Challenged...

Yep, that's me! I was ALL ABOUT challenges today:) I made two FUN cards that I LOVE and hope YOU'LL like them too! The first one is for Taylor's Cupcake Challenge, TECC47-
Isn't that a fun sketch? It really called out to me, so I answered (OMG that was SO cheesy!)

Here's my card:

I really have been neglecting my sassy little Bella's so I just had to pull out my cupcakeabella! Isn't she so cute and sweet sittin on that cupcake? The paper is by MME. My favorite thing on this card (aside from Ms. Bella herself) is that RIBBON! It's Martha Stewart and that COLOR just matched PERfecTLY! I *LOVE* when that happens:)

Okay, my next card is for todays Inspiration Challenge (IC159) over on SCS! I was inspired by the colors in this photo:

As soon as I saw this photo I IMMEDIATELY thought of my poor, lonely Bali Breeze dp! OH YES! It's PERFECT and it's been awhile since I broke it out. I think I've been on a "lonely and neglected supplies" kick this weekend, I have been GRAVITATING towards them! That's good though, right? I hope it lasts, I have TONS of crap to use up, lol! Here's my card!

I just *LOVE* the bright, cheeriness of this card! I'm not sure who to send it too though, because a few of my friends here at home completely pissed me off this week! *sorry for the language, but DUDE!*

**Hijacking my own blog post, skip ahead to ignore me, it won't hurt my feelings cause I won't know:)**

Okay, wanna here the story? So we all know that my husband is deployed so I'm alone for Christmas? Well, my friends TOTALLY frickin left me out of the Christmas party they're having on Christmas Eve because there is ONE couple there I don't really feel comfortable around. It's not that I don't like them, just feel awkward and weird around them. You know that couple, the really LOUD guy who just thinks he's the funniest dude on earth and doesn't let you get a word in edge-wise so you just kinda sit there and can't wait to go home? Yeah, so I told my friend, "You know, just because I don't really like that couple, doesn't mean I wouldn't have appreciated being invited to someone's house on CHRISTMAS EVE so I DON'T HAVE TO BE ALONE! I mean, SERIOUSLY! So she was like, "Oh I didn't think you'd come" and STILL never invited me! Not that I would have gone after that, but damn. I mean really. So I don't have any IRL friends I feel like sending a sweet card to lately, lol!

Sorry, that came out of nowhere but I'm really upset about it and don't have my honey hear to lean on so I just have to unload on you poor, unsuspecting cyber friends:D

**Back to the card, lol!**

I used, obviously, Bali Breeze dp on my card and the cardstock I used is Pumpkin Pie, Purely Pomegranate, and Tempting Turqouise! I used three SU! stamps *that's right, I pulled out my neglected SU! stamps!* I used Stitched Exotics, Stitched bg, and Full of Life!! I added some stickles to the cut out flowers cause you know me and my obsession with Stickles:D Greatest stuff EVAH invented, EVAH!!!!!

Mmmkay, now that I've probably lost some loyal subscribers due to my ranting, I'll let you get back to your day, lmbo! Thanks for listening though, I feel better:)

Have a fantastic SATURDAY, Ya'll!
