peek, and you will NOT be disappointed! Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see your tomorrow for the Papertake Weekly challenge! HUGS!
