Just a tiny post to say that I finally got an Etsy shop started ;)  And I even created my 1st Facebook page. So you can go see the shop here (not much into it yet... need to make more post but it's a start lol)  And the FB page is here if you want to go and like! Have a wonderful Tuesday!!! Hugs

It's time for another wonderful new release from  The Stamping chef .  I'm using Sprinkling spring.

I'm playing with the wonderful Freebie from  Creative bug on the loose .  My friend Naomi is not doing well... and Lisa is taking over the blog to share the wonderful freebie with all of you!  This is pretty appropriate with  the creator of this digi being sick.  So when Lisa asked if I could create something with this wonderful digi of course I said YES! So here's my card.

Hello everyone! It's time for another challenge over at  Tuesday Throwdown .  This time it's about Teacher appreciation.  This is just perfect because I need some cards for the end of the year that's coming soon! Our sponsor this week is For my card I used the wonderful digi Deacon School sign it 2

Hello everyone!  Taking time on my lunch hour to post this card that I made on the weekend to participate over in the Meljen's challenge. I just realized that I lost a follower :(  how sad... oh well that's life.  Hope you guys are not bored with me... Anyway enough with the self pity and on to the showing of the card.  I went a bit overboard with the flowers lol.  I had seen my friend Susan who's on the DT team there use this little hummingbird.  So when I won last week I just had to grab him!!! 

Hello everyone!!!  It's time for a new release over at  Fresh brewed designs . I had fun!!!  I played with as many as I could lol  and so could you because there's a great sale going on!!!  It's a 'free digi with purchase' promotional coupon you can get a free digi of equal or lesser value and the code is * newdigis *!!!  So you can have as much fun as I had!  Plus this new release includes fabulous digis to celebrate dad!!! I find masculine card so difficult to do but these were really easy.  For my 1st card I'm using the wonderful digi #1 Dad.

Hello everyone!  It's time for another challenge over at  Melonheadz friends .  This time it's for a Mother's day/special lady. For my card I decided to play with the wonderful digis from the set Mikella's Deluxe Embellies that can be found here .  

Well it's time for another wonderful challenge over at  Eureka stamps  and this time our challenge is to do something monochromatic. YIKES!!!!  Don't  know about you but I have trouble doing that... Did a card on my blog yesterday as well... yup these are challenges for us DT as well lol So for my card I used the wonderful digi Grecian Square.  I thought it was perfect for this challenge and really required very little on my part.

You are here for my DT card for Digi Darlas!  And this time our challenge for you is celebrate!  How easy is that?!?  There are so many events that can be celebrated!  And you will see from our post a large variety of celebration. In my case I thought it would be a great time to create a Christmas card... now I didn't realized at the time I made this that I would have another Christmas card the same day lol so ooops... I'm really really not missing the snow.  I just figured this would be a great opportunity to be ahead of the game! For this card I used the wonderful digi Stick Snowman.  Just love how easy it was to color.

Hello everyone!  It's already Monday morning! And this means that it's time for another challenge over at  Tammy scrapin corner ! This time our challenge is Lots of layers!  So pretty easy right?!?  We always seem to add lots! Our fabulous sponsors this week are  and  For my card I decided to get ahead of the Christmas rush and make a Christmas card.  So I used the wonderful digi X-Mas candle from SK digis.

It's time for another challenge over at OSAAT and this time it's For a Mom. When I got this challenge I was wondering what type of card I would make.  And then I came across a sentiment that made me decide which digi to choose to play with. So my digi this time is the wonderful Fairy Flutter from Beary Dust.  And this card was made thinking of my Mother-in-law who is not with us this mother's day!  I know that this day will be really hard for the entire family this year.  But I know that she is now an angel watching over us.  So it's a fairy not an angel... but to me they are very similar ;)

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at  Lacy sunshine challenge .  This time the challenge is to go monochromatic!!! Well this was quite a challenge.  I had just the perfect sentiment for my wonderful digi... but I sooo wanted to color him up in the Habs colors... you see in Montreal we are big hockey fans with the Canadians of Montreal... and well... it just wouldn't do with this challenge.  So I went with blue.  All blue so that my hubby doesn't think it was for his old Nordics from Quebec... there was a bit of a rivalry you see between Quebec city and Montreal lol.

Well goodevening everyone!  Yup it's really late for me to be doing a post... but my hubby is away at his dad so I'm all alone with the kids and I find it a lot harder to fall asleep.  So figured I might as well post a card that I had made this week. I also wanted to tell you a little more about what happened to my washer last night... Yesterday my kids were home alone since it was a ped (pedagogical) day in their school.  So before I left I started the laundry and told them to continue throughout the day and that I didn't want any clothes left when I came back. Well I received a phone call at around 9 o'clock to say that there was an issue with the washer that it wasn't emptying properly... it was still full of water.  So I gave them as much advice as I could being away... but in the end it was to be left until I would come back.  Now my hubby was supposed to be leaving last night... so I e-mailed him right away to let him know that there was an issue and t...

I've used some of it on my DDC post earlier today.. and now this... hmmm going to run out! ;)
