Trying to get back to crafting!

So first we had Hurricane Sandy then a week later we had a nor'easter and had almost a foot of snow!  Who thought living in Connecticut was a good idea!  I'm trying to get back into the swing of things and get some crafting done!  I did get a couple cards done today will post pics tomorrow but wanted to share a couple pictures of my fun day yesterday.  My daughter and I headed to NYC with Mark's sister and his mom to see the Rockette's Christmas Spectacular.  It was fantastic! 

I have tomorrow off so hopefully I'll get some crafting done!

Thinking of You

So I'm still battling the plague and then we had hurricane Sandy!  Our shoreline in Connecticut took an absolute beating so much devastation.  I'm towards the middle of the State and while we lost power for a few days we were very fortunate.  My folks who are just a couple miles away are hopefully going to get their power back tonight.  We have had some unbelievable weather in the last year and I am hoping we get a break.  My heart goes out to NYC, New Jersey and lower Connecticut it will be a very long recovery for these people.  I did manage to get my card in for this week's challenge at The Stamping Boutique "Thinking of You"

 I know you are probably thinking pig?  I made this card for my dad to give to my mom.  He likes to giver her cards at random times and the deal is he does work around my house that I need help with (mostly painting I hate painting) and I supply him with cards.  I definitely have the better end of the deal!  Hope everyone is having a good week, glad tomorrow is Friday this has been one long week.

Plague...

So my daughter very nicely infected me with some sort of school plague and I haven't left the house in four days, well that's a like I went to the doctor today to have her tell me I had a sinus infection and some bronchial thing.  Fantastic.  So hoping the drugs they gave me start to help I think the dog is getting sick of me taking over the couch.  So even though I've been home for three days I'm late with my lastest challenge for The Stamping Boutique post.  Halloween with pink!!

I love these little feets!!  Colored with Copics the paper is really old Close To My Heart paper.  Check out the latest challenge here!

Back To Monday

I blinked and this weekend was over and I didn't have any stamping time!  My daughter has so nicely shared her plague with me, she's feeling better and I feel like a truck has run me over.  Not sure if it's a cold or the flu but while I was awake for five minute I thought I would share a card with you.

This cutie is a digi from Whimsy and Stars that can be found on Etsy.  Colored with Copics, the paper is Doodlebug.  I hope you are having a better Monday than I am!

High Hopes Black, White And Blue

The latest challenge is up at High Hopes and guess who is the guest designer??  That's right!  So excited I won last week's challenge so I was not only did I win a stamp but the chance to be up there with their diva's!!  Here is my card

Hope everyone's week is going well.  I was so tired today I didn't know what day it was!  Hugs.

Pink Ribbons

Sorry I'm late posting for the latest challenge over at The Stamping Boutique.  This week's challenge is "Pink Ribbons" .  Here is my project. 

I used the digi image Ribbon and Rose.  This has been quite the week for me!  I won the challenge over High Hopes and at Lili's Little Fairies!!  So excited.  Hope everyone is having a good week I'm exhausted tonight and going to try to go to bed early.  Gnite!

Two Post In One Day!

I'm liking the whole house to myself, getting all sorts of stuff done!  I made this card...

Used one of the newer LOTV stamps, colored with Copics.  I'm entering it in the following challanges:

Stamp & Create Winter Wonderland
Sir Stamp A Lot Punch Away
and Lili's Little Fairies Xmas Card For The Boys

High Hopes Winter Wonderland Challenge

Happy Monday!  I'm fortunate to have today off, have spent most of it in my craft room as the house is quiet, just me, the dog and the cats!  I'm entering this card in High Hopes "Winter Wonderland" Challenge.  Love this older HH image.

Still struggling with the quality of the photos can't seem to find a good spot in this house.  Hope everyone is having a good day.

Pink Pink Pink

The new challenge is up at The Stamping Boutique...Pink, Pink, Pink for Breast Awareness Month.

I told the rest of the Design Team when I planned this card out I thought the pink would have popped off the card a bit more.  I wasn't unhappy with the card but it didn't turn out exactly how I thought.  So it's a cold, rainy day here, pretty yicky I think the leaves are going to start jumping off the trees!  Hope everyones week is good.

Finally! A Little Crafting Time

I finally got about two hours on Saturday to do some crafting but since I was also watching the second season of The Walking Dead I only made one card because I couldn't take my eyes of the show! 

I used one of my new LOTV stamps.  They are just the cutest.  Colored with Copics.  Hope everyone is off to a good start this week.  My daughter had a birthday party over the weekend she is turning 14 (eeekk shoot me now) and had friends and family Friday night, bunch of girls slept over and then they went to the homecoming dance Saturday night.  Here's pic of my girl!

Isn't she pretty??  They had a great time.  Happy Monday everyone.  Hugs
