SMILE! It's Monday!

It's MONDAY!!

WOOT WOOT!!!

HORRAY!!! 

Let's PARTY!

*she says as she sits at her computer. the house still quiet because everyone is sleeping.

all she hears are birds singing and cars driving past the house. 

it was actually cool enough to open windows this morning! 

she also hopes the neighbors dog, a huge black annoying dog, doesn't start barking

its head off like it did  at 3 and 5 AM. 

she is enjoying drinking her almost luke warm coffee and is preparing to share a happy

little project with you because it is Monday and we should be happy. 

It is the start of a new week.

More time to praise and thank God for his many blessings on our lives.

More time to figure out how to live more for Him.

more time to figure out this parenting thing that is harder than she ever imagined it

would be. More time to spend loving and being with her family. 

another wonderful day, another gift from the Father. 

*ahem - she would be me if you didn't figure that out yet ;-)*

Now, I know many of you think clowns are creepy. 

All clowns are creepy. 

But I hope I can change your mind with this one. 

This image is part of our newly released set of  Dress Up Kids

found at the Fresh Brewed Designs Shop <

Little Clown Dress Up Digital Stamp

This card was created using the sketch found at

SWEETEST THING SUNDAY #241

as well as the photo inspiration at 

CUPCAKE INSPIRATIONS #283

For those of you who are still scared, look away! 

It is a close up!!!

Here is a close up of this sweet little dress up kid.

 You can see all of the pretty sparkle I added using a variety of

stickles glittler paint colors.

 I also used a lime colorbox chalk ink to create the green center of my diecut circle. 

The smile sentiment is by inkadinkado.

This image was colored using a mix of sharpie and prismacolor markers 

ALL papers were found in my scrap box. Even the red card base. 

My scrap box isnt really a 'scrap box'. There are huge pieces in there. 

I need to dig in there more ;)

Thank you for stopping by today!

I do hope you have a very happy and blessed day.

I chose to add a tag to my card rather than to create a full tag. 

Here is my example:

New Digi Release at Fresh Brewed Designs (Dress Up Kids)

It's time for a NEW DIGI RELEASE!

I am so excited to share these new images with you!

I had such a great time sketching them up and

then coloring and bringing them to life!

We have 12 Dress Up Kid images and

17 new digital sentiments to release today!

When I sat to start sketching these images, 

I knew I wanted something for Halloween, but also wanted them

to be versatile enough to use for many other occasions. 

I know my son (and daughter when she was younger)

didn't have to have a specific day or reason to play dress up, 

they just did it. I can't tell you how many photos I have of my son 

dressed up as every super hero imaginable. 

He has been a monkey, a ninja turtle, a skeleton, a zombie skateboarder, 

Casey Jones... The list is literally endless. I could go on and on.

The point is, kids just love dressing up, and we love seeing them use 

their imaginations. This is what this whole release is about!

Just cute kids having fun!

My first card features

DINOSAUR DRESS UP DIGI

and

RAWR (2) DIGITAL SENTIMENT

I used the sketch SC508 at Splitcoast Stampers for this card

My second card features:

POPCORN GIRL DRESS UP DIGI

and

POPPIN' BY DIGITAL SENTIMENT

I used the sketch #239 at SWEET SUNDAY SKETCH  for this card.
