ACLP - Challenge 49 and My Last Card

Happy ACLP Challenge Day Everyone!!



Yep, it's Tuesday!!
Today, my husband, Eric and I were supposed to be laughing and having fun with Claudia (of DCRU and Claudia & Co.) and her husband Mike at CHA.  I was beyond honored when C asked me to accompany her as her Product Consultant,  however I came down with a terrible tooth issue that has left me with excruciating pain, nausea and a fever, so after much thought and prayer...I decided it was better for me to stay at home to rest and heal!! There is a reason for everything!!

So, as we speak my Bestie Claudia is walking her little feet off from booth to booth at CHA excited to see all the new goodies her and I have been talking about for weeks now!!
Believe me...she has plans to bring back all the BEST product from all the top notch companies, so stay tuned to ACLP for all the latest DCRU news!! Yipppee!!

BTW, don't feel too bad for me missing out on CHA...it wasn't really CHA I was excited about...it was spending time with Claudia.  No fear we have plans to get our families together soon, since we both agree this friendship we have was definitely one set in heaven!!

Have fun Claudia and Mike!!

Ok, so on to ACLP - Challenge 49
It's my last as a Card DT. It's difficult to juggle it all, so I have decided to go 
ahead and take a break from the card team this term. 
However, I will still be the Monthly Card Kit Designer and I will be giving 
the Scrap Challenge a try!! 

Here is my DT card...

MORE Puddle Jumpers and a Sugar Stick!!


Happy Thursday to all our Claudia and Co. Friends!!

We have been overflowing with excitement!!
I am not very good with patience...every time I design a stamp and send it off to Claudia (at least 2 months in advance, mind you)...all I can think about from then until release day is what each of you will think when you finally get to see them!!
I am not good with buying Christmas gifts in advance and hiding them away until December...I normally end up giving them to the my little bugs early!!  that is exactly what I want to do month after month...I design a stamp and I want you all to see it immediately!!

Well, I have been waiting for this day since April, so without further Adieu...

Please meet the latest addition to the
Puddle Jumper Family:

(Named after Claudia oldest child, Christian)
 (Named after my oldest child, Hannah)

Supplies:
October Afternoon Paper
Copics
Cardstock
Flowers
Sentiment Stamp


Now our next introduction is very near and dear to my heart!! 
She's a little Sugar Stick!!

Six years ago, when I first started actually doing something with my drawings....I painted
SUGAR STICKS

on Platters, Plates, Canvas Tote Bags, Mugs...anything I could get my hands on and sell!!
So, I guess you could say...I am here today designing for Claudia with a LOT of help from the Lord and little help from from the Sugar Sticks!!

Introducing the very first time ever a 
SUGAR STICK 
has been seen in rubber....


Girl with Kite

3 stamps in one!!





 _____________________________________

How to tell a Sugar Stick from a Lollipop:

Sugar Sticks can wear a big smile, but NOT always..Tee hee!!
Lollipops never have a Big Smile...only eyes!

Sugar Sticks have stick arms and legs, hence the word Sticks...hee hee!

Lollipops have arms and legs that you can color.

Hope that helps!!
