There's a new fan page challenge over at the FB group  Simply Betty  and you will totally love love love those new digis and I'm sure that you will as well! So it's about Zombies vs normal and it's Victorian images vs Zombie ones!  How cool right?!? The 1st make that I'm doing is with Victorian Betty.

I'm here today with 2 makes for the Show your digi love !  I couldn't resist making a few :)  I figured I would get a Christmas make at the same time. This month we want you to celebrate SBS, Slinky Tart and Paper Shelter Here's my 1st make using  Zombie Babe Betty  from Simply Betty.  I thought she would be perfect in my altered children book about coffee! On this I used some acrylic paint.  I added some great washi tape that my wonderful friend Erin gave me!  I did some stenciling with my Dylusions skulls small.  I used my ice chai gelato on the sentiment.  I also added some book text that I had used to empty my brush with.  I love the look that it gives to the paper afterwards.  I used my big white pitt pen afterwards.  The sentiment that I used with this comes from  Create with TLC . Here's a closer look at the great digi colored with my copics( E41,E42, E43,E55, BV13,BV08,BV02,BV01,BV000,BV0000, R...

Hello everyone!  I'm here to share with you my midway post for the Rosey Hearts Challenge ! It's a super easy one it's things with wings! I have made a few little aprons and I had one that was left over.  My youngest son was super excited to be able to get it :)  So I made this on specially for him with his name and such using a super cute little image from Rosey Hearts called Dragon . I figured this would be different from the usual stuff and it's something with wings right?!? :) Here's my son wearing the apron (I don't like to share pictures of my kids online so his face is missing lol) I colored up the image using my copics.  Then I scan it and printed it on a transfer sheet so very fast and super easy!

Oh my world... I've become the worst blogger EVER!  I'm doing what the doctor told me to do which is nothing if that's what my brain is feeling like doing... but in the process I have totally become ADDICTED to this Youtube channel  it's from a fellow Canadian and she just has the most amazing and cheapest ways of doing things!!!  Now I want to try it all out.. the only issue is that I've got no energy to do it lol But it's good for my soul to watch this.  However because of this I haven't been blogging much and I didn't blog this journal that I made this weekend.  YUP still journalling because it's good for me to put stuff on paper.  I'm finding out that this is really good for my soul as well. And of course it's a great way to get messy!!! For this journal I used the great image from Rosey Hearts called Vivian .  I really love that image it totally reminded me of my daughter and well the teenage attitude that goes with her lol And i...

It's time for a new challenge over at  Top Tip Tuesday  and this time around the challenge is about a Duo. Our awesome sponsor is  And here is my make and tip for you using  A star is born   And my duo is the shepherd and it's sheep. Tip: Don't try to create something when your cat really really really wants to cuddle I did manage to get it done :)

Hello everyone!  It's Monday and it's time for a new release over at My Whimsical little World , I'm using a super sweet Mermaid that you can find here .  There's actually 3 mermaid images being released! There's also a great freebie  here . And of course you also have a few days left to play with the progressive challenge over on the FB group in order to get the next month's image free!!!!  And the image I love you this much for this month is only 1$ so no reason not to participate!!!! I had so much fun creating this little card and doing this fun scenery!

I'm here to share with you a little journal page that I made using the fab new digi that you can get at  Faery Ink . You can read more about what Amanda is doing for them :) here . I thought this would be great inspiration and I was not mistaken.  I got all dirty with my new Brushos I used the Turquoise and the Emerald green (got a feeling that I will be emptying those faster than the others)

I'm back!  This time to share a project that I made and that includes 2 images for progressive challenges that I participate in.  I don't want to miss this and cutting it close to the deadline... that seems to be my new me!  Always last minute....  It's more the blogging that takes time and well don't do it as much! For this I followed the fab tutorial from Paola Joffre that you can find here.  If you haven't subscribe to her videos you really should they are super interesting and you learn lots.  You should also join the My Whimsical little world FB group it's a riot in there. This album will be for my stepmom.  So I'm sharing the inside and will be sharing the top for a DT post later on. As you know if you have followed me my stepmom loves coffee and rabbits :) So I used an image of a rabbit that was part of the trio of images from the Heart stamps last month as part of the progressive challenge.  The little girl with coffee is from ...

Hello everyone! I've gotten totally HOOKED to doing some mixed media!  It's so fun and dirty lol  For this inspiration post over at SLS lines  I'm sharing something I made using   Zombie Lady .  I thought she would be perfect for my little altered children book about coffee!  And let's just say this is nothing like a child's book now :) Let's be honest... lots of us would look like zombies if we didn't have some coffee in the morning... and even then bwahahahaha

Hello everyone!  It's a sad day for us... it's the service of my FIL and while my family is there to celebrate the great man that he was I'm at home because with the depression it's not good right now for me to be under too many emotions... my brain seems to end up going crazy afterwards.  So I did the right decision and staying home but I'm sad. Anyway that's not why you are here right?!?  You are here because I am posting a little card for Doodle Pantry .  This time around I'm getting ahead of the Christmas time.  I'm trying to do a few a month this way I will have plenty when it comes Christmas :) The set that I used this time around is  Merry Deer I just think this set is so elegant! The sentiment is from  Salutations françaises   It's my go to set for all occasions love it! Here's my card with the precolored digi

If you have seen my latest posts you know that I sort have become hooked with mixed media.  Funny because I never wanted to have anything do to with that before... and look at me now... but I still do make cards and today that's what I'm sharing with you a sweet little card made for the  Sparkle and Glitter blog For this card I used the awesome  Barbette  she really made me think of spring!

Hello!  It's Thursday and I have NOTHING planned today!  I will be resting and doing what the doctor, psychiatrist and psychologist tell me to do!  With the exception that the psychiatrist said I have to stop giving stress to my brain.... I need to let it rest... that means no stress.... if something stresses me out I'm not supposed to do it.  Just as if I was in a hospital.... man that is HARD for a Mom of 4 kids to just do NOTHING.... and not stress about that... lol  And that's what he said "I would tell you to relax but then you will stress about relaxing" bwahahahaha is he a mind reader?!?  Guess he did know what he was talking about. Anyway enough about me I'm here to share with you my little post for the reminder of the FB challenge going on over here  and the challenge is anything goes with a use of Oddball image!  So no reason not to come and play with us!!!! For my make I used the super cute  Image 148

Hello everyone!  It's time for the new release over at SLS Lines !  And for this one I decided to use 2 images the Tired Coffee lady and Wine lady .  I thought it would be perfect for my little cardboard book that I'm making with some coffee quotes. I had so much fun making this layout.  I used my Decoart paint for the background.  Then I used my Metallic gold embossing paste with my crafter's workshop mini 4 flowers stencil. I then sprayed this all with some dylusion ground coffee spray.  I added some washi tape and did the doodling with my FaberCastel dark Sepia pen.  I used my fancy tag 2 die and fussy cut all the images and the sentiments are from   Create with TLC   and from  Ginger's house and this is the other page of the cardboard book I'm entering this little book in the following challenges: Pinspirational challenges  - Anything goes Not just cards challenges  - anything goes Stamp and create blog ...

It's time for the midway post over at  Paradise of stamps  and this time around it's about bling.  This will be my last make for this team!  It's been a pleasure to be part of this team!   I'm looking forward to playing with you guys! For my make I decided to use  Mother's love  from artidoodle/Delicious Doodle Etsy store.  I just adore Teri's images :) I had a request for a newborn baby card and thought this would be totally awesome for it.

Big hello to everyone!  Hope all is well in your part of the world.  I'm doing again a little monochromatic card for the Art by Mi Ran Inspiration post .  I figured it's fun to challenge myself :) I really didn't know what sentiment to use with  Cowgirl Bonnie  and then I had one made just for this image!  I think it's just perfect for her. Somehow to me it's a lot easier to make a cowgirl monochromatic.... don't know if you think so but to me that screams browns and such.

Wow it's been a rough month.... with my Father-in-law in the hospital and passing and then I had to get my little dog Chanel put to sleep yesterday because she wasn't well..... It's been harder with my depression.... just seemed to be all bad news all the time. But yesterday when I was at the vet for Chanel I saw a beautiful little cat (turning 1 this July) that was still waiting for adoption.  He's this little bundle of raw energy!  Wanting to explore and super cuddly.....  I just had to bring him home.  Now the rest of the pets are upset with me..... Hope that they will adapt like they have to the other family members.  But I have to say that he brought a smile to me that I hadn't had in a long time.  Kinda hard to be sad when there's something purring like a tractor beside you! Figured I would use this quiet day on my blog to post my card for the progressive challenge of DeeDee Anderson . Here's my little card  I used the precolored image and ...

It's time for the midway post over at  Path of Positivity Challenge  and this time around our sponsor are: It's been a really really hard day today..... I had to get our little dog Chanel put down.... and yeah.... it's been super hard.  But the vet did have some cats that needed to be adopted.... so I figured this would be a great new addition to the family.  So Leonard now joined the family.  The cats and dogs are thinking that we are nuts.... but so did all the others ones before them.... so... lol The image that I used this time around is  Gert and Eun   She reminded me of my amazing friend Cinzia.  I figured that as older friends this is what I would like to be later on!!!!!  We will be on a beach and just enjoy the time together.  So I did a page with her in mind.

Well there's a fab new release over at My Whimsical little world and I'm sharing one of the new images with you she's called Baked with love . Don't forget there's still time to enter our progressive challenge going on at the FB group here .  And there's a fab freebie cupcake image on the blog!!!!  So check that out :) I used this fab image to make a little gift to my beautiful little niece Stella :)  I just thought it would be an awesome little gift for her that would be unique.  I made one for her brother as well but you will only see that one this summer because I used it for a challenge DT make :)

I'm here to share with you a fabulous make that I did for the great  Rosey Hearts Challenges  and this time around we did a little challenge with all the DTs and decided to use  the same image in different ways :) Here's my make with the fab Up Do

Well I'm all into the journaling and that new release All you need is from  The East Wind I thought this would be pretty awesome on this journal page and quite nice compared to all the other ones that I have done recently.

This post is a special one made for a great DT friend Katya Bess !  It's her b-day today and I just HAD to make a little card for her!  I wasn't sure that I would make it.... because it's been a pretty hectic time but I really wanted to make her something so hope she likes it!  It's now on it's way to her! :) To make this I used the great Zumbalicious Katya from Simply Betty

I'm late I'm late for a very important date.... yeah yeah... I know you know where it comes from but yeah... I'm late... I'm usually never late!  But let's just say that this week's been really really hard... and I dare to think that Sandy would excuse me being late this time around.  It's time for a new challenge over at  Scribbles designs challenge  and it's Spring has sprung. In keeping with my desire to do other stuff than cards I made a little ATC this time around!  I used the super cute  Butterfly mason jar .  It was really fun because it's a small digi... not much coloring when you aren't feeling up to it! Isn't it cute?!?  The ATC based was made with my Cameo Silhouette.  I used some washi tape the background paper is from Creative memories.  I used my Nellie's oval for the sentiment. I'm entering this little spring ATC in the following challenges: 2 crafty girls challenges  - Anything goes Crafty cardmakers ...

Hello!  It's time for a new SEXY challenge over at  Karleigh Sue Challenge  and for this one I played with the super sexy  Naughty Santa .  The challenge is Foolish Thoughts so that can be a lot of stuff... :) I decided to play and journal with her :)  I printed the image twice so that I could decoupage the hand section and play with it with an added sentiment hidden under the main list and you can see the little button and twine to lift it up.

Hello everyone!  It's already the midway point for the progressive challenge of  Sparkle and Glitter  and even if you haven't been playing you can purchase the cute little digi to play this month here.  She's called Aloha Nui . I just love love love this image!  I wasn't sure what colors to use for her dress... so I searched the net and found this image and it was my starting point. I've been doing that a lot lately to get inspiration for colors that I use.  And I'm quite happy with the result.

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at  The East Wind  and this time it's about fibers. To me that sounded right away about a bird!  So I made a double spread in my journal with the image  Peace

There's a new Tuesday Solo and just in time for all your Mother's day card!  You can see more inspiration on the  Simply Betty Stamps blog  and you will be able to find this fab image over in the store in this section here Here's my make with this great image.  She was a pleasure to color as always.  I totally went layering nuts on this card.

Hello everyone.  It's time for a new challenge over at  Top Tip Tuesday .  It's a good thing I'm not last minute because I don't  think I would have been able to craft this time around.... I don't mess a lot of my makes up but the death of my Father-in-law as been hard for my family and well my mind hasn't been much on crafting. But the good news is that I had this prepared sometime ago so I still get something to share with you all. The great sponsor for this challenge is Tip:  Little word sticker sentiment can be the perfect way to finish a simple little ATC.  In this case I used many that I had from left over projects and it was the perfect finishing touch.
