Bugaboo Challenge Sketch Sunday

Hello Friends, if you are looking for the Bugaboo blog hop please scroll down!

Hello Soaked Sunday, yes, we finally got some rain, actually we got rain in the night and thunder too.  I have my windows open enjoying the fresh cool air.  Nice, smells great too.  I guess you can see that Bugaboo is having a blog hop and challenges all week, and asked us at Totally Stampalicious to join them, which has been super fun. 
 
Anyway, I thought I would join in on some of the challenges too.  Today's is this sketch, fun stuff, do pop on over there and play along, or share the love.  The blog hop is posted too, lots of great stuff going on.  
Tomorrow another great challenge at Totally Stampalicious too.  
The image I used on here is from Totally Stampalicious called Winter Bird Snowman, and I picked Marina Mist, White, Garden Green and Poppy Parade for the card stock.  Embossing folders and a snowflake punch with some bling.  My imaged was colored using Copic Markers. 
So enjoy your Sunday, and see you soon.  Happy Crafting!

TS Favorite Embellishment

Hello friends, I have to admit this challenge was so exciting for me! 
 Favorite embellishment!  Well I have to admit it is flowers, but I like my dies and ribbon, push pins, buttons, twine...etc.  My ultimate favorite is flowers.  
This time I only put one on sort of layered it with 3.  Today's challenge at Totally Stampalicious is your Favorite Embellishment, so go over play along and check out what the Design Team created too.  I used spellbinders dies, whimsy dies, ribbon, embossing folders, and the wonderful stamp is from Totally Stampalicious!

Thanks for stopping and Happy Crafting!
