When Pigs Fly!

Happy Wednesday! I hope you are enjoying your week. Today I have a quick post for you. I am again, using another one of my new Stampotique stamps. I used Flying Pig, and the "When pigs Fly" sentiment. I think this image is super cute, and I thought it went great with the DP. Well, like I said, quick post today. I hope you have a great rest of the week and weekend :) Bye for now!

I'm moustache smitten

Happy Wednesday/ hump day!. I hope you are enjoying you week this far. Today will be my last post before I leave for vacation, so I am a bit antsy to go. It is a very much needed vacation and I am counting down the work days...LOL
As always, Wednesdays are challenge day of at Stampotique Originals and this week Sue is hosting and here is what she had to say:

Good morning everyone, it's Sue here and I'm delighted to be hosting this weeks challenge. I'm sure that every crafter has had that block where their mojo has packed it's bags and gone on holiday. I know I've sat and looked at a sheet of card and had no ideas at all. One way I've got to get over this is just to decide what size or shape I want to make. So I pick a card or a tag, or in this case a postcard. Postcards are great fun and it's amazing how much you can get on a 6x4 (inches) area. So this week I would like you to make a postcard. Have Fun!

Sue came up with a fabulous challenge, and I took it literally, and made a 4x6 postcard.

I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, as this was super fun to create. I used Smitten Moustache Monsters, which is on of the new stamps from the recent release. This is by far one of my favorite new stamps. ADORABLE!!! Well, I hope you like my postcard today. Hop on over to Stampotique and see what the rest of the amazing DT created for this weeks Challenge.

Going Grey With Scrap-Creations Challenge: Easter

Happy Tuesday!!!! I hope you had a great weekend. As always, I could have used another day in the weekend. They just go by so fast. I have to admit, my weekend was pretty exciting. My daughter Abbey competed level 6 in NH gymnastics state meet, and she placed 5th place all-around, along with 3 medals in three events. We are so proud of her. She has worked so hard. Not only did Abbey have a great meet, but so did everyone on her team, and with all their hard work, they placed 1st in the state of NH for level 6. It was such a great day, and the girls were brought to tears with happiness.
Ok, ok, enough bragging about my girl. Let me tell you about this weeks Going Grey Challenge. With Easter only two weeks away, we are challenging you with an Easter challenge this week. I decided to go with a cutesy bunny for this weeks challenge. I used Rick St. Dennis digi bunny stamp, and I created this very bright and loud Easter card. I feel like I am a embellishment and and layout rutt. I feel like all my cards are starting to look the same...blahhhhh....Have you every felt like that????? This to shall pass.....

Last weeks Spring Cards were AMAZING...which always makes it really hard to choose. After torturing myself trying to pick this weeks TOP 3, I finally did, and they are:
