"Believe" in "Precious" friends...!

Hello, precious friends! I'm really getting sassy this weekend and mixin' it up! First of all, yesterday I posted my MOST concise entry, to date. Which is saying something... TODAY, I'm ALSO going to attempt to be less superfluous than usual, as I post TWO cards for TWO different challenges IN-ONE-POST! Oh, my! Fasten your seat belts and "BELIEVE!" in the impossible:

Challenge #1 - 2 Sketches 4 you:




This card is for a {new to me} challenge for 2 sketches 4 you! It features lots of Teresa Collins' fabulous paper, a Tim Holtz Fragment and chunck-0-ideology, some transparency material from Stampin' Up, then run though the Sizzix Big Shot/ Stampin' Up! addition, sandwiched inside the argyle CuttleBug embossing folder and a whole lot of scrappy, card-making joy: yummy AND good for my tummy! (That whole "sandwich" recipe system for the Big Shot ALWAYS makes me hungry!)

Supplies:
C/S - Stampin' Up!
D/P - Teresa Collins
Fragment and Ideology Clock Spinner - Tim Holtz
Medium Weight Transparency Material - Stampin' Up!
Stamps - Stampin' Up!
Ink - Stampin' Up! and Staz On
Top Note Die and Sizzix Machine - S/U! and Sizzix
Argyle Embossing folder - CuttleBug

Wahoo! What a cute and fun sketch and challenge that was! What will those girls come up with next!?!

Challenge #2 - Dawn McVey Color Challenge



Fun colors to play with, got me thinking about things that are precious.... I was playing with JUST ONE OF MANY of my precious Stampin' Up! sets that DID NOT get discontinued {WAHOOOO!} recently, and THIS CARD happened!

Oh my goodness and smallness! Look at this dainty, precious little pup!

And here's another one: it's OATMEAL! My real life precious pup! (No pinky bling on this boy, however... He's a RANCH DOG!)


Supplies:

C/S - Stampin' Up!
Grungeboard letters - Tim Holtz
Stickles - Tim Holtz
Acrylic Paint - Liquitex
Stamps - (Dogs and accessories) Stampin' Up!; (woodgrain) All Night Media
Chipboard Star - Stampin' Up!
Corner Rounder - Stampin' Up!
Scallop Circle - Stampin' Up! & Sizzix

So, friends! Thanks for stopping in! I hope you're all having a fabulous weekend! I have to share one more shot of me with two of the craftiest craftin' buddies a gal could ever have: Claire ( me) and Dana! Have a great rest of your weekend all of you dear crafty ones! Bye now!
