Mystery Solved

***Please scroll down for my Can Tou Digi It? Post!***


While the other 'Mystery' swappers from SCS were busy posting yesterday, I held off a day because of new DT duties!

The mystery swap this month was hosted by Darlene and she challenged us with a D Morgan stamp! It is gorgeous; and I can only hope I 'did good' on this one!! I didn't even need to beg for extra immies like in the past. Must be all good, huh?




Thanks for stopping by! Must set and forget this...well, the setting part needs to be done since my eye lids are drooping!


OH MY GOODNESS, I forgot to mention that the flower came all the way from Australia as a little gifty from Lauren!! Thank you so much for them, my friend!!

Can You Digi IT? GRAND OPENING

I am so HAPPY that I am sorry you cannot see me hopping up and down while making this post!!  Today is the day I have been waiting for since the first of the year!!  Okay, it has only been a couple of weeks, but keeping a secret that long is hard!

I am here to tell you about Can You Digi It?  This is a brand new store that pride's itself on being crafter-friendly!!  What more could a card maker ask for!  The store has a bit of everything and is growing by the day!  I must say that you will see me stepping a bit out of my box by using some digital papers and added bling...but, the prices are great and I can't wait to see where my creativity goes!!

To jump start your creativity and to show you some of the fun you can have with the IT girls, let's hop!!!!  The complete list of hoppees is below my creation!  

I have used one of the Retro Garden Fairies for my card! My husband has affectionately named her Judy!  She is surrounded by some of  her floral handiwork!  I sure hope come Spring she will be at my house to help with my flowers (thank goodness my husband enjoys working outside, because my brown thumb is no help)!

The sale/coupon ends Friday, January 27th when Michelle, the owner, gets on the plane for CHA. Make sure you are a C.Y.D.I? Twitter follower to get all the updates from CHA!

While checking out the goodies and making a purchase, keep in mind that the first challenge by the IT girls has been thrown down!  You will see my creation later in the week.....so stop back by!

First Duel of the New Year!

The Dazzlers were hosted this month by Melina (the Divas by Joan) and our theme was 'the little things'.

The first thing to come to mind....helping one another...it's just the little things.... Probably not what anyone else thought of, but hey...it was what I thought of {next came sweat...or to not sweat, the little things}!

We were sent three different little immies and asked to make sure one of each made it to our card.....I seem to have lost my spec sheet somewhere in my cleaning and organizing spree, so check Melina's blog for them!

Our other challenge was to make a witty sentiment....hope mine qualifies!



Make sure to stop by the other blogs to see who "wins" the duel this month!

Have you broken it yet?

Your New Year Resolution, that is....

I can't say that I sat down and made any resolutions, but my family is working at eating healthier and becoming happier for it!

The team over at Crafting When We Can had the holidays off and we are back showing off projects for the new year!

Stamping Boutique was wonderful enough to share the image (and others) on my card! I went with a very retro feel....looking for happiness and peacefulness in 2011!!!


I hope y'all get a chance to play with us this fortnight! That's two weeks....betcha have a bit of time to give it a shot! ;-)

Happy New Year

It has been a couple of days, okay four, since I ave posted..... I would love to say it was a Andover, but alas NOT! I have been crafting (Kels, I have a big secret this time!), but just now finding tie to post!

This is for SOTC over at SCS. Our hostess this time around is Judy and she challenged us to make an inspirational card which included a picture of ourselves. YIKES!



I didn't use any DP, but did use my picture as my background paper, so to speak. I found the quote using Google and embellished based on it. The flowers stamps are from Friendship Blooms by SU!

What do you think?
