Hey crafters! How's it going?  

There's a new challenge up at Wags 'n Whiskers!  Go and say hello and leave a message for the fabulous ladies whose cards are amazing! (I'm not talking about mine...I'm humble like that! :-) )

It's a color challenge: Orange, Yellow, White and Kraft

Make sure you read the challenge rules that are posted at the

top of the Wags 'n Whiskers blog.  

One lucky participant will win a free Wags ‘nWhiskers Rubber Stamp!

You don’t have to use a Wags ‘n Whiskers image on your card, but if you do, you will be entered into a 2^nd drawing for a free Wags ‘n Whiskers Digi!

I used the same image and used three different elements and sentiments.

For all of the cards:
Image used: Scootin' By digi (She is also available as a rubber stamp).  She is stamped onto watercolor paper and colored with Twinkling H2O's.
She is popped up with dimensionals by Stampin' Up.

Base: PTI Orange Zest

DP: K & Company

Buttons: PTI Orange Zest

Kraft Paper: PTI embossed with Cuttlebug Bloom Dots

Now for the sentiment on each card.

Twine:  The Twinery Lemondrop

This card has Prima flowers with spacers from Stamp and Create held together by yellow brads. 

The sentiment I made.  It can be found here.

For this card the flowers are also Primas but it's held down with Eyelet Outlet's Orange Rhinestone brads. 

This sentiment can be found here.

 The flowers on this card I found at the Dollar Tree a long time ago.  Super cute.  They are felt and the already came with the bling.

The Just roll with it sentiment can be found here.

Thanks for hanging out with me!

Ribbon and Bling

May is a super crazy month for me.  I'm sure it's the same for lots of you out there...especially if you have kids or are a teacher.  May is when all the end of year events happen and you have so many blocks on your agenda letting you know that your evenings and even days are not longer yours.  The stream of events in school combined with end of year after school things.....aaahhh life! 

My friend wrote about taking time out for your life and personal things in the midst of your career/job.  In church, our Pastor talked about not being overwhelmed and overcoming anxiety (the second video in the series 5.4.14) - something I suffer from.  It was something that I SO needed to hear.  Especially when I sat down with my planner and started jotting down all the things on my list that I needed to do and all the end of the year awards and all the parties and all the end of the year events for my class.... UGH! My eyes began to bulge and the anxiety level began to rise.  I had to remember to say to myself: "Chill!  God's got this!"

So in that theme - I forgot to post my card for the Ribbon and Bling challenge at Wags 'n Whiskers, which has already come and gone... so I apologize for that sincerely!

Here is my card:

 I am using Let's Go Team which is embossed onto watercolor paper and colored with Twinkling H2O's.  She is super presh!

 Card Details: 

Base: PTI White

Gold paper: my stash

Ribbon: Joann's 

Black DP: MME Chalk Studio

I added some glitter to her pompoms and to her outfit and shoes.  The bling on the corner is from AC Moore.  

Thanks for coming by and checking her out!
