SO LATE!!!!!


I am going to keep this short and sweet .. mainly because it is late and I have a lot to do and Hannah wants to play on my computer since Tommy Ray is playing on the other computer. Did that sentence even make sense? I am so behind on posting my ICS card it is not even funny! Forgive me ICS gals! I had computer issues on Monday night on into Tuesday. Today I have been busy and just have not had time. My pastor went into the hospital late last night and is still being kept for observation and testing. Please remember him in your prayers. Thank you. He and his family mean so much to me. He has prayed and been there for me and so many others countless times and now he really needs our prayers.


This challenge is being sponsored by the Greeting Farm. I got to choose a digi for this card and MAN WAS THAT HARD!!! They are all just so cute! I went with one I thought Hannah would like as well and chose Ivy Christmas Tree. Isn't she sweet?!?! I colored her with my prismacolor markers and added patches of stickles on the snow. The paper is by? I have so much scrap I really never know what I am using (therefore I usually do not have a list for you :( sorry!!) I was able to snag this fun Martha Stewart punch set at AC Moore for 40% off this weekend. I love it!!! So fun!


Well, that is about all I have for you today. Be sure to pop back in Friday for my Image Release Party!!! There will be lots of fun and inspirational cards and a fun challenge or two to keep you busy. Did I forget to mention PRIZES!?!?! Mark your calendar and plan to spend part of your day with me and my girls :). AND Saturday I am participating in the Operation Write home Blog Hop where i will be offering a prize from my shop AND a prize from Busy Beauties so mark your calendar for that as well!!!


Can't wait to see you then! :)

HELLOOOOO!!! (in the voice of Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire)


I trust you all had a wonderful Saturday. I did for the most part. I am not jacked up on coffee and could not wait until the morning to post. I knew if I did I may not have time anyway. Sooooooo this is me, all goofy. Wonna know why???????????? Because I am SO TIRED!!! lol!!! I can hardly stand myself. Do you remember those days in High School when you would get home from school, even if it had been only one hour since you had seen them, you were calling your best friend and talking on the phone well into the night? Well, last night I was 16 again. Sigh. I thought I missed those days;). lol. Kidding! I don't remember talking that long to anyone .... ever really. I had the most fun and laughed, cried, stunk like sweat under one arm (the one holding the phone) lol!!! See, I told you I am nuts and sharing EVERYTHING! I have very few friends in my life that have touched my heart in a way that I just knew God had sent them to me. It was like the V8 smack in the noggin obvious; I felt that way from day one with this wonderful lady. She inspired me to draw this image today and I just HAD to go ahead and create a card with it. I am adding it to her VERY LATE birthday present. i found a few challenges today that I am entering this to. One is for Crazy 4 Challenges: an easel card, the other is for Digital Tuesdays: flowers and the sketch is from Card Patterns. I had a blast creating this card.


I do hope you love it Mrs C. and know how much you mean to me. I am such a sap! lol!!! I sound like an in love schoolgirl. Trust me, it is all the coffee and lack of sleep .. tomorrow I will wake up and reread this and say to myself "you dummy!" lol! I do love ya though!!! :o)

This image will be added to Fresh Brewed Designs soon. Cant wait to see what you think about it.
