Naughty or Nice - Rosey Hearts

Image
Naughty or nice... that's always the question the one that we have so much trouble answering... naughty can be fun.... but nice well you get to go to heaven right?!? So what should you do?!?  Well right now the great challenge over at  Rosey Hearts Challenges  is just about that!!!!! And this seemed the perfect layout for a double spread in my journal.  I had some great images from Rosey Hearts that needed to be shown that I had purchased before being on the team.... and well that just brought the idea to my head.  So I asked for the naughty image  Bad Bear  and I paired it up with one of the fab images from the set  Fairy teddy bear Sugarstix  it's only 8.95$ for 6 images!!!!!  So as fab deal that's what I thought and I used another of those fab image for my little niece's card..... but you can also get this image individually here  Fairy teddy bear So here's my little journal pages where I went a bit nuts... well I had fun and was creative that's the point

Dragon Moon

Well I didn't feel all that good yesterday... it was a really blah day overall.... My FIL is getting much worst... prayers and thoughts would be appreciated for him and the family.  I was having back pain again and to top it off the washing machine decided to give me issues.... so yeah... felt and did cry.  And then I had insomnia even with the medication.... In order to change my mind at least a little bit with a great Rosey Heart image.  My daughter had a scrapbook page frame with nothing in it... I thought this cute little  Dragon moon  would be perfect for her room. Here's the frame!  So happy that I'm doing other stuff than cards and it's appreciated!!!

Hello!  I'm doing something different for my usual cards for the Airless chambers ....  Because of the fabulous Bonnie I have started Journaling...and got SOOOOOO hooked that I actually got up to sketch it up before I would forget about it. I had the fabulous image  Eeny Meeny  to craft with and I thought it was the perfect image to use for my Poker make.  I purchased a poker set for the kids to play with during the spring break... and my hubby well he though it wasn't the best idea and that it would gather dust and not be used.... but low and behold the kids LOOOOVED it! So here's my journal page to put the memory down.

Moni - Rosey Hearts

Image
So how are you?!?  It's been awhile since I posted just for the fun of it... I haven't been feeling all that good... that fall that I took ended up screwing with my sleep and well when my sleep is affected everything else is... I guess that's why I'm still home and not working. I still have issues with my back... can't stay standing or sitting too long :(  Oh well I guess that's what happens when you get older?!?  I'm still creating but not as much.... So I journaled yesterday.  I really really really love this new art form.  It really allows me to be creative and let everything go.  It's up to my imagination, no restriction. There's a great image from  Rosey Hearts  it's called Moni .  I shared the watermarked version to Paulette from  Create with TLC  and she made this special sentiment to go with it! Now that sentiment will end up as a freebie.... for a little while before making it's way to the store!  So watch out for it!!!!!  an

Finally I agreed and went out.  And this was the night where I danced for the 1st time some slow songs with the boy that was to become my husband!  We have been together ever since.  Now that friend who got me to go... well I don't even remember her name lol all that I remember is that she didn't like Marc Paul and had a lousy night that night!  But I'm very happy that

Well it's still all white here... and I did what the doctor ordered yesterday I went out for a walk even if it was slippery and not the best of weather... and I slip and fell right on my back.... both feet in the air no time to put my hands down.  My back is killing me now.... Don't think I will be doing hot yoga today :( Before I had taken that walk I had finished a little journal page for Rosey Hearts .  I got a second journal so that I can play with it when the other one is drying.  And here's the make that I did with the fab image  Joker I paired it up with a great set from  Create with TLC  that's called Roll the dice  and I thought it was the perfect set to go with the great image. I have to admit I'm pretty proud of myself for doing what I had set up to do which is do more of other stuff than just cards!  And well the journal are all Bonnie's fault if she's reading this lol she got me hooked!
