Sending Smiles to Bella

Good Morning!


This card post is about Bella Tucker. She is the corageous little girl that developed an infection around Easter and it resulted in her losing both her arms and legs. She is only 8 years old.

There is a blog hop for her and to help raise money for her family who really need all the help and support that they can get.
 
 

 

Here is the card that I created just for Bella. I will be sending it to her and I hope it makes her smile!

The blog hop starts over at Denise's blog..make sure you go on over there to view all the beautiful cards that have been created just for Bella.
 

This is the image Emma in the Candy Store from The Stamping Boutique... so sweet!

Very Merry!

Good Morning!!  I wanted to share a card that I made this morning.  I used one of the new Christmas Bobblehead images from Bugaboo Stamps to create a pocket card.  Isn't this little fella cute?!  It is always hard for me to make Christmas cards when it is hot out... but I was able to make it through!!  I wish I could be more motivated to work on Christmas items througout the year so I am not freaking out when Christmas is actually here!  I guess I just work better under pressure :)!  I hope you all have a great week!

Challenges for this card:

Daisy Doodles:  Recipe
The Pink Elephant:  Pocket Card
Bugaboo Stamps:  Christmas in July

Crafty Creations Make Your Own Button Challenge

Oh, my!  This post is so late.... totally thought I had posted this last night!!  Well better late than never I guess!!  This week at Crafty Creations we are challenging you to make your own button for your card or project.  I decided to use my new bitty buttons and bitty punches from SU! for my button creations.  I punched out some Basic Grey cardstock and then covered it with a bitty round button.  Easy Peasy!!  We hope you will join us this week!!  Be sure to stop by and see what the rest of the DT has waiting for you!  This card is also for The Great Outdoors Challenge at Dare U 2 DigiStamp this week.  I used this cute little cowboy from Bugaboo Stamps for the image and the Sentiment is from the Greeting Farm.

Just a Quick Little Post!!

Ahhh!  I just can't fall asleep tonight!  I was lucky enough to win the last Some Odd Girl Challenge and won Shy Mae!!  I decided to make a card for the current challenge on the SOG blog... Shapes All Over the Place.  This card is pretty simple, but I think it is kinda fun!!  If you haven't checked out the Some Odd Girl blog, you should head on over!!  It is lots of fun and the images are too cute!!  This week Fab 'n'Funky is looking for cards that are not square/rectangular... this is also for that challenge!!

Got to Have a Little R&R!!

We just got back from our mini-vaca to the lake.  It was such a great time.  The kids had so much fun swimming, fishing, watching fireworks, and boating.  I even had a chance to make some cards for some challenges!!  Woo hoo!  I hope everyone had a great holiday.... it is good to be back!!

This card is for the Bugaboo Love is in the Air Challenge

I just love the Bugaboo Sock Monkey Girls... too stinkin' cute!!

I used Cookie Hugabugg for the Meljen's RWB challenge, Digital Tuesday's RWB Challenge, and The Current RWB challenge at Oh, Alice!

This is for PaperTake Weekly's Stitching Challenge.  The sketch is last week's ICS sketch... didn't quite make it in time to enter!!  No internet access at the lake!
