CBCC #23, Friday Sketchers & A Spoon Full of Sugar!

Thank you to everyone who sent me well wishes! My migraine is gone! YAY! So without further ado here is my entry for this week's CBCC! I am also using this as my entry for this week's Friday Sketchers sketch challenge! Bea (from Megahobby) created a fabulous sketch to play with! You can see Bea's sketch HERE! And this also is my Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge which the theme this week is Love is in the air!

I used my beautiful WOJ Melinda Hugging Heart! I colored her with my Copics! I added Shimmerz Blingz hottie pink to the ribbon on the heart, and Blingz pixie dust to her wings! Used my nesties for the oval and scalloped oval behind Melinda. Then I took a white dolie and sprayed it with my Glimmer Mist in Pink Taffy and Iridescent Gold. I used my corner punches and swirl punches. DP is K&Co. Flowers, spacers, charm and ribbon are from my stash! Most of my supplies and tools were purchased from Wish On A Scrap.

Here is a close up so you can see the Shimmerz on Melinda's wings and the ribbon on her heart! If you look close you can see the shimmer on the swirls (leaves) by the flowers. I used Blingz Hottie Pink on the red swirls which made them look like a dark pink, and on the passion pink swirls I used my Blingz in Pink Poinsettia which gave them a real nice shimmer.

Then we have the finished inside. I used my Fiskars heart border punch....are you getting sick of seeing it yet? More K&Co. paper and some foam hearts for a little bit of spice!

I am off to read some more of my book for my Women in Literature class! We are reading The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood....it's not to terrible of a read either! Hope you all have a fabulous week! Don't forget to sign up for my blog candy if you haven't done so already!

Busy Week!

Wow, I can't believe how much running I have been doing this week! I don't like that because then there is hardly any craft time! Although I did get to buy some new Valentine supplies! Woo-Hoo! I am hoping to get some craft time in tomorrow and hopefully will have a special something to share with you all!

Kerry is giving away some awesome blog candy, and not just one prize....but she is giving goodies away to 3 people! What a very generous person Kerry is! Make sure you swing by to check it out!

Michelle is also giving away some great candy....which includes some Copics...head over to say hi to her!

I also want to give you the heads up that I am going to be having some Valentines Blog Candy coming up next week....or maybe even by this weekend! Make sure you stop back!

A VERY SPECIAL Blog Candy Alert

Don't know if you all have seen this yet or not! A sweet, baby girl named Francesca needs our help and in return you're will be entered to win a huge blog candy! You can find out all the details on Andrea's blog HERE. You can find the card that I sent HERE.

I got a lot of cards made today, but I have to get ready to head to my parent's house tonight! It's our immediate family's Christmas! YAY! So I will get some pictures uploaded for you tomorrow! Enjoy your evening!

And the WINNER is.......

Sorry for the delay! I knew I was supposed to post this yesterday; however, we needed a new desktop comptuer for our business, and hubby wanted to go and get it yesterday as we are getting hit with a big snowstorm today! So we were out computer shopping, and finishing up our christmas shopping, and by the time we got home I still have to hook up the new computer! Again, I am so sorry for the delay!!!!!

I first want to thank everyone who commented on my blog candy! Your sweet comments always make my day, and WOW I was truly amazed to see my counter reach over the 10,000 hits mark! That is so exciting to me! :) I think there may have to be some more candy given away after the new year just for that reason! So keep your eyes peeled after the holidays for that give away!

Without futhers ado......

The winner of the Christmas Candy Give Away is...................

More Alerts!

Sorry I haven't posted any new creations lately! I am busy studying my brains out! Finals are Monday and Wednesday for this girl! Eeekkk! Wish me luck...I want to do good....but always get stressed for exams! And it doesn't help having 3 on one day and 2 the next! It's hard enough studying for one exam at a time!

However, I did get a little blog hopping in and I want to let you all know about some yummy candies going on right now:

Karen is giving away some MEGA candy just like me....because it's Christmas time! YAY!

Dawny is celebrating her birthday and giving away some fun stuff! Make sure you swing on over and wish her a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Rica is giving away some awesome Basic Grey candy because she is on their DT! Hop on over and give her a Big Congrats for making the team!

Rosette is giving away some very cute candy!

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend! I am going to get back to studying! Maybe I can squeeze in a little play time tomorrow....I do promise to have some new creations for you the end of this week though....when I am FREE from school! Yippie! :)

Penguins in the House!!!

Penguins Galore!

Aren't these penguins the cutest thing you have ever seen?! I got this stamp from Walmart....you know the clear stamp sets you have hearing about that are only $2.97 right now! I just had to get these because they are so darn adorable! And they fit PERFECT on my square ornaments! I got the idea for these ornaments from Angie.....thanks Angie! I colored the images with my Copics (which you can get from Loreen over at Wish On A Scrap)!Paper used is a mixture....DCWV, Debbie Mumm, and scraps from my stash!
I think the snowflakes were a perfect touch for the back of the ornaments. I used my Martha snowflakes punches....added some glitter to the inside (which you can also get at the Wish Store)....added ribbon from my stash and a jingle bell....and they were complete!

Here's the penguin collection:
