I WON!!!!

I woke up this morning to some AMAZING news!
Nilda, over at the Gypsy Spot along with Custom Crops were giving away a Gypsy!! Yep, a GYPSY!!! So I entered the contest never dreaming I would win. I never win anything much less a prize like that! But I did win! WOOOOO HOOOOO!
I cannot believe it! I signed on this morning to look at emails and I saw a comment from my blog in my email. It was from my bloggin' buddy Bridget. She always leaves such wonderful comments on my blog but, this one was especially exciting!!! She wrote: "Congrats on the big win over at the gypsy spot. Lucky you. Enjoy your new Gypsy! "
Well at first I thought she has to be mistaken....it has to be a different Chrissy....lol! SO, I hopped on over to the Gypsy Spot gave a click on #55 and low and behold it brought me right back here!
The laptop went flying and i did some, most likely, pretty awful dancing! LOL!
I cannot thank Nilda at the Gypsy Spot and the people over at Custom Crops enough for offering this awesome giveaway!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Golf is life...

Hi there,
I just wanted to share a card with you all. I made this for my hubby's grandpa that just turned 90. He loves golf and god bless him, he still plays!
Side note....poor Tiger Woods should have stuck to just golfing and he wouldn't be in so much trouble...lol!
I'm also entering this in this weeks challenge over at Just Buggin'. The challenge was Sew it. Well, I have a mini sewing machine but haven't got around to trying it out yet.
So here is what I came up with.....

I cut the golf images from Sports Mania. I cuttlebugged the golf ball and then distressed it with Tim Holtz ink. I mounted the "golf is life" on a block that I cuttlebugged with the argyle folder. It has tiny little stitch marks on it. Then I doodled some faux stitches around the brown border of the same box. I hope that will do for the challenge. That's about all my sewing talents for now....lol!

Thanks for stopping by!
