Hey Guys.

The Stamping Chef and Simply B Stamps had a Goddess challenge and offered these cuties for just a dollar.  They are both such generous and lovely women.  So I love to support them any way I can.  And I get some cute stamps too.

Thank you ladies for the awesome stamps.

I used Deconstructed Sketch for inspiration on card design.  If you haven’t seen her site check it out.  I use it all the time. At the top of her site click on deconstructed sketch and there are lists of sketches that you can use.

Good Morning!! Hope that this finds you enjoying your weekend.  I can’t believe that it is already the end of November.  Where has the year gone?

Today’s images are especially fun ones.  I love em.  Though I don’t know why anyone would want to shoot our sweet and loving Corinne with an arrow. (giggle)Nov challenge open

nov challenge frontI used a diamond gate fold that I found on Splitcoaststampers.  You can find the tutorial here.  (The small clothespins are just to hold the card closed for the photo.)

I used The Paper Studio Affinity papers.  The die is from Spellbinders Fantastic Flourish two.

For those that asked, the retreat was AWESOME!  I had such a good time.  Miss Betty was an amazing hostess.  The house was perfect, the jacuzzi warm and the wine was tasty.  Although it was not my most productive weekend, I met some fabulous gals that I hope to see again at the next one.

Jazzy sends a big hello!

Hugs,

Happy Monday!! I hope everyone’s week is off to a fabulous start.  I have been off elk hunting this last week and after logging many miles and some mechanical difficulties we managed to get an awesome elk. This hunt was much more challenging than I anticipated, but I guess what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger right?  LOL  This weekend was spent processing the meat into steaks and jerky.  I did manage to steal a couple of hours in my craft room. YEAH So I thought I better get this month’s challenge completed.

fortune teller bettyThe first is fortune teller Betty.  I thought this sentiment was funny!  ok I am a little off I know. Still makes me giggle.

Voodoo CorinneThe second is Voodoo Corinne, she is our fabulous administrator and we all pick on her.  Don’t you fret though, she gives as good as she gets.  She is always saying she is going to stick another pin in me.  (I don’t know why, I am ALWAYS  soo nice to her LMAO) so I thought this sentiment appropriate.  It says “Hey, Corinne, did you ever notice that your pincushion looks just like me..hmm?”

Well that is about it for now.  Thank you for visiting.

Hey there all my little blogger friends.  Is everyone ready for the 4th of July?  I am!  My  son is coming home for a week!  Can I get a whoop whoop!  We plan on doing some camping and fishing and in general staying high in the mountains away from the heat.  He is currently living in Yuma, Arizona where the temps are in the 110-120 (43-48 for my European friends) degrees daily so our mild 100 degrees should be a welcome change LOL.

Anyway, back to crafty stuff.  Today’s card is Summer by Simply B Stamps.  Every month Miss Betty gives us a free digi to use for a monthly challenge.  I LOVE this image!  The challenge was to make your own background, not stamped.  I used my alcohol inks to make the background and my Spellbinders Flourish 2  and EK Success Patterned Circles punch.

Hello all my little bloggy friends.  How are you all doing?  I am so sorry that it has been so long since we last chatted.  I struggled with a bad bout of bronchitis and then I went on vacation.  I will post some pictures from the trip for those that are interested.

But for now I have a fun little image from Simply Betty Stamps.  It is our monthly challenge and Betty was sweet enough to give us this sweet fairy to use. Here is what I did with her.

Have a great Memorial day weekend.  I hope you take a moment to honor those who gave and still give their lives for our country.

Hugs from Jazz and I.
