Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at  Delicious doodles  and this time it's Halloween in non traditional colors. For my make I decided to make a little ATC using the fab  Halloweenie Ghostie  I really love that little image. I did some doodling around the side.   I colored with my copics and some gel pens.  I used my Quickutz oval die to cut the sentiment which comes from  Create with TLC .  The ATC was cut using my Cameo Silhouette. I'm entering this little ATC in the following challenges: Simon says stamp blog  - Anything goes Whimsy inspires  - anything goes or Halloween - doing Halloween Cuttlebug mania  - No squares - it's an ATC and I used my Quickutz oval for the sentiment That's it for this post.... there's still more to come today so hope you will be back. Hugs

Hello!  Wow where is the time going?!? It's already October 1st!  And this means it's time for a new freebie over at  The East Wind  and this time it's Dragon's tear so cuuuuuuute! I decided to make a little index card with this.  And I used my favorite TEXTURE of all at the moment which is corrugated cardbox. The background was doing with some left over paints on this.  I really love using the left overs on some index cards because it means that I have some backgrounds all ready for projects like this.  The sentiment is from a stamp and I put it on some old text book paper.  The digi was colored with my copics and I added some stickles to his great wings. I'm entering this little index card in the following challenges: Crafty gals corner challenges  - Mythical creatures/Things with wings Modsquad challenge  - Anything with wings Get creative challenges  - Fantasy Left of center challenges  - Rip it up - I ripped up the cardboard. That's it for

OMG it's almost the end of September... and now I totally realized that I had forgotten to post this fabulous image from Faery Ink the great  Layla Butterfly Fae .  What on earth happened to me that I missed this?!? I don't know.... I have no excuse other than it's been a rough time lately and I've been trying to get better and yeah lost track of time in the process?!? Who would guess right?!? Anyway here's my make with her.  I have done her ready since the month of August because she was part of my Journaling by 5s series.  I really love how she turned out!

I've been feeling down in the dump.... and I mean really really down in the dump.  I went to empty out my office on Saturday (you can imagine how it was emotionally draining and such).... and got a nail in one of my tires...... :( We were having my oldest son's girlfriend and my daughter's boyfriend over for supper that day... and I had the special visit of my dad.  It was fab that it took my mind off my issues... but that soon caught on to me actually the next day I was feeling blah and today was the pits. All I wanted to do was stay in my pjs in bed... didn't want to do anything.... and I really had to go and get my tire fixed but I didn't want too.... didn't want to do anything and I could feel the depression edging closer.... wanting to come back.... and I was ready to just let it come back with open arms and just go and crawl in a corner to cry. But then I thought how I have fought this soooooo hard and I can't give up.... it would be so very

WOW there's another fabulous new release image over at  My Whimsical little world .  And this time around it's such a sweet and fabulous image totally love Windswept. She was just perfect in my journal that I made using the Journaling by 5s.  It's one of the pages that I didn't really alter or modify after I finished it because I really love it the way it was. I did work on the left hand side however and that included putting some embossed paper, a hair bandana that was recycled. Here's a closer look at the digi that I colored with my copics.  The sentiment is from  Create with TLC I hope you have a great Monday.  I have to go and get a flat repaired on my car..... happened the day that I had to go and empty out my office..... talk about bad karma..... sure hope that now something turns around for me.... I really really really need it.... like my stress to fly away lol Hugs

If you are here for the coffee blog hop it's here . I'm trying to keep busy.... and that means doing something with myself. I have found that today I'm exhausted.... guess the news of this week is sinking in and the emotions that washed over me have left me kind a tired.... Tomorrow is emptying of my office day.... and I'm so glad that my hubby will be with me because I don't think I could just face going there alone.  Might be emotional you know?!? Anyway as I have been sharing with you since January I've been pushing myself to do new things!  And that includes doing LOTS of things that I had never done before.  Including altering books!  I've been reading lots of Mixed Media books and that brings a smile to me.  So a good way to feel somewhat better. And I've also tried to make some gifts that come Christmas I can give out and that will mean something to whoever is getting it.  This one is for my daughter (she doesn't read my blog.... and I s
