Get Well Soon...

 Meljens Challenge this week was simple!  Use the length wise large business size card!  9.5 x 4 inch card!  Sounds simple - actually once I picked a sketch challenge - it was simple - I chose the Sketch Saturday challenge - it was simple! I actually liked it because sometimes I seem to fidget a lot with the smaller cards!  Too much to say and not enough time kinda thing!  I'm sure you all know what I mean!  With the longer card - I was able to say everything I wanted to say - I used my old "Fall stack" from Cloud 9 designs because the stack is longer.  I don't think it looks Halloweeney, do you?  Is Halloweeney a word??  Oh well, no spell check today! LOL!  I used my beloved Nesties and some bling and bamo!  Done!  Hope you enjoy - it'll be fun to send!

A Meljen bday

I decided to make this umbrella a birthday card - i think it's cute as can be - I used some bling on the label and the cheeks.  I was contemplating turning the umbrella straight up or caddy wampus!  As you can see - I stuck with caddy wampus - it's one of those things where you gotta just say - this is it!!  The debate in my mind was fierce!!  Tee Hee!!  Silly - it's just a card - but I like this digi from Meljens!  and I so love my new Spellbinders labels!  They are the cat's meow!!  Thanks again for popping in - gotta get my craft room cleaned up - having a baby shower tomorrow - which - i do have a card made.  My craft room is an open den like - so....I can leave it a disarray until I'm having people over - except for tonight - it's my bday today and I left it a mess - it's my bday and i'll make a mess if I want to - spent the whole day in my craft room!!  Then family for dinner and cake!!  What a day!

Catch the Wave!

This is the cutest little monkey!!  He's discovered the new year and has made a declaration.  This year was good but I sure could use a great year!  I just started a new business and survived my first year!  Let's keep charging ahead - Thanks to Bugaboo stamps for the digi!  I love him and his "set".  Go to Bugaboo stamps and check them out!!  Happy New Year!!

Not a Creature was Stirring.....

I think this guy is the cutest little critter!!  When I saw the phrase on another challenge (of which I was too late) -- I thought - I'm doing this one anyway!!  I thought he was the cutest thing and reminded me of the "not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse".  Anyway - I don't know that he's going anywhere soon.  He may be part of next year's stash.  He'll be fun to look at all year - get me a jump on next year -
