Charlie and Charliene Digi Release

I have some really exciting news for all of you today. Clear Dollar Stamps is releasing 20 (that's right - 20) digital stamp sets of Charlie and Charliene! How fun is that! I have used two of the sets for cards to show you. For the first card I used the set "Charlie Tweens". This set is just too cute! You will receive a Charlie and a Charliene. Because they are tweens you will also receive a backpack, cell phone, and MP3 player. Plus, all kinds of fun teen sentiments. This is a must set for the teen year cards.

For the next card I have to show you I used the digital set "Charlie Sledding". Our Iowa winters are perfect for sledding so I knew I loved this set from the start. Although when I go sledding I must say we never have seen anything like the picture on the card below. =)
If you would like to see what the other design team members have made with some of the sets you just need to hop on over to the Clearly iStamp blog. Have a wonderful rest of the week!

Life's better with more marshmallows!

Do you need some more marshmallows today? Well, I'm sure these adorable little ants from Doodle Pantry would be happy to come on over. The first time I saw this stamp set, Cocoa Ants, I just smiled.

Anything Goes at the Send A Smile 4 Kids Challenge

Happy Saturday! Today we have another challenge starting at Send A Smile 4 Kids. Yeah!! This challenge is - Anything Goes. But, remember this is a kid friendly blog. Below is my card. I used an image from Saturated Canary. How cute is this little guy. I had to chuckle when I was coloring him. He matches - that was not at all how my boys looked when they were playing outside. They would wear whatever hat, whatever mittens, and whatever scarf that was closest to grab. They always had several hats, mittens, gloves, and scarfs because when they would come back inside they were all wet with snow. So things would have to dry out in front of the fridge on the floor. =) Love fun memories!!

This challenge we are having four different sponsors. There are lots of prizes to win. So come on over and join in the Anything Goes for Kids fun! We can't wait to see what you make!

Wine Bottle Cover

I saw this project and just had to give it a try. We are not much of wine drinkers so this is a bottle of non-alcoholic wine. =) The stamp set I used is from Doodle Pantry. The set is called Flaming Hot Ants. I thought this would be so cute on a bottle of some kind of cinnamon drink but we didn't have anything like that. =)

Below is the heart on the front of the bottle close up. These ants are just adorable! They are in love.
These are the challenges I am entering this project into:

Card Makin' Mamas - Anything goes

Crafty Ann's - Love is in the air

Poodles Parlour - Anything goes

New sketch at Sketches by Carly!

Are you ready for another fun sketch? Well, we are ready to show you another fun one from Carly! I am so excited to be on the Sketches by Carly design team because I think Carly creates the best sketches around!!! This challenge won't let you down! Our sponsor this challenge is Di's Digi Downloads. I didn't have a stamp from them for I choose one of Carly's own stamps.

Come on over and join in the fun this challenge at Sketches by Carly! You will be glad you did! Have a great weekend. We are supposed to have some nice weather and I'm looking forward to it!

New Digital Stamps at Digital Delights

Oh Goodness Crafters! Can you believe how totally adorable this new digital stamp is from Digital Delights?!? He is just the sweetest little boy ever! Today is the day that Digital Delights are releasing the new stamps! I just love these days. The stamp I received to show you is called "Praying Boy" and the sentiment is from the "Bedtime Prayers Sentiment Set". This adorable praying boy also has a praying sister. She is so sweet also!

I always loved my boys in footie pj's and because of that I just loved coloring these. Remember the smell of freshly bathed kids in their jamers - nothing like it! =) To see all the new sets that are being released today hop on over the Digital Delights by Louby Loo. The release is not only praying kids but it is also a Valentines release. Have a Happy Groundhog's Day!

Digital Release Day for Doodle Pantry!

Yeah!! It's digi release day for Doodle Pantry. You are totally going to love all the sets this month! Well, I love them all. =) The set I get to show you is called "Football Helmet". Now, remember this is an American company so our "Football" is different than the rest of the world "Football". In my house we have two Kansas City Chief football fans and one Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan. This set is just too cool! The football helmet comes plain or in color. I went on the Kansas City Chiefs website to see how their helmets look. This is as close as I will ever get but when I showed my husband I got a "Wow, that's really cool".

So give it your best shot. Go to your teams website and see what you can do for your biggest football fan. Oh, yeah the football and sentiment also comes with the set. If you know anything about American football and what is going on this coming weekend you will understand why this is the sentiment that was perfect for the Chiefs season this year. =) No championship, no playoffs, no super bowl this year for our team. That's ok we are still huge fans! Now to see all the great sets being released this month go to the Doodle Pantry website and start falling in love!
