Hello!  It's already Friday.... picture sad face here.... it means our vacation is coming to an end.... But it's been great and it was fun being with the family without the stress of the regular life and housework and all.... Anyway I'm here to share with you some ATCs that I made with some Doodle Pantry image as well as another before the progressive challenge is over.... wow July sure passed quickly!!! The 1st is a series of 3 ATCs were I used the following sets from Doodle Pantry Chubby Chickadee Monkey Barrel Quirky Frog I used all precolored images but the background of the ATC are all handmade using either oil pastels or alcool ink. For the other ATC I used the great image for the progressive challenge over at  Deedee progressive challenge .  I used the precolored image and just fussy cut him.  I added some Jillibean soup stickers. That's it for me!  Have a great Friday. Hugs

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 ...

I've been doing ok... not better... it's the spring break and with my kids home I don't know it seems to drain me!  Too much stimuli.  Good thing that my energy is still ok... but I can see that I'm not top shape yet. I had to make my little nephew's card because his b-day is coming up (along with his twin sister).  He's all into big dump trucks!!!!  Well he's 3 :) And so I asked a fellow wonderful Canadian artist for some help to draw me a truck that would be fitting for this occasion :)  And obviously she came through!  She's soooo talented it's the great Sandy from  Scribbles designs  and the image that I used is the awesome  Dump-truck-wishes  and the sentiment  Dumping love wishes . Here's my card with this great set!

How is everyone?!?  Today I felt more like myself for the very 1st time in a long long time :)  The doctor increased my medication yesterday and I slept like a baby!  No nightmares WOOHOOO! I also got 2 more fabulous cards from blogging friends.  Getting that happy mail does bring a smile to someone's face! And well I also want to brighten up someone's day.  So I made a little friendship card super easy using the precolored great image from  Deedees digis .  Love that the set comes with precolored because it allowed me to craft and not be all tired afterwards :) It was a freebie for participating in last month's progressive challenge so just had to participate again right?!? Here's my card

OH my god!!!  I'm so totally out of it... totally forgot to post my card for the great GDT spot that I won over at  My sheri crafts .  That never happens to me... yikes.... man... I really feel like I'm losing it. At least I have an agenda and saw it... so sorry that I'm late.  Here's my card for the challenge which is let it snow. I used a great image from  Deedees digis  I'm so very sad that they will be closing their doors... :( Here's my card and I really went all out with the snowflakes.

Yes it really is a BRRR day :)  Snowing and windy.... yikes... oh well it's to be expected... it really is pretty from the inside lol I love playing at progressive challenges and this time around I was super happy with the latest over at  Deedees digis  because it's a great Brrr day set :)  I didn't use the polar bears... I used the precolored cake and I just LOOOOVE it because I need a fast little b-day card and it was perfect for this.

Hello everyone!  I'm sharing something totally different with you tonight!  I got a fabulous new set from  Crafty Secrets  for playing in last month's challenge!  And the great set that I chose (yeah there were 2 to choose from sooooooo cruel) was  Retro Kitchen Kit . So for the 1st time I decided to make a little recipe card that I could include in a card that I would send to a friend! I was also pretty lucky because I got the new set from playing at the progressive challenge of  Deedees digis  and this time it's mix it up and there was the cutest little mixing bowls precolored set included!!!!!  JUST perfect for my recipe card! So the recipe is for the icing on the carrot cake and it comes from Canadian Living website , they really have some fabulous recipes. I'm entering this little recipe card in the following challenge: Deedees digis  - Progressive challenge Crafty Secrets  - Linky party for the month of November ...

Hello everyone!  Hope you had a crafty weekend!!!!  I did check out stuff online but my mojo was off... so didn't create anything Friday nor Saturday!  So today I got up my courage and decided to tackle one of the progressive challenge before I'm too late for it! This challenge is the great  Deedees digis .  I got the set free since I had participated last month.  But you can get it in the store for a very low price. Here's my make with this super cute set.  I put the little sentiment on the little board next to the pumpkin and mouse.

And I'm back!  This time for the card that I did for the great progressive challenge over at  Deedees digis .   This time the challenge is with a fabulous little chipmunk!!!!! Since I wasn't feeling well I used precolored version.

Hello everyone!  Hope your weekend is going well so far!  I'm running out of time for the progressive challenges that I follow... so here's one this morning :)  This time it's for the great  Deedees digis . So I got this month's set for free for participating in last month's challenge.  Here's my take this time around.  I made another slider card... but this was the 1st one that I made with the silhouette Cameo... and since I didn't quite follow the directions it made it more difficult... and to top it off I wanted to hide the sentiment... so that really complicated things... anyway I think I managed pretty well in the end. Here it is with the closed version.

So in keeping with the fact that I really want to be able to participate in this month's progressive challenges before going on vacation here is my make for the awesome  Deedees digis .  Since I played last month I got this month's image free!!! The set is So Cool

That's a strange title isn't it... but that's the name of the image from  Deedees digis  that I got for playing last month's challenge. And since the sketch challenge that I followed is about to expire I better move my little butt and share with you the card!  Actually the progressive challenge is also about to expire since it ends at the end of the month... boy where did it go that month of June! Anyway here's my card with this bright and cheerful image.

Hello everyone!  How was your day?  Mine was spend cleaning... and playing taxi and arguing with my daughter since her dad is not around she just HAD to push my buttons... and me push hers I guess... I'm pretty tired so my buttons are easy to push and I'm thinking she's getting hormonal so that's also easier to push lol But finally I did get some crafty time.  I had printed and colored some images 2 weekend ago!  So finally got them made into cards.  I totally love progressive challenges so all of the cards that I did are for some of those. This 1st one is for the fabulous  Deedees digis  progressive challenge.  The set of images are totally awesome!  I used one of the precolored this time for my card.  I thought this one would be perfect for my daughter to give to her dad :)  He's always bugging her that He is the man of her life (she's now going on to 15... and well he knows he will be losing his little girl soon to another bo...

Hello everyone!  I'm here to share with you a little card that I did for the progressive challenge over at  Deedees digis .  This time the image is a little Owl and a baby one. It was the perfect image for a card that I wanted to do for my son to give to his grandpa.  He got help for an entrance French exam for Cegep here (the step between highschool and university).  So I thought it was perfect because my dad really love owls... and to me they represent wisdom.  So it's like this older owl is giving it's wisdom to the younger one.  Anyway... I digress but my dad loved it! :) And he totally got that it was Andrew and him represented this way!

Ok so I'm back to share another great card that I did this time for the fabulous progressive challenge over at  Dee Dees digis .  So because I played last month I got a great new set of images and sentiments to play with!  And I decided to use the Hatching Egg image and the Expect the uneggspected sentiment.  I just thought it was soooo cute!

Ok so as my followers know... I'm totally addicted to progressive challenges!!!  And there's a great one over at  Dee dees digis  and since I had played last month... I got the great digi this month!  And this time around it's a turtle! While going through my sentiment from  Create with TLC  I found the perfect one for this image!!!

Ok yup I know... Christmas is still far so it's the perfect time to get some cards done so that I'm ready when the time comes next year!!!! I'm playing this time at  Dee dees digis  progressive challenge.  We got the very sweet bunny for playing last time!!! And if you didn't play yet, it's only 1.25$ so really not much to get an awesome digi and a chance for a free one next month. Here's my little card

Hello!  Hope you had a great Monday!  I'm very glad it's over on this side of the world.  It was a snowy Monday lol I really hate to start my week being stuck in traffic lol So I'm here for a quick little post tonight to share with you a little card that I made to participate in the great  Deedees digis  progressive challenge!!!  I'm totally addicted to these challenges.  And this time around since I needed to make a lot of Christmas cards this weekend (15 in all for some colleagues....) I took the easy route and used the precolored digi. I really love that option when you can use a precolored digi for a fast little card. You can then concentrate on the layout! This great little set comes in color and none colored and has some great sentiment as well as a little conductor gingerbread man.  In my case I used only the engine.  And if you haven't participated yet you can get this great set for the low price of 1.5$$$  what a steal! ...

Ok did that get your attention?!?  It's kind of a weird post name right?! ;o)  I'm here tonight to share a kick post to make sure that I'm in time for the progressive challenge going on over at  Dee dees digis .  I'm using the super fun Duck (hence the name of the post lol) Yup unusual for a Christmas card... that's why I also used some unusual Christmas colors!
