Tuesday Throwdown Challenge Sponsored by Robyn's Fetish

I love July!  It just seems like the best time of the year to me.  The 4th is always such a fun holiday, my sister's birthday is in July as well as my granddaughter, Allie.  The weather is always nice and hot and swimming, picnics, and watermelon are on the agenda.  It doesn't really get much better than that for me.  Oh, and I just love all the patriotism and fun colors in all tones of red, white, and blue are everywhere!  This week's challenge for Tuesday Throwdown is Stars and Stripes.  We're being sponsored by Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and they've provided us with some adorable images to use to inspire you.

Based on all of the above, I chose "My Little Cook" and simply adore her!

Isn't she too cute?  She's colored with copics and I added some Stickles to her hat, hair ties, blouse, apron, and socks.  She's cut out with my floral oval by Nestabilities and the flowers are a punch from McGill and the branches are a punch from Martha Stewart.  The papers are from BasicGrey and Graphic 45 (I am trying to use all my scraps, can you tell?) and the gems are from Studio G.  I added some distressed ink in Scattered Straw around the frame and the sentiment.

Here's a closer look at her.  I can just see one of my girls standing up on that little stool wanting to held their dad flip burgers or face a crowd and yell, "The burgers are done!"

I plan on entering her in the following challenges:

Craft Your Passion - Red, white and blue
Crafty Cardmakers - Holidays
Digi Darla's Challenge - Stars and Stripes
Get Inky! Challenge - Red, White and blue
Kaboodle Doodles Challenge - Flag Day or colors

Paper Playtime - Red, White and Blue

Tuesday Throwdown - Cute and Cuddly

Welcome to another Tuesday Throwdown Challenge!  This weeks challenge is being sponsored by Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More and the theme this week is cute and cuddly.  How much stinkin fun is that?  I was flipping through the channels on my tv and had to stop and watch "The Mummy" with Brendan Fraser and this little cutie popped right on to my paper for me to color up!

Isn't he just way too cute?  I think he's adorable and with him saying, "It's scary out here!", I would just scoop him up and cuddle him to death!

He's colored with Spectrum Noir pens and the button is from Heidi Grace and the baker's twine is from my stash.  The papers are from DCWV's Bewitched packet and Paper Pizzaz.  The amber half dots are from Studio 112.  And believe it or not, I didn't use any stickles!

Here's a side view.

 And another side:

But look at this sweet face!  If I saw that witch flying around on her broom and that black cat sitting on the rail of a haunted house, I'd be scared too!  And my wrap is falling off!  He's in some serious trouble!

Here is the inside.  I love this moon!  It's just spooky!

Make sure that you stop by the Tuesday Throwdown blog and see what my oh so talented design team sisters have in store for you!  They never fail to inspire and impress me!  So put your cute and cuddly on and come over and play with our challenge.  We love to see what you create!
