Shiver Me Timbers

Yo Ho Ho and a digital stamp. Since I didn't want to walk the plank, I played along with the challenge at the Hambo Hoedown.  This week's digi is "Pirate" and the challenge was to add a "map"".  And being that the image is a pirate and I'm from Pittsburgh, of course the map I used is "downtown Pittsburgh".

This week's challenge over at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge Blog is "Girl Power".  Since Sassy Studio Designs is a sponsor this week, and as a member of the DT  at Sassy Studio Designs, I played along. All of the images at SSD are perfect for this challenge.  I used the "Pin Up Cat Sassy" image for the challenge.

Here's what I created.

Calculator Love

If you're looking for a great weekly challenge, the Hambo Hoedown is a terrific Addition.  This week the challenge was to create a card and add "numbers". Not including the numbers on the calculator.  If you use a Hambo image, you will receive next week's image free.  Here is what I came up with.

After I was done making and photographing it.  I thought of a different sentiment.  I redid the card to this.
