Furry Friends....

Well, hello everyone!!

I feel like its been awhile since I was here last with Stuck On U Sketches (SOUS)!

I missed the last challenge (Disney) because I have absolutely no cartridges or die-cuts that I could make work...sometimes, well....you can't win them all!

Anyways, this challenge was a fun one!

I made two cards (to make up for my missed one...lol...actually just because I was having fun with it). 

I got into the masculine card mode..which I like to take advantage of because mostly I do girly cards...

So a bit about the challenge first...

This week the challenge was Furry Friends.

Be sure to check out the SOUS blog and all the fantastic designs from the Design Team....

AND how you can play along with us!! 

We really love to see what you create too!

Unity Thursday...

Hi everyone!

Hope today find's everyone having a happy summer!!!

Well, I have unhappily acquired a summer cold.....

seriously they should NOT be allowed to happen in summer....

there are far too many fun things to do this time of year! 

I had to miss paddle boarding last night....

being on the water is one of my favorite things to do...

so I was bummed! 

Anyways...you'd think that meant more time inside for creating! YAY! 

But no such luck, my head was so stuffed up, I had the aches and the chills....

ok, enough whining! 

My point is that I am "cheating" a wee bit and showing off my card from the Inspiration Wednesday post I did yesterday...

hopefully not too many of you have seen it?

So here it is....

In love with this stamp??? It's part of the fabulous June 2013 KOM.

{love the little things}
