Baking Bear

Good morning! Well, it is Wednesday! Only two more days 'til Friday...who's got fun plans this weekend?

Today I'd like to introduce you to a super cute bear named Baking Bear. I can almost smell the brownies (that is what he is baking...I'm sure of it!) baking when I look at this little guy! Anyway, Baking Bear is from Clear Dollar Stamps and he was just released on June 15th. (Yes, we do have a new release coming up here in 9 days! I hope you are ready!) My card layout is the Sweet Sunday Sketch for this week.

Did you see that there is a new challenge that went up on the Clear Dollar Stamps blog? Well, this challenge is to use punches, die cuts, or cut outs. CDS has a nice selection of SVG's HERE or you could try some of their dies HERE. There are LOTS of prizes for this challenge so make sure you check it out HERE!

Alright, well...you just have a super day! It is supposed to be 93 degrees here today...whew!

Peacock Birdie

Good morning my crafty friends! I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July! We had a fun time with friends at a bbq and then enjoyed the fireworks later in the evening. Fun!

Today is New Release Day at Doodle Pantry so I'm here to share with you a super cute new release called Peacock Birdie. I, once again, chose to use the pre-colored birdie and used all three of the patterned papers that come in this set to make my card. There are three sentiments in this set and I used the 'Strut your stuff' sentiment as I made this card for a friend who has been working hard at loosing weight and is almost to her goal. She will definitely need to strut her stuff!

All of today's NEW RELEASES are just amazing so make sure that you head on over to the store to see them all! Don't forget to check out what my design team sisters made with their sets. Just click on their names in my side bar!

Doodle Pantry has their challenge for today up and all you need to do is use a Doodle Pantry image to enter. Just for participating you will receive the outline version of the set I used and you'll also be in the running to receive a $15 gift certificate from Doodle Pantry! The store has several freebies so why not play along?

Well, I hope your day is wonderful! See ya soon!

Happy 4th!

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Grill Favor

Good morning all! Well, VBS is over and that should allow me more crafting time so expect to see more on my blog this week!

Today I'm showing you a Barbeque Grill Favor Box that I made for Todd...just 'cuz. This is an SVG from Clear Dollar Stamps. I just loved it when I first saw it but the lid looked a bit intimidating but I think this turned out great and more important I think Todd liked it!

The image to the left is with the grill open. Todd loves butterscotch discs so I got some of those for him and filled his grill up with them. This absolutely would have been a fun item to make for Father's Day. Slip a gift card and some candies in for a birthday, too. Fun stuff for sure!

Well, I guess this is going to be a super short post but be sure to be checking back this week for more posts!
