Snowy Monday...

    ...and not my favorite weather, by an stretch of the imagination.   Not to mention that the forecast called for a bit of "spitting" snow and looking out, I can see that the ground is almost covered already..I guess this may be a bit of "Ocean Effect" snow, which we can often have here on the coast.

    The perfect day to say in all day, light a nice fire and rest...but I do have to venture out later for my bi-weekly lab work up at the Oncology department.   For now, I am enjoying some "creative" time in my craft-room and have two new challenge cards to share!
     My first card was created today's brand new "Something New" challenge be hosted over on the Simon Says Stamp - Monday Challenge Blog!

    My fun little "Purple Valentine" was created using one of my brand new "Die Cuts' part of the Exclusive line at SSS.   This die is called, "Sweetheart Tag" and it is adorable -  Love it.  I cut it first in lavender and then again in white and used the white to layer on top.  I colored some of the heart with a clear Wink of Stella marker and then added a touch of Glossy Accents.  I popped the tag up on a white doily and added a little lavender ribbon, and I was done.
    My second card was created for the new "Greeting Card Challenge" over at "The Outawz Group" where today's challenge was to incorporate a "tree" on your card.  I started with a sweet little Digi Image from Meljen Designs, printed it on out quality cardstock and then colored it with my Copics, some Glitter, Stickles and more Glossy Accents.  My sentiment is a favorite and is favorite and you can find it over at Hero Arts.  

    Before I go, I am very happy and excited to tell you all that I have decided to want to get back to designing and I am in the early stages of looking for open Design Team Calls.  If you know any group that is hosting a call for looking for new team members or guest designers, please let me know.   Now that I am feeling better, I am loving creating again and very much want to be part of a team again!  I have been on several teams over the years and you'll find the names of dates of each team on my "Design Team" Tab Here!

  Thanks for thinking of me and thanks as always for stopping by!

Ugg....I hate snow and ice...although I'd hate to live somewhere where we didn't have it, so, hmmm....I'm just odd I guess. LOL I have trouble walking if it's the least bit slick, and I worry about hubby now, with him just having his knee replaced...so I'm REALLY looking forward to spring THIS year for sure! I'm thankful we aren't getting snow today though, since we have a dr appointment for his knee tomorrow...and it's two hours away.

Good luck getting back on some teams! Glad you are feeling better so you want to, I'm sure it's fun to be on some! :-))

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
