Oops . . .

Happy Monday, my sweet friends! I hope you had a great weekend! Mine was filled with live jazz music (we went to a Jazz festival) and hanging out with my sweet hubby! We won't even mention the rain or the fact that there were no public restrooms . . . just creepy porta-potties! Ugh!! Now that you have that mental image burned into your brain . . . . Aaacck!!! Let's move on, shall we?!

So . . . guess what? It's August and I haven't even started on my Christmas cards! And today's Sugar Nellie DT project won't qualify as a Christmas card either! hehe! I'm still in a "Summer" frame of mind, I guess!

For today's card, I used one of my favorite Sugar Nellie stamps! I just realized, I say that a LOT! They're ALL my faves, I think! hehe! But I have always been especially fond of "Honey Pip." She's from the Sherbet Pip Collection of Home Grown Sugar Nellie Stamps . . . and is available HERE at Funky Kits.

This card is a belated birthday card . . . I made it for my art teacher whose birthday was last week! Aacck! Shame on me!! But I bet she'll like this . . . even tho it's a little late! Here's a bit of a side view . . .

Spring at the Sugar Bowl

Happy Thursday, my "Sugar" lovin' friends!! Welcome to my little corner of the world! It's Thursday, so that means it's time for another fun Sugar Bowl Challenge!! Challenge #79, to be exact. And our very talented Sugar Bowl DT Sweetie, Erika, has has come up with this clever little sketch for us to follow . . . .

And, our theme for this fortnight's challenge is . . .
  

SPRING!

Quite fitting, I should think, since the Daffodils and Dogwoods are starting to bloom here in Richmond, Virginia, USA! So, here's a little "taste" of Spring . . .

I chose this adorable little Sugar Nellie stamp called "Honey Pip." Honey is from the Sherbet Pips' Collection of Home Grown stamps, and you can find her HERE at Funky Kits! Seriously . . . what's more "Spring" than green grass, flowers, and butterflies?! Here's a bit of a side view . . . .

And another "side view," for good measure . . .
