it's Charisma challenge time, and i'm feeling under the weather...

actually that's a big fat lie! i'm not! it's CHALLENGE TIME at Charisma today - that part is true. and i - yes ME, Leah - am hosting! i love mixin' it up and going for something a little different, so today, my theme is....

UNDER THE WEATHER!

so. a get well soon project will work, or anything to do with illness, recovery, etc. ALSO, weather-related stuff is great for this one! allow me to demonstrate...

yep. weather! apologies for the horribly dark photo - i seem to have a love/hate relationship with my camera these days, and i definitely need a new light. hubbin and i have been checking out the options, but we can't find something we both agree on, so i'm stuck with MEDIOCRITY for now. paradise by the refrigerator light, if you will. (seriously)

we're being sponsored this week by Pink Cat Studio and Stamp Shoppe Creations, so you will DEFINITELY want to get in on this action!

i finally busted out a newer image from Some Odd Girl - little miss Puddle Hopping Tia! coloured her up with my Prismacolor pencils, added some Sassafras papers (did you see they have their BOX SALE going on right now? MMMMMM.) and stickers, some Cosmo Cricket and K & Company alphas (the chipboard ones are Sass), a Fiskars punch for the edge, some yummy trims, and PRESTO!

wanna play? need some ideas? heck, even if you HAVE ideas, you need to CLICK HERE to see what the rest of the Charisma Gals have been up to! play along by next WEDNESDAY (at 7:30 somewhere in the UK, so i think that's 2:30 EST), and you could be one of the lucky winners!
