I Pledge Allegiance

Image
   How do you like this cutie??  She is another digi from Sassy Cheryl's, called "I Pledge Allegiance." I originally made it for a challenge that required anything but a square card, but I can't remember where the challenge was!!  But over at, Shopping our Stash , this week the challenge is "Circles or Dots." The card is almost a circle, and there are dots all over!!   I colored her with Copics, then cut her out and used Dimensionals and mounted her on Night of Navy.  The dp is Bo Bunny, "Liberty Collection." I cut out the base using my Creative Memories Shape Maker. The sentiment if from SU set "Spring Pictograms", stamped in Real Red. I added some Stickles for sparkle to the flag, her dress and shoes.                                  Well, I hope you enjoyed your visit today!!! Come back soon!!

happiness....

Well, over the last few days I have colored up 10 images!!  Now to get down to the card making part!!!  The first one, is a Phindy's Place image, "Sudsy Suzy".  The challenge this week was  #98-Animal Planet.   This little kitty qualifies!!  At Cute Card Thursday, the challenge is "Anything goes".   Card stock is Taken with Teal, dp is Bazzill Basics, "Jaybird Street". Colored with Copics, added some Primas, brad, Stickles and I used my Creative Memories Corner Rounder.  The sentiment is from a SU set, Warm words..     It is such a nice day out today, I actually took a 30 minute walk!!  Maybe I'll get another in later.  I want to try to make a few more cards with my colored images..   Have a great day everyone!!!

Celebrate!!!

  Hey there!! I've been gone awhile, I know!  Thought I would get a bunch of posts ready first, but it didn't happen.  Anyway, I had some surgery done last Wed, 3-14. Came home on Friday, but went to the ER on Sunday with a lot of shortness of breath. Turns out I had 2 moderate to large pulmonary effusions. I had about 2 liters of fluid in my chest cavity around my lungs, making it hard for me to breathe. So I got admitted over night, had some IV diuretics and after peeing a lot, I went home on Monday. I am feeling a whole lot better now.  Even pain is much better.  My Mom was here visiting the whole time, so that helped. My 2 DD's were with me as well, a lot of the time.  They scared me in the ER telling me the "usual" way to get rid of the fluid is with chest tubes and needles and such. Glad we didn't go that route!!     Anyway, here is a card I made before all of that!!  Isn't it a cutie??   He is a Sassy Cheryl's digi called   "Thank God F

Polly's Teacup

Image
      What flavor of tea do you like???   Isn't she is cutie, too??  This ia another awesome Sassy Cheryl's digi Sassy Cheryl's , called " Polly's Teacup."     Goes perfect for me, as I gave up drinking coffee, caffeine and carbonated beverages.  So my drink of choice, besides water, is now Herbal teas.  I used to be a big tea drinker in the past, but somehow went to coffee (and Diet Pepsi.)      The card stock is  Green Gable,  the dp is Bazill Basics "Jaybird Street."  I added some Petaloo Flowers,  and for the tea bag string and label I used Bakers Twine and a button.   I thought that was clever of me!! Isn't she cute??    It was a little tough getting up this morning for work, due to day light savings time, but I did go to bed a little bit early.  Last night, after work I went bowling with my DD and her fiance. I didn't do too well at all, a 93 and 135.  Considering my average is about 150!!  Maybe the 3rd game would have hit it

Another Sassy Cheryl's digi, called "Clueless Lucy."   Isn't she cute??     Card stock is Gina K Pure Luxury White and Vibrant Violet.  The dp is Bazzill Basics "Jaybird Street."  Colored her with Copics, added ribbon and Petaloo flowers                            Hope you enjoyed!!   I'm so glad to be off today!! We were sooo busy on Monday at work, I came home with a terrible headache and did nothing but lay on the couch! Yesterday wasn't quite so busy, but still glad to be off today. Next, I will work 4 in a row!! Tomorrow is my day off too, but I am working overtime!! Silly me!! 

Signs of Spring--(Coming soon, hopefully)

   Here is cutie I colored up quite a while ago, but just  put her together yesterday. She is a Sassy Cheryl's digi, "Sassy Flower Girl."   The challenge over at Cute Card Thursday is #206-Signs of Spring.    This is new paper I recently acquired, Bazzill Basics, Jaybird Street. Never had Bazzill before. It is so bright and cheery!!  Card stock is Yoyo Yellow, Gina K Pure Luxury. I colored with Copics, sponged with Melon Mambo, used a Nesties Scallop die.  Added some bling, and Peatloo Flowers.        Close up    Hope you like her!!  I've colored up a lot of Sassy Cheryl's digi's lately.  They are all just darling!!!   Happy Monday everyone!!

The Cheesy Surprise Gift!!

Image
Hi everyone!!  Happy Sunday to you all!!   I woke up to more snow this morning. Not sure how long it is going to last or how much we will get. It is still my day off, so I really don't care!! Plus, I don't have to shovel, as I live in an apartment!!  I do have to run to the store to get more veggies, however.   Since Wednesday, I have given up caffeine, eating only high protein shakes and bars and veggies. Plus lots of water and herbal teas.  I have lost 6.8 lbs so far.  I get a little hungry now and then, but then I try to eat veggies or Sugar Free Popsicles or jello.  Wish me luck!!!    So no to my card today....  This is another on of Sassy Cheryl's cuties!!! It is called "The Cheesy Surprise Gift."   It must be pretty cheesy by the look on her face!!  She is colored with Copics,The card stock is YoYo Yellow, and Gina K Pure Luxury White. The dp is a new Gina K called "Wisteria Lane."   This is only 1 of 8 different patterns in the pack!!  I love

Summer Swinging!!

Image
  Isn't she a cutie?? This is a Prairie Fairy digi called "Summer Swinging" .  I know, there is a lot of orange!!  I thought it looked kind of "springy." Card stock is Only Orange, Gina K Pure Luxury White. I made this for the Crazy 4 Challenges, using only 2 layers. BUT...the challenge ended yesterday and I didn't enter it in time. Oh well.....   I tore the paper and sponged it with Only Orange. Added some ribbon, a Prima and brad and a new Petaloo flower.  Of course, colored her with Copics.  Notice, she does have purple glasses and tinted lenses of a very light lilac!!    This was a fun card to make. It was hard to only use 2 layers, though. I was on a roll yesterday. I actually made 6 cards!!! Most in one day.  I guess it was the snow falling that did it to me!!     My wonderful friend, Susan over at Cricut & Grasshopper  gave me this awesome award!!   Here is a little info on the Green Blend Award: This award was created by Beckie of

Mojo is back!!

Image
Finally got some mojo back!! Colored 3 images last night, and here is one of them!! This cutie is from Sassy Cheryl's , "Bow Legged Cutie."  The challenge there this week is called #104 "Are you seeing dots?"  She is colored with Copics, dp is Bazzill Basics, "Jaybird Street", card stock is Gina K Pure Luxury White, and SU Yoyo Yellow. I added some bling, and a new Petaloo flower.Corners rounded with Creative Memories Corner Rounder.  The sentiment is SU, but I can't recall the name of the set. We are having a snow storm today!!  Perfect day for making cards!!         A plus, is that my 5 day headache is almost gone!!!  I went to the eye doc yesterday, and turns out I have a large cataract in my right eye. I've had double/triple vision in in for 5 days now.  I just had my eyes checked in September, and it was small then. My headache was all around my eye, and I was really afraid that maybe I had a tumor!! Turns out, he said it is a
