A new decade, A new Adventure!!

 I have recently been getting back into the game and hopefully will do a better job at keeping up with blogging at this level in my life...but who knows...no one hold their breath yet!! I have began the journey on youtube and instagram as the decades have moved into a new era of platforms and social media trends. I will link my socials on the blog as soon as i can get comfy enough wandering around the blogger again. i am relearning all the tech slowly. Feel free to leave a hello and let me know you are still around. Blessings all around.

Manic Monday!

I had one day free of appts this week.. I can't believe it! That has not happened to me in a long time--usually I am free most days!! Soo I filled Monday to make it all filled this week.. lol!! I made cards to put in the guild for next weekend!

Here is a doggie bathtime card!! I had sooo much fun designing this one!! I am SOOOO loving my DS!!! I am seeing myself with a Gypsy very very soon!! I will need for days like tomorrow sitting at the guild all day!! Hmmmmmm



This one is done using the design of the fancy fold pop up card found by searching that on Youtube! I had to get a wedding card done for my daughters friend at work who is getting married next month!! Wow-- I am for once ahead of the game!!

Cards made that never got posted...

Here are some cards that I created using inspiration from blogs that I visit from time to time!

Here I welded bits and pieces together using my new DS! How fun to experiment!


Here I used the heart corner punch as a circle border punch--love that technique and fun too!


Here is my first shaped card...it turnedo ut upside down and backwards from what I had intended--practice makes better!! Still very fun!





Here are a few more cards that I made while "away" from blogging! I hope you enjoy!

Returning from a Hiatus

Hi all ~ I have been MIA for a bit now.. ohh my almost 6 months it seems! WOW I wish I could say it was soo much fun that time flew that fast! I have had some medical issues and have been down here and there! I have also had PC issues in between those which has added to the "fun"!!
I have made a few "needed" cards in that time and will attempt to try to share those if my camera will cooperate!

Here are a couple that I made for my husbands doctors that he has had to see lately.





Oh oh oh--for Mother's Day I received Design Studio and had to play--Here is the second card that I did for the doc--I used my george cart and created a guitar since my husbands request was for a rocking guitar card for his male doc who is in a band. This is what i came up with following a card from Jeannie's blog using IA cart, which I don't have--YET! Sorry about the quality of the photo... my camera is being nasty!

Happy Spring --Sketch 47 Challenge

I made this card based on the sketch from Card Patterns.
I really loved this sketch and was happy with the overall card as well!! This is only my second or third entry for a card ever! I have made some in the past but never enter them in time for one reason or another!!

Thanks for looking! I hope you will be inspired to try out this sketch too.

Hurry to play along the deadline for posting/entering is:
