Sugar Bowl Challenge # 46....

Hi friends...I just got back from a conference in Chicago...it was such fun...Chicago is an amazing city...especially if you're a "foodie"! My sweet hubby and I ate at some of the most amazing restaurants while we were there...my fave was a place named "Tru". We had a 9-course meal...little tastes of all kinds of spectacular goodies...PLUS we had "pre-dessert", "dessert", and then "after dessert" sweeties!! Yum! Oh, and speaking of sweeties...here's my first card created in my new role as a "Sweetie" DT member for The Sugar Bowl Challenge!! Challenge # 46 is Marlene's sketch and theme..."for the boys"!
Now, I know, boy cards can sometimes be challenging...but get this, the prize (chosen by random drawing) is uber fab!!

* a 6-stamp pick'n'mix of Sugar Nellie Stamps (wait til you see some of their new, seriously irresistable Simply Sassy stamps HERE)

AND

* a set of Spellbinders "Eyelet Sqaures" Nestabilities!!

So you definitely do NOT want to miss this Sugar Bowl challenge!!You can find more info on this challenge HERE. I had such fun with this little Sugar Nellie image by Diane Duda called "Puppy Dog Tails". I think he's kinda cute!! You can get him HERE.
