Teddy

This sweet little "Teddy" is the latest from Designed2Delight, it is free this week on the Delightful Inspiration blog. If you use it to make a card and link it up by Thursday night at midnight EST, you will get the next image free in you email Friday morning. So go get Teddy and join the fun!

I'm usually not a big bear lover, but I love the vintage style of this one. It looks warn and loved. It would make a great baby card, but since I didn't need one right now, I went with a more general theme.

I use the sketch from Card Patterns sketch #76 that was posted on Sunday. It was a great sketch, that I think I'll come back to again.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great week.

Verve Pansies

I try to do the Verve challenges on SCS every month, but don't always get them done. This one is from the VLVAUG2010 week 2 sketch. It is an inspiration challenge with the sketch, so I used the second photo they posted of a bedroom in purple, green and peachy yellow.

Going on a Bug Hunt!

This image from Designed2Delight called Bug Hunt totally makes me smile. It fit right in with the theme of the first VSN challenge on Friday night: Nature.

I'm not really an outdoorsy kind of girl, but my hubby and kids are. They were so captivated by a frog my hubby caught last weekend while mowing the lawn. Ewww, was my opinion. And I bet you can guess what I said when they wanted to keep it! LOL, no way. He was set free, I told them his mother probably missed him.

If you have a chance, check out this week's progressive challenge at Delightful Inspiration. And don't forget to drop by CDAC and see the challenge Designed2Delight is hosting, (it comes with a free image)!

Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop

If you are here for the Sassy Studio Designs Release Blog Hop, please scroll down to the next post.

Happy 3rd Anni-VERVE-sary to Verve! Welcome to the blog hop to celebrate. If you arrived from Angela's blog you are on the right track. If not, why don't you start at the beginning, Julee's blog (the owner of Verve). She has some important info regarding prizes, so you don't want to miss out! If you get lost any time along the way, you can refer to the Blog Hop Master List.

I love all my Verve stamps (and there are a lot to love in my collection, LOL)! But, I always say that no other company does sentiments as well as Verve, so I decided to use a sentiment as the focus of my card today. This one is from the Believe set. $10 from each sale of this set goes to the Susan G. Komen search for the cure. How cool is that? Such a powerful and lovely message here, this is one of my favorites! I used one of my favorite older MoJo Monday sketches for the layout (#103).

Happy Anni-VERVE-sary Julee and Verve! Wishing you continued success and many more Anni-VERVE-saries in the years to come!

Thanks so much for hopping along today! Your next stop is Cheri's blog.
