You are my Sunshine

Hello there - I'm home from work today with an awful sinus infection.  It started Monday and by yesterday morning, the left side of my face was just throbbing with sinus pain.  I ended up going to the dr. and they prescribed an antibiotic so I've been taking that along with Sudafed Sinus Pain & Pressure.  I have zero energy and my head is just so foggy, so I'm home resting on the couch today.  Nothing to do but blog, right?  :)  Here's what I have for you today:


I would like to enter this into the following challenges:


I used the new digi image from TGF called Blush Bebe, corela. Papers are from Doodlebug Designs, ribbon tag and butterfly are from my stash. Peace.

Mad!

Good morning - happy Sunday!  Since going back to work, I've really learned to appreciate weekends again!  :)  This morning I threw a pork shoulder in the crock pot with some onion, garlic, and fresh-squeezed orange juice after rubbing the shoulder with salt, pepper, oregano, and cumin... looking forward to pulled pork carnitas tacos and quesadillas tonight for dinner.  Yum.  And now I get to craft all day and not worry about cooking later.  Double yum.  ;)

So this morning I'd like to share this card I made with one of the fabulous digi images from SLS Lines:


I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:


This is my first time using the Mad Hatter digi from SLS Lines, and I colored him with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits with a bit of marker - then I covered his glasses lenses in Crackle Accents, which gave his eyes a funky appearance.  Papers are from Simple Stories - film strip die cut was made on my Silhouette and the text stickers are from colorobok.  Peace.

A Beautiful Soul

Hello there!  Today I'm heading to a memorial service, a very good friend of mine lost his younger brother a few weeks ago.  These things always make me want to tell the people I love how much they mean to me.  I encourage you all to do the same.

This card was actually made for a friend of mine at work, Ruthie, who lost her dad suddenly. He loved Hawaii and had a place there, so I used that theme for the card I made for Ruthie.  I always try to focus on the good, the happy memories and the things that make us smile when we think about someone we've lost.  Here's the card:


I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:


The image is from Make it Crafty, and I colored it with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits. I added Stickles glitter to the seashells and glued 3 real seashells onto the corner.  Papers are from My Mind's Eye. Peace.

Wicked Wednesday & Oddall Art New Release

Good morning!  Happy April Fool's Day!  Do you know the history behind this silly holiday?  Click here to read all about it - it's actually quite interesting!  We have a new challenge for you today at:

 Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge: April Fool's or Your Favorite Holiday

 I'd like to enter this ATC into the following challenges:

Our sponsor is Creepie Cute Stamps and I used my new paper pad from Authentique for the background, then colored the image to match.  Inked the edges of the ATC and added the "April Fool" sentiment with Tim Holtz alpha stickers.

Next up - we have a new release and a new DT introduction at:

 I'd like to enter my creation into the following challenges:

 The image I used is called Simon Owl Heart #189 and I colored  him with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  This is a special birthday card for a very special young lady in my life - her name is Paige and she's turning 16 on April 14.  Her mom Donnell was a good friend of mine and she passed away in November of 2013 after battling ovarian cancer.  Eleven years after losing her baby Kaitlyn to cancer, and I just think that is one of the most unfair things I've ever heard, but it happened and she's the reason I got this tattoo on my left arm last Fall (the teal ovarian ribbon is in memory of Donnell & the little gold ribbon is in memory of Kaitlyn):

Anyway, I used my favorite new paper pad from Authentique on this card along with some coordinating cardstock stickers, then finished it off with some black pearl stickers and hot pink gems.  I'm sending it to her next week along with a bracelet I found that has the same quote as the card - She Believed She Could, So She Did.  Thanks for visiting!  Peace.
