Here's my Art by Mi Ran image 1st the Sweet Claire

It's time for a new challenge over at  Tip Top Tuesday  and this time around it's Mellow Yellow!  That's pretty easy with Easter right around the corner. Our fabulous sponsor for this is   And for my make I'm using the super cute  4 spring chicks My tip for you this time around is  Cupcake cups can make some pretty inexpensive and fun flowers with some bling and buttons as the centers!

For this make I decided to make a little ATC to play with the great challenge of Wicked Wednesday ATC.  I totally don't make enough ATCs anymore... they are so fun and use so much of my scrap materials......

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...

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!!!

I'm so very sad... .this is my last DT inspiration day with you for Meljen's Designs . As you know Meljen's is closing down so make sure you grab those digis you love before they are gone!!!!! Hope your week as been good so far?  I'm sharing as my last post the inside of a special card that I did for my little niece Stella.  I had decorated the inside of the card of her twin brother!  So I needed to do the same for her right?!? So here's my make with the super cute  Party Penguin Here's my card's inside :)

It's the new release from The East wind  and this time around the new release is super sexy!!!!  It's Twisted venus in my dreams! I thought this would totally make a fabulous journal layout!!!!! And here it is in my :

OMG did you see my blog?!? it's sooooooo me!!!!!! I'm sooooo lucky to be on Rosey hearts challenges !!!! I get to have my blog designed by the fabulous Melissa Stevens!!!!  did you see what she did with my blog?!?!?!  It's soooo ME!!!!  I'm overwhelmed!!!!  So excited and happy!!!! I can't even properly express it!!!! And if you join in to the FB group you can also possibly win a makeover!!!!! How fabulous right?!?  The group is here. And being part of her team means I'm also allowed to play with some great digis!  So I gave her a challenge... to Challenge me with the next digi that I would use!  And the one that she gave me was just sooooo easy, it's Kiss me !!!! So while she was working like crazy on my blog... I was working on this fun page... and just having yeah... .FUN!!!!!!

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.

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 ...

So what have you guys been up too?!? Coloring some Mi Ran images I hope hee hee hee. This month the team here is being challenge to do unusual hair color! I had so much fun with my previous make that I did the theme again. I have to say as well that I liked to be challenged :) It's a great way to get out of my regular crafting. I had so much fun with the super cute Davina turned out. I think she is so very dreamy!!! Of course you could do the regular hair color and she would be awesome as well.

There's a fab new SVG set out on  Doodle Pantry  it's called Card Cut Punctuate It.  It's really awesome and so easy to use on your Cameo Silhouette! I used the fab set  Topiary Season Colored plus  for the image Here my card with the great Christmas image.

It's my turn to give you some inspiration for our awesome Pastel challenge that you can find  here  over at  Karleigh sue challenge .   I used the great image  My bunny Sweater .  I really really had so much fun with this image. Here is my pastel version to remind you to play with us!!!!

WOW I'm soooo lucky to have such fabulous online friends!   One is like a little sister for me!  It's Erin She has become really close to my heart and started a whole perk up Vicky on FB... and then she got a fab image commissioned for me from Betty you can find it in the store here .  Betty could not have done an image that would better represent me!!!!  So I really wanted to do something special with it.  And I made a journal page in my mixed media journal. I used as inspiration quite a few things.... I started out with some Sico paint samples that represent my favorite colors.    I also used a great saying that was sent to me by my SIL!!!!!  Thank you JA it was perfect for this!

oh my... I'm almost late to participate in the sketch challenge over at  From the heart sketch .  I used their sketch to make a little Easter card with one of their images from the progressive challenge!!! Here's my make just IN time :)

Hello everyone!  It's time for the new release over at  Sls lines digital stamps .  They are some pretty fun images!!!! For my make I used the super cute  Dragonfly trio  and made a little trio of ATCs.  So fun to make and great way to use some of my scraps!

It's time for a new challenge over at  Faery Ink group  and this one it's a perfect SPRING challenge!!! It's Pastels!!!! For this challenge I'm using the super cute  Bubble Fairy Queen .  I totally fell head over heels in love this digi!!!!  My daughter (well me too) just loves dragons so this is a great excuse for me!

It's time for the midway post over at  Paradise of stamps  and this time around the challenge is pretty easy... it's CAS!!!! When I saw this great new set from  Scribbles design called when crap happens  I just KNEW this was the set that I really really really wanted to use!!!!

It's time for the midway post of Open Minded Crafting Fun Challenge !  The challenge this time around is about Winter getaway!!!  And yes I would totally take one!!!!  It's snowing yet again here.... :/ The fabulous sponsor are , ,  ,  and  For my make I decided to make a little tag using the very adorable  Roxy Ice cream colored .  I want to be on a beach like her!

I had so much fun making this! It's for my inspiration post over at Sparkle and glitter with rick blog If you have followed me this year so far you know that I have totally become a stalker of  Bonnie  I want to try to make other things then cards that end up sitting in boxes!!!!  So for this make I decided to use a great frame that I got at a bargain at HomeSense (our TJ MAX for the American friends). And I used the super cute  Daffo Dill Fairy . So here's how I colored her with copics: I was pretty happy with my coloring... And then I put her in the frame....

OHHHHH I just looove Bunnies!!!!  What can I say I have had 2 actually and gave one of them to my stepmom when one of hers passed on.  Mine was all grey... and was called Frosty. Here's my make with the cute little Larry Lapin done by Rick St-Dennis but now available at I brake for stamps I think my coloring of this rabbit has shown an improvement?!?  What do you think?

Oh my... such a sad day on my blog... not only am I going to see the woman doctor (hate doing that) today but it's also the very last challenge over at Meljen's that I will be DT for.... after that only one inspirational post and that's it! For this time around it's a recipe challenge: 1 image, 2 papers and 3 embellishments!  So to me this was the perfect time to do a Christmas card! Here's my make using the fab  Sending Christmas

Ohhhh there's some fab digis from Rick St-Dennis under the name of Randi Dandi over at  I brake for stamps  and one of them is the fabulous  Alice with Tea Cup Here's what I created with her.  I realized after that I had mistaken her bandanna for hair... talk about an idiot.... oh well.... I still think it turned out cute! I went with some really bright colors because that's what Alice in wonderland means to me!  And I hunted all over my stash of paper to find the teacup one :)  I knew I had some... the question was WHERE!

Hello everyone!  I'm here to share with you a little make that I did for my husband calendar at Christmas time.  I figured this awesome set from Doodle Pantry was perfect for this July calendar page because here in Canada July 1st is Canada day so red and white is the proper colors for that!!! The set that I'm using is  Smooth sailing And here's the page that I made with it

It's time for a new challenge over at Tip Top Tuesday .  This time around it's about using Buttons or Bows. For this make I used the great  Dandelion Butterflies  from Bugaboo Stamps one of the sponsors for this forthnight challenge. And I have a little tip to share with you for this challenge! Tip: Buttons can make fabulous centers to flowers and make them have more dimension.

The challenge over at  Path of positivity challenge  is serendipity and I'm here to share my midway post. Our fabulous sponsors this time around are: , ,   and  And this time I'm using a digi from Sami Stamps called With You . I thought it would be perfect for the serendipity moment that I was going to share with you.  Back when I was in university I had lots of fun going to the student pub on Thursday, Friday or Saturday nights.  But that Saturday I didn't feel like going out.  It was March 16th of 1991, 24 years ago today!  My friend convinced me that we should and that I would have fun. 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 th...

There's a brand new release over at  My Whimsical little world  and I'm sharing with you the adorable Geisha !!! Just before I do that however I want to remind you of 2 things!  The 1st one is that there's a great progressive challenge going on over at the FB group and if you participate you will get next month's image FREE (and it's adorable).  My other reminder is that there's a great freebie on the blog!  So go on and get it... well after you have read my post that is! Ok so here's my very CAS make with this sweet little Geisha .  I thought the paper was just so very pretty that it would be sad to cover it up and she just looked perfect in the center of it!

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!

The newest challenge over at Scribbles Challenge is Feline Frenzy!  That's totally awesome because there are so many fabulous felines in the Scribbles store!  You should go and check it out! For my make I used the fab Cat Movo .  I figured it would be perfect for the November also known as Movember :)  For the calendar that I made my hubby.

It's time for a new challenge over at  Karleigh Sue Challenge  and this time it's about lace!  Appropriate for a sexy challenge right?!? I used the fab  Glama  for this make. Here's my 2 page journaling with this sexy image.  I thought it would be a great time to use some of my lace (I have some very large black lace that I can't really use on cards that I thought would be awesome with this image).

Hello!  I'm here to remind you that there's 15 more days to participate in the great  Sparkle and Glitter progressive challenge .  The challenge this time is spring and if you participate you get next month's image for FREE!!!!  That should be pretty awesome incentive to participate! For my make I decided to make a little easter gift for my stepmom.  She just adores rabbits!  So I used one of the fab rabbits from RSD called Whack.a.doo Easter bunny The frame was purchased on clearance at Homesense (our equivalent of TJ Maxx)  

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at  The East wind  and this time around it's about spring.  I don't know if you are like me but I'm very much looking forward to spring finally being there! I have recently discovered mixed media due to my friend Bonnie!  She makes such fabulous art and I wanted to try it out.  This is what I made with the great image  Twisted venus Hairnest .  She really reminds me of spring with the little birds coming out to play and nest!

WOW there's a bunch of new images being released today!!!  And wow they are so gorgeous!    It's a fab line of Geishas from  Simply Betty  and you can find them in the store here .  And they are LIMITED!!!  So you totally WANT to get them while they are available! When I saw them... well I just had to create with them ALL.  So this is a post with lots of pictures you have been warned :) I took out my favorite paper packs as well for this because it required some awesome Asian papers!  The 1st one that I'm sharing is done with Cherry Blossom Geisha.  I really love how she makes me think of spring!!! The paper for this one is from Basic Grey Knonnichiwa.  I colored her up based on some of colors from the paper.  Like the little turquoise bird on the right.  I used my Nesting ovals from Quickutz.  I added some flowers from my stash and some bling from Darice as well as a little lace.  The corner die is...
