Good evening everyone!  How was your day?  Mine was ok... I'm really really tired... it's time for the vacation to arrive. So to change my mind tonight I played in my craftroom.  I had seen a post this morning on  Decosses dynamite doodles  showcasing a card with the wonderful freebie from  Creative bug  by the wonderful artist Naomi Edwards.  Well I follow Naomi but did not get to her post... because I stopped at Lisa's 1st.  So then of course I just had to go and grab this digi.  And this was my feel good time! For this card I used paper from Studio Calico - by American craft.  I used some ribbon from my stash.  The sentiment and the paper under it was cut with a classic circle and scallop circle.

Hello!  It's time for a new release over at  The stamping chef  and this time I'm showcasing the awesome Racing Rachel. For this card I used some papers that I had purchase for my Disney scrapbook, it's from Cars ;)  I purchased it at the dollar store.  I was super happy when I found it because I was getting desperate to find some paper that would be appropriate for this card... with all the paper that I have I just couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I didn't have any for this... did not make sense.  I guess I can still use more LOL I used some brads from Eyelet Outlet.  I used my Darice Embossing folder for the silver paper.  I also used my Nesting ovals from Quickutz and I used my scallop and regular circle for the sentiment and digi.

Good evening everyone!  Hope you had a good Monday!  I was at the office the entire day with only a conference call... so much different, no meetings got lots accomplished which is really good since I'm going to be on vacation next week. So yesterday, I finally tried my luck to become a DT over at San's Design, you can find it here .  I totally love those digis!  And I had already done a post using one of them here .  I was really anxious when I finally posted my application because there's a lot of team that won't have anything to do with me since I'm already in a lot of dt :(  I create a lot and usually create my cards in advance, so I'm never late... but still if you are on a lot of dt you remove your chances for new teams. So this being said I was really nervous... so much so that I didn't link to my card that I had made, and did not follow the instructions to say why we love working with the digis :(  Today when I realized that I planned to co...
