I am now on the new DT for Sew Many Cards

I am so excited to be on this DT. Angela has some of the cutest images. Well this is the first week and ding dong me didn't realize it until this morning when I got online. So I whipped up this card and isn't he just adorable. Just wait until you see what other we have in store for you this month.

So I colored this adorable tiger with my copics, of course, and then I decided to do something a little new to me and made a gate fold card. This great paper is from BoBunny, and yes I splurged and bought a couple of pieces of new paper.....I know, shame on me, but it has been a really long time tince I bought any paper and I just loved these colors. Now the orange/yellow paper that he is on is from my stash and so is that great flower.

Sorry for being absent

I am so sorry for being absent, but we have had all sorts of problems around here.

I have been in the hosopital, but I am fine, then I get home and the internet was off for 3 days, and when I finally got it back, low and behold the power starts going off and on. I would say a good time to be doing crafty things, but instead I have laid down and been a good girl.

Anyway here is my card for Stamp n Doodle this week. Isn't it cute. We needed to do some embossing (the boots) some glitter (the socks) and have a bat. The image is from Stamp n doodle and they saying is just one I have heard (I am sure like everyone of you have heard it also). Go check out the challenge over at Stampo n Doodle.

WOW Thursday already??????

Where in the heck has this week gone? I have been so busy trying to take care of things here at the homefront, and doing projects for different things that need to be done that this week has flown by.

Well Thursday's are AiFactory days and today is embossing. I do not have a heat gun or the embossing stuff, so I hand embossed. It is hard to see but the hearts, and the centers of ALL of the flowers have been hand embossed.

I colored it with my copics and then highlighted areas with stickles.

Hope you enjoy it......I know I did have fun doing it.

New Fall cards

Wow I cannot believe we are almost to the end of September already.

I have been taking a few days off due to my high blood pressure and high blood sugar but I got back into it this morning and wanted to post a few things that I have done.

I have really gotten into Autumn and Halloween lately. I guess because it has gotten cooler here and the leaves are turning such beautiful colors.

Well let's get into the cards and let me tell you what I have done.

The first image is from CDAC and that pumpkin wagon was just calling to me. I colored it with my copics and then had to add some leaf brads, a couple of things for the wheels and I needed something else to I added a flower. I also had to put some glitter on the center of the flower and on the pumpkins. Oh yea and the saying on the inside is one that I had in my stash and I am not sure where it came from. The cardstock is from my stash.
