Rainy days and mondays...

Whew. What a blah, rainy, boring Monday. I HATE weather in TN sometimes.
K. Just had to get that off my chest. On to WAY cooler things! This week only, ALL doodle street images are buy 2 get 1 free! That's right! Today through Friday at midnight! Get em while they are hot!
Some instructions for those of you wanting to order: Put the two images or sets that you plan to buy in your cart and buy and pay. Message me and let me know which image you want for free and I will get it to you. There IS a sale option on shop handmade, but not a freebie option that I can tell. If I am wrong, fill me in! lol!

The fastest and easiest way that I know to print these images will be to open up a new Word document, choose insert, then picture, then from file, and then to resize hold down your shift key and then left click and drag the corner of your picture. Then you can copy and paste as many as you want to print.
Now, onto business. I managed, somehow, to do 3 challenges today, much to my snot nosed, toddler tornado's chagrin. Though, we did snuggle and read, he did have a great nap, and he has played very well, so I think, that all in all, the day went well.

This first card is for Mojo Monday. I LOVE the sketch, but I obviously fell short of the mark with this card...lets just say, the idea was GREAT in my head, LOL...LOVE the image, LOVE the paper, hate the card...but eh, it goes that way sometimes.

The image is from Doodle Street and can be purchased here. The papers were from my scrap stash. Umm...yeah. That pretty much sums this one up.
This next card is for Caardvarks. They are having a big challenge. 7 sketches in 7 days...I think. Anyway, I missed the first day, but this is a GREAT sketch! I was so inspired that I had to play! This is my first Caardvark experience!
This card was made with a Sarah Kay image that I got in a swap. The papers are from DCWV and were snatched from Heather T.'s stash of great paper stacks. This paper is GENIUS! The card basically made itself! The sentiment is from TAC. The felt flower was from American Craft.
This last card was made for Cupcake! I love their challenges and have missed getting to them the last couple of weeks! This week the challenge was "distressing". One of my FAVORITE things! I have missed it! I inked and roughed up the edges of the image, then for the 2 mat layers I used my nail file and scrubbed and distressed until I liked the look. The paper backgroub paper came distressed so it just begged to be used!

This one...was another card that made itself. The paper was all from scrap in my box. The image is a Happy Hopper that my friend Jenny stamped for me when she was here last week. I tried to do it justice and color it with some detail.
Hope this post at least made you smile! Enjoy! Hope to be visiting some other blogs soon! Don't forget to check out the Doodle Street sketch challenge, going on until the end of this week! Also, our DT call is still going on for those interested!
