Hooray! Dare to Get Dirty 09!!


BE SURE TO SCROLL DOWN FOR TODAY'S S2G SNEAK PEEK!!

I got the chance to participate in a couple of the Dare to Get Dirty challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers the other day. In fact this little gem fulfills the requirements for several of the DTGD09 challenges - use ribbon (Lauraly), use a punch or die-cut (Becca_Stamps), use wild animals (PickleTree), and use paper tole (blondie090277). I love it when I can kill several challenges in one shot!

The images used here are from another My Cute Stamps set that I received from ABC Toys & Crafts, called Circus Animals. Look at all those darling images in the set!! AND it's on sale through July 31st - all those cute images for $11.69! So hurry up and get it while they're still in stock!! In fact, there's a sale going on at ABC Toys & Crafts - everything (with a few exceptions) is on sale for 10% off through 7/31!! Oh yeah, and Julie just got some of the brand spankin' new holiday (Halloween, Fall, and Christmas) Martha Stewart punches in the store - they are a-MAZING!! Plus, FREE SHIPPING for orders over $70!! What the heck are you waiting for?!!

Check out that yummy gingham ribbon! I picked that up when I went on one of my little retail therapy trips in AZ with my buddy, Terri. She took me to this unbelievable ribbon store that nearly had me peeing myself in the aisles. There were so many fun and beautiful ribbons to pick from. Can't wait to go back there when I return to AZ!! I plan to use this card for a baby shower that I'm going to on Saturday. But I can totally envision using these images for a sweet birthday card for a little boy or girl, can't you?!!
