If you are here for the Whimsy blog hop, please click here.
Happy Tuesday Everyone!!
I just had to share something weird that is going on with my blog before going on with my post and see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing? Each morning I like to look at my comments on my blog and then reciprocate a message for those who I may not have visited the day before. So this a.m. I clicked on my comments to view them. Although the comments said there were 70 comments, when I clicked into it my post none of the comments were visible. Then I went to a previous post and only a few of the comments showed up there. How frustrating! I apologize if you did stop by and visit me and I could not get to you. Unfortunately I have no way of knowing who was here and who was not.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anywho...on to today's post....Since it is Tuesday, it is time for another Midnight Madness Sketch!!!
Once again, it's "YOUR PICK" Make it fancy, clean and simple, or somewhere in-between.
Here is my take on the sketch! I have two cards to share with you today since I created a card with both our monthly and weekly sponsors images today.
The first is a card I created using a Wags n Whiskers image available at Stamp and Create. Better yet....it is one of the stamps which is a product spotlight this week....so it is on sale for 25% off!!! This week's product spotlight is called an Easter sale but the stamps include much more than just Easter stamps!!! Click here to view some of the awesome images on sale for 25% off.
My creation is made with the Easter Blessings stamp set from Wags n Whiskers (Stamp and Create). It is one of my fave images illustrated by Crissy Armstrong!!
For my creation, I used Basic Grey Sugared Dp and I water colored my image with distress inks. The gorgeous beaded fringe lace, daisy spacers, and basic grey green pearls are also available at Stamp and Create. I just love the trim with the beads and pearls!! Isn't is delish?
Now on to my second creation with a Sunshine and Dragonflies stamp. I used a 2 1/4 inch Chocolate Dipped Strawberry cupcake stamp. After coloring it with Prisma color pencils and gamsol, I cut it apart like a puzzle, inked the edges and put it back together again. For some added interest I added a Penny Black mouse with a balloon to make it look like a real celebration.
I hope you are inspired by my two creations for this sketch and you too want to join the fun. We can't wait to see your creations!!

Edited to include: Sorry for the different sizes and all the spaces. That is not what my draft looks like at all!! Blogger does not seem to like me today and quite honestly I am not liking it. GRRRRRRRR! My apologies for the post appearance. If it were not for letting my team mates down by removing this, I would.

these are just soooo wonderful Chris...WOW LOVE that image on the first one and those puzzle pieces are just FABULOUS!! The second one awwww how cute is he...TOOOO PRECIOUS great cards sweetie! Hugs!
WOW...Both cards are just GORGEOUS!! I love the puzzle pieces!! The beady fringe on the first one is FABULOUS! Thanks playing along at SSDS!
Wonderful cards, and yes my comment count does not match up with what is listed on my blog. Something odd is happening.
I like your use of puzzle pieces,
Hugs
Tanya
Wow Chris, your cards are fabulous! I enjoy looking at all the elements you include. Very nice!
these are fabulous! love how you framed your 1st one and those puzzle pieces are awesome too!
if you ask me.... blogger has a mind of it's own. it's haunted! grrrrrr!
WOW!!! I love both of these cards! Stunning and amazing detail. Both images are a couple of my faves and you colored them fabulously!!!
Blogger and I have a love hate relationship, so anything you tell it does, I believe you..lol I'm with Stef, I think it's haunted or just ate up, one or the other, they really need to fix it!!
Thanks for joining us this week at Sew Many Challenges!!
Chris both of your cards are just fabulous! I really love the second one. The colors are so bright and happy and that little mouse is so cute! I like your use of charms too.
Blogger acts up a lot and it's frustrating. It's not just you it picks on!
Fab cards!
Thanks for joining us at the ABC Challenge!
Helen x
Oh wow! Both are fab girl!!! I love the puzzle pieces and the images are too cute!
Wow Mom this creation is fabulous!!I love the images and the coloring on both of them!!
Awesome!!
Love and hugs,
Nicki
Fantastic cards!
I am having the same blogger issue Tanya mentioned above. The comment count does not match how many comments there actually are. I think I read there was an issue - and blogger is slow to "publishing" some comments. Hopefully it gets resolved soon.
Blogger sure does have a mind of his own doesn't he??? These are, however, gorgeous cards Chris - I love how you did the 'puzzle pieces'!! Fabulous work!
hugs, Danielle
How frustrating it is when blogger acts up on us!
Your cards are gorgeous!!! And I'm so glad to see the wags 'n whiskers stuff coming out digitally!!! Now I've got tough decisions to make. There are too many I like ;)
These are absolutely fabulous Chris! I so love your cards! xx
Yes, the lettering does that on my blog too. I've found out, it's best to type it all out first and then go back and add colour and size, coz, if you have to take something out it seems not to realise that! and continue to make it large or small or the wrong colour!
Your card is lovely. Love the puzzle bits! Lovely image. Thank you for joining OSAAT's challnge this week, hope to 'see' you again next week too!

Hi Chris, so sorry you are having so many problems with your blog. I would hate that. You do seem to get a lot of comments and I hope that all gets worked out. I know how wonderful you are about returning comments :) Anyway, wonderful cards this week. Great job on both. So nice that you found the time to make one with each of our sponsors this week ;) I really like your pearl ribbon on your first card :) Thanks Chris for always going above and beyond.
Priscilla
WOW Chris, you did an amazing job with the sketch - when I first saw the jigsaw sketch was horrified - but you totally rocked it!!! :) Both are fabulous and I love your ribbon and sewing!!!
Adorable card!! Thanks for playing along with us at Raise the Bar!!!
I love the puzzle piece--it's different and I like that! Both are amazing!
OMG, I love both of these, Chris. If you could see me. I am scrolling up/down, up/down, up/down. I just think that are both perfect. I really love the little mouse on the cupcake one. What a cute and creative touch, and that ribbon with the dangling pearls on the first one is gorgeous!! Always a treat for the eyes here. I love it!
Hugs,
Carolyn
