It's time for a new release of images from  The East Wind  this new one is called Twisted Venus - Beautiful.  It's a semi nude woman but sooooo gorgeous.  I just HAD to play with her because I had the perfect friend to send this to!!! You see I have this GORGEOUS (and I totally do mean gorgeous) friend.  She's gorgeous inside and out.  But all she sees is the stereotypical view of herself and she doesn't see how stunning she is.  It's sad that there's so much emphasis on being a tiny woman now.  It hasn't been this way through all the ages.... and it's sad... because not every woman is made to be skinny... some like my friend are just GORGEOUS the way they are!  And don't get me wrong I get that you need to be healthy.  But I do think you can also be healthy and heavier than what we see in magazine.  And being a full woman I think can be truly sexy. So enough said, when I found my sentiment on  Ginger's house  I just knew I had to create this

There's a new release image over at  The East Wind .  And it's a Lucy Loo!!!  Just love this character because she's so untypical and so easy to use with some sentiments that I love!  I really wish I could be more like her and not care what others think!!!!

Hello!  I'm here to share with you my midway post for  Path of Positivity , the challenge this time is about uniqueness. The fabulous sponsors are ,  ,   and  For this post I was pretty lucky because I had already a make that was perfect for this using a fab image from  Ike's Art  called  Muse 3 .  It's a tag that was done for a swap but that I had never blogged!  That's a good thing because these days I'm not making lots of crafty stuff... And it was perfect to share with the uniqueness challenge.  I made this thinking that being normal is probably not the best... and that being different can have it's value :)  Right now I'm far from being normal... and unfortunately I really long for it lol oh well.

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at  Faery Facebook Group  and this time our fabulous freebie is an owl.  WOW I just LOOOOVE that one.  Well if you are a follower of mine you know that I make lots of cards for my dad using those.... So here's what I did with the great Hoot the owl.

Hello!  I decided to give myself some coloring therapy... That's what the doctor had said that I should do!  It really does help to calm the mind!!! And I had just the perfect image for it.  It's the new one from the progressive challenge over at  Sparkle and glitter with rick .  Of course if you didn't play last month you won't get it for free but you can still purchase it here . Here's my creation with this image.  I printed it twice to do some decoupage.

It's time for a new challenge over at  Digi choosday .  This time our challenge for you is Vintage! I don't do a lot of Vintage... so for my card I decided to do a duo of things that I don't do a lot of... which is manly cards and vintage/retro.  I decided to use the fabulous  Work and play collection 2  with the office colored and the papers that go with it! I mean isn't it obvious that we would all like a day off?!? So to me this little guy looked perfect for the 50s and wanting to have a little holiday so his little paper could be saying that it's a day off :)  How fabulous would that be?!?

Hello everyone!  It's Friday!  That's good news right?!?  And I'm here to share my 1st post as a DT for  Sls lines digital stamps And this time our challenge for you is Ladies! So for my card I used the fabulous image  Flamenco-dancer-spanish-dancer .  Don't know about you but for me Flamenco = red... yeah... maybe weird... but just think of spanish as hot blooded and like the bull fights... red! Anyway enough on that lol here's the card that I made with this great image.  I went over the top for me for this card... really a lot of embellishments...  

Hello everyone!  It's time for me to give you a little inspiration from Doodle Pantry . For my make I used a great image from the fabulous set Kitchen Clutter I wanted to make a card for my stepmom :)  She really really loves coffee so this was a great set for her.  And I went the lazy way and used a precolored image.

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at  A Song in your He{art} .  This will be my last challenge as a DT!!!!  It's been great fun and I'm looking forward to playing as a participant next time!!! This time around the fabulous sponsor is Our inspiration song is: And for my card I used the super cute Audrey and AJ on the bench.

Hello!  Have I intrigued you with this title?!  If I did it was done on purpose.  As you know I really adore playing along at  Dilly beans challenge  and this time around the challenge is about you! So because I was the winner last time I got to pick some great digis and I pick this one especially to play in this challenge!  I figured that when you reveal stuff about yourself it's like lifting a mask right?!?  Yup I was in one of those very thoughtful mood rofl :) So here's my make with her.  I know that I have shared 2 green cards back to back... but I've been in a really really pink mood recently (you don't know yet because you haven't seen the DT cards... but trust me I have).  So this make just had to go with some pinks! Ok and why is it revealing a lot about me?!?  well the sentiment says it all I'm not too flexible... lol  When I organize stuff I really really want it to go the way that I planned it... when it doesn't I don't like it (nice wa

Let's start off by saying a HUGE hello to my latest follower!!!  Now at 598 only 2 away from the 600 mark!  woohooo :) So I'm here this time to share with you a little creepy make... but not totally creepy either so that's why it's here and not on my other blog lol  I'm using the great Creepy girl 3 from  PPinky Dolls Art .  I just found her so adorable with that little pet skeleton monkey... and just found the greatest sentiment to go with her from  ginger House .  I mean... if this is not crazy walking with a skeleton pet... don't know what would be lol So here's my card!

Told you I would be back!  And this time it's for another cutie from  Dilly Bean .  The no DP challenge was too hard to resist since I have hardly any supplies while camping... it was just the perfect challenge for me... and let me have fun coloring! So this time I used the very cute 197 Framed bumble bee girlie and I went with a bumblebee theme!  Could have also been a wasp theme... my daughter was stung by one while I was coloring yesterday... :(  She's ok... but they are really annoying.. we don't  have a lot here on the campground but just enough I guess...

Hello everyone!  I'm here to share with you a card that I did for the new challenge over at  The East Wind Challenge .  Our challenge for you this time is Humour!  So it's time to share with us your twisted sense of humour or sarcasm or just plain funny :) I used the great image  Lucy Loo Heart Lips  for my card and paired it with a sentiment from  Ginger house .  I thought it was perfect for this and pretty humorous.

Hello everyone!!!  There's a new challenge over at The East Wind FB challenge  And you will want to play along!!!!

How's everyone?!  I'm resting and not doing much at all... but that's the whole point isn't it... just not used to it lol There's a great new image out at  The East Wind .  It's again in support of Kyra's friend Ashley who's going to go through Chemo soon... So please go and check them out!!!  All profit will go for Ashley!!! I really love this character because, well she's got shape like most women do!!!!  And she's willing to show them! So here's my take using the new Ashley Ghetto - I love my life I figured this needed to be a bright card!  Like her personality!!!

Hello everyone, it's Thursday!  And this means another challenge over at  Creative Knockouts .  This time our challenge for you is Get punchy! So use your punches... now... yes I know... if you look at mine I have used die cuts... hanging my head in shame... sorry... missed out on that one.  I was inspired and then realized that I missed the mark :( Our great sponsor this week is: I used a the great Howdy pilgrim.  I thought it was perfect for this time of year!  I just find this one soooo funny.

Hello my friends!  How was your Saturday?!?  Mine was spent being a taxi driver!! My hubby is gone with my youngest to see his dad.  So I was alone to do the driving... my daughter had a scout activity today so drove her to it... and picked her up and then my oldest son had a driving class exam so drove him and picked him up... I also managed to do some cleaning and cooking... And finally some me time!!!  Crafting! So I'm here to share with you a little card I made with the great freebie of  Smeared and smudged .  It's the Freekie Freebie.  I had printed him for awhile and never got around to creating with him.  So I was happy to finally do so!

Hello everyone!  Hope you had a wonderful Saturday.  I had fun, went to do some errands with my daughter  Megan this morning.  Then my son Gregory cooked us lunch ;)  Trying to get them to be self sufficient... so he cooked grilled cheese.  With the help of his older brother Andrew.  William is with his dad so he didn't get to contribute to the family chores. Then I had some play time including this card.  And it was time for supper with my dad who is here for a little visit!!!  So happy with the family time ;)  Feels really good to be able to enjoy it a bit. So back to this card, I saw a post on my friend Sassy Raggedy's blog about a Freebie challenge with a great image.  Just had to join in!  And this is my take with the great Searching.
