Thought of the Week

Little Dude

I hope everyone has had a great week and looking forward to the weekend.
We are due for another snowstorm tomorrow.  I think I was complaining just a month ago about needing moisture, well in the last couple of weeks, we've definitely received a decent amount of snow!!
It still doesn't make driving delightful though especially when there are too many drivers who believe 4 wheel drive means drive fast on icy roads.  At least they keep the tow truck drivers employed!
I think I've finally gotten my schedule under control and have quite a few of the larger projects moving in the right direction.  My goal is to get to visit everyone by the end of the weekend and see how much gorgeousness I've missed over the last couple of weeks.

I've been creating and coloring, but I just haven't had the time to sit down and blog properly:)  Here is an adorable Mo Manning image that I just couldn't resist.

This fun little guy is called Little Dude with Tude.  I don't recall the papers I've used with him, but the sentiment is from an MFT collection and the die cuts are from Memory Box.

 Of course he's been colored up with a variety of copics, but unfortunately, I forgot to write them down as I was working.

Thanks for stopping by today, and I definitely look forward to visiting y'all this weekend.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
DP2:  Anything Goes
Clearly Inspired:  Die Cuts
Raise the Bar:  That's My Boy
4 Crafty Chicks:  Die for Dies
Craft Us Crazy:  Anything Goes
Little Miss Muffet:  Boys Only

Now tell me Shelby - from the look on this little boy's face and by the way he is holding the teddy bear, it's wonder that stuffing is not flying all over the place. I can assure you if the stuffing is not coming out now - it soon will be!!!
Beautifully done sugar and your coloring is always brilliant!
