Sunshine!

Good morning, SUNSHINE!

I have received several "awards" over the past couple of years but I have been really bad about passing them on. I mean to get online and pass them on but a day or two passes and before you know it, a month or two has gone by! BIG thanks to all who have passed one this way. I really enjoy receiving them and will do my very best from here on out to pass them on!

With that said, I wanted to share this award with a few friends that I received from my dear friend and talented crafter, Michelle VanWiggeren.


This award has a few rules attached to it:

1) Put the award on your Blog
2) Pass the award on to other bloggers who bring sunshine into your life
3) Link the Nominees in your post
4) Let them know you nominated them by leaving a comment on their blog
5) Share the love and link to the person who gave you the award



Here's my SUNSHINE LIST:
I'm sending this award to these blogs because they always inspire me and bring sunshine to my day!

Michelle VanWiggeren (Thank you for the award!)
Jana Weaver (I know you received this from Michelle but I wanted to put you on "The List") ;)


I would include everyone I can think of but then who would you be able to send to? Must leave some room for everyone to play. :)

Chi Chi Memories Challenge #1

This is my second post for the day!
Please click HERE for the NEW Fashionista Digi Release from Pink Cat Studio!


Hi everyone! Every Thursday, Natalie will have a new challenge for all you Chi Chi peeps!

Today, we are kicking things off with a sketch challenge!
It's Natalie's first time putting a sketch together and I think she did a FABULOUS job with it!



For the deets, please hop over to the Chi Chi Community HERE.

Ooh La La! NEW Fashionista Digis from Pink Cat Studio!

Hi everyone! I hope that you are all having a wonderful week!
I have a new release from Pink Cat Studio to share with you!


These stylish critters are Melissa's latest and this week's FASHIONISTA Release.
I love their hats and purses.
My sample for this week's release looks like a little purse boutique. I didn't set out to do this. It must be because I have been looking high and low for that perfect purse. I finally found a few that I like from Louis Vuitton but the ones I like run from $650 to $2880. YIKES!!
Maybe for my big birthday next year? ;)





You can purchase the new digis HERE.

Now hop on over to Pink Cat Studio.
You have to check out what the other Design Team members have come up with! The cards and projects are all fabulous!!

Frances is hosting this week's 100th challenge, which is to create a tag and to use polka dots anywhere on the tag. It can be polka dot designer paper, embossing the dots, polka dot ribbon, polka dot embellishments... you get the idea. :)


The stamps that the design team are using on this week's cards /projects are: “Penny For Your Thoughts” and “Sassy Shoes”. I used one of the Prettie shoes from "Sassy Shoes" for my polka-dot tag.










So now that you've seen my TAG... it's YOUR turn!
Tag... you're it!


Come play along with us!
