Puppy Dog Blues

*Our little puppy batman passed away yesterday.  My sweet little one is taking it very hard, as he was her first little pet.  Please keep her in your prayers and thoughts.*

How appropriate that today's little card would then be a praying for you card.  It goes along with the Sweet Stop Sketches Challenge this week (SSS213).

This little monkey fits in the color challenge over at The PlayDate Cafe (#184), the card makin momas challenge to use rubber stamps, as well as the sketch challenge at freshly made sketches (missed that deadline in all this chaos)!

And lastly, a little sweet sketch Wednesday (208) to wrap things up.

At this point, I honestly can't remember what challenges these cards even go to - I know, how awful is that...  

Monday Monday

Good Morning and Happy Monday!  I hope today is the beginning of a week filled with nothing but blessings from our Heavenly Father just for you!  Although we are starting the week off on a rainy note here in the little corner of the world we call home, we are so blessed - for God knows just what we need.
First up this week, for CAS(E) this sketch, is this little number.  I also decided to try to make it a little on the masculine side and combine it with the challenge over at Really Reasonable Ribbon to use ribbon on a masculine project.  Isn't this owl ribbon just too cute!  After making it, I couldn't believe I hadn't used any stamps on this card, but I'm still tickled with how it turned out, so I didn't go back and add anything!

Next is my take on the current SCS sketch challenge (438).  I decided to combine it with a little Fab n Funky (173) to throw in the girly side of things and Card Makin Mommas (CMM70) and used a good ole rubber stamp from TE.

Later this week I'll *hopefully*have some scrapbooking uploaded to here!  The weather has just not been too cooperative for nice sunlight pictures!

Have a happy Monday!
Blessings,
Mary
