Mojo-Licious Monday!

It's another TWO challenges in one kind of day!!! Today I combined
Julee's Mojo Monday Sketch

Totally Stampalicious Baby Card Challenge!

Well...I decided to see if I could turn the newly released Bently Stamp Set into a girl! I drew in a few eyelashes, colred her jammies pink and put a big ol' pink bow on her head....VOILA...Bentlina!!! LOL!!


Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog today!!! Have a fabulous week!!

C4C43 Mercy's Sketch!

Happy Saturday!!
This is Mercy's last challenge for the month and also, sadly, her last challenge with the C4C! It has been an honor working along side her amazing talent for the last year, and I know we'll continue to see her amazing work all over blog land!!
So now, without further ado...here's her AWESOME sketch!!!



Here's my take on it using Birthday Stella from the Totally Stampalicious Bugaboo Line!!


I just got my Large Scallop Die from MFT's line of Die-Namics!!! LOVE it!!! I also got some the awesome felt that they have now too!!!

Well I guess that's it for now! We hope you'll play along and leave a link to your creation back at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog so we can all have a chance to check it out!!!

Now here is my creation for the hop! I just love Gus and Stella...they crack me up and I thought they'd look great on this Message Board that I designed out of a wooden plaque that I got from the $ Store!

I made the cork board by gluing 2 coasters together. I then added a small pad of post-its and an RSVP pen, altered to match! The little chalkboard is another $ Store find...I just cut it down to the size I needed and then folded a piece of cardstock to hold the piece of chalk! I hung this in my craft room and I gotta admit...it looks pretty darn cute!!!

Now it's time to hop on over to Vicki's Blog and see what fabulous artwork
she has to share with us!!
