Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge-Flowers and Lace and DT call

Hello!
I can hardly believe that it's actually been a whole year since
I have had the pleasure of creating a card!
This card is for the Fussy and Fancy Challenge that I am hosting!
The challenge is
I used this adorable



I colored this Sassy Birthday Girl with copics.
Then I had fun adding the last bit of my favorite lace
and from there I went a little crazy with the flowers!
When I was adding some crystal effects to the cake,
I accidently dropped a glob of it on the card and ended
up adding some translucent confetti to cover it up!

I am looking for one or two new 
Fussy and Fancy Girls for my
Fussy and Fancy Challenge Blog!

If you are interested in being considered, simply add a DT after your
name when you enter a card and e-mail me at
fussyandfancy@hotmail.co.uk
with your blog link.

I hope to create a lot more cards in the very near future!
I really do find it so very relaxing!
Thank you for visiting!

Digi's for Debbie Fundraiser!



Good morning and welcome to the Digis for Debbie Fundraiser Blog Hop.  Recently, we learned that Mrs. Debbie Lynch, the beautiful and loving mother of Heather Dennis, owner of Fresh Brewed Designs, was diagnosed with a rare form of uterine cancer.  As most of you may know, cancer related medical costs can be quite expensive, and Mrs. Debbie currently has no medical insurance, which makes the cost significantly higher.  Therefore, we have decided to help raise enough money to cover these medical expenses, as well as aftercare expenses, by creating a digi shop.  All the proceeds of the Digis for Debbie Fundraiser Shop and the Fresh Brewed Designs Store will go directly to Mrs. Debbie to fund her lifesaving surgery and the aftercare necessary to bring her back to wellness.  Furthermore, Heather has created a Give Forward account to assist her mother. 

If you would like to help, please stop by the
and/or the Give Forward Account. 

For those of you who are not able to contribute monetarily, we would love for you to add Mrs. Debbie to your prayer list.  If there is one thing we know, prayers can work miracles that money cannot and healing and wellness is what we are praying to receive.

The hop launches today, Tuesday, July 14th on the Fresh Brewed Designs Challenge Blog, and will run until Tuesday, July 28th @ 11:59 PM Eastern Time.  All participants can be found in the linkies section of *this post on the Fresh Brewed Designs Challenge Blog, and we would love to have you join us!  We do ask that you use a digi from the Digis for Debbie Fundraiser Shop or the Fresh Brewed Designs Store, and the theme is Anything Goes, and you can enter as often as you would like.  Two prize packages will be awarded, one prize for a digi purchaser and one prize for a blog hop participant.  Winners will be chosen on Saturday, August 1st.  The prizes will consist of stamps, papers, ribbon, embellishments, etc.; plus, some random prizes will be offered by some generous blog hop participants along the hop.
  
 I enjoyed creating with the digi
All Smiles
(Debbie with granddaughter, Hannah)
created by Carolyn Bounds
You can purchase this digi at the store here
 I love this digi and the pretty flowers in their hair
inspired me to surround them with flowers
in tropical colors!
 
 
Thank you for dropping by and for helping us with our fundraising efforts; and again, we ask that you keep Mrs. Debbie in your prayers.  Have a wonderful Tuesday, crafty friends!  We look forward to admiring your creations! :) 

Warmest Hugs,
Sheryl

We are experiencing lovely Spring weather.
periods of rain followed by beautiful sunshine.
Simply lovely.
Now for my reality.
As most of you know, I run a childcare/preschool.
Well, my poor little sweeties have been getting sick
with the horrible vomiting bug! 
I was up late last night lysoling and cleaning everything
in sight after another poor precious was sick everywhere
here at my house. 
I am praying really hard that nobody else catches it.
It's a really nasty bug.
I thought now that Spring is here, we weren't supposed to
have anymore sickness!  Boo!
Ok, Enough whining!
 
Today we have a fun color combo Challenge 
 
 
 

I have created with Heather's
Dotty Cupcake
Using Coral, lime and sand

I had so much fun adding pearls over the dots
and putting a crystal effects glaze over the frosting
and on the glass dish.

yesterday on St. Patrick's Day!

hail and it wasn't long before we had crazy swirling snow!
The cold temperatures are back!
 
Let's think SPRING!

Come and play along with Freshly Brewed Challenges, "Animal" Challenge

Hello and Happy Wednesday!
I hope that all of you are doing well.
For those of us that are living in the North East, we have been
dealing with one snowstorm after another, hurricane winds,
 sub zero temperatures
and the horrific ice damns.
My husband spent all weekend up on ladders and on our roof shoveling snow
and chipping away at thick ice that was trapping snow and water on our roof.
The water gets trapped and finds a way inside your house.
It drips down your walls and soaks your white ceilings, staining them-yellow.
At this point, I don't think we will see any green grass until May!
There is just so much snow to melt!
 
On a good note, I got to enjoy making another card!
 
 
Freshly Brewed Challenges has a brand new
Animal Challenge
starting today!
 
Here is my card using
Fresh Brewed Designs
Digi Stamp Bubbles Monkey
 
 
Isn't Bubbles Monkey adorable?  I just love her!
She is really fun to color up too.
 

 
What a fun challenge!  Heather has lots of adorable monkeys in
her shop to choose from, if you like.
 
Let's pop on over to the
 
to see what my teamies, Sally and Desiree have created for our
Animals challenge.
 
Thank you for visiting!
I hope that you have a wonderful day!
