Let your Dreams take Flight!

With all that is happening in the news lately sometimes you just need to disconnect. My favorite paranormal romance author recently released another book to the Black Dagger Brotherhood. If you are into seriously hot vampires, you have to read this series. Talk about major get a way from reality!!! You need to start from Dark Lover by JR Ward. Don't get me started on her Fallen Angels series too!

I like my books and movies the same. Never to close to reality.It drives my family nuts when they want to go see movies like Zero Dark Thirty and I want to see OZ. LOL!!

Onto a little card sharing, I love Saturated Canary Images. I'm sure if you've been around my blog you have seen quite a bit of them recently and I love this digi! I matted her on MME paper and her sentiment is from Greeting Farm. I see that she's into Paranormal romances too, LOL!!

 

 

Hope you have a great Saturday. Today I am shopping for First Communion dresses and I hope the search is quick since we are expecting rain all day. BUT I have to tell you, right now it's gorgeous outside. It wouldn't be the first time the weather changed making the weathermen look like they have egg on thier face. Tough Job!

I'm a Guest Designer at CRAFT

Hello friends, I have exciting news. This month I am a guest designer for CRAFT. I was honored to be asked in December and this is my month! Can you believe it's March already?! I'm very excited it's here since at the end of the month I will be on VACATION!! I never needed one as much as I need one now. I'm also excited because my best friend is coming down too!

I'm sure he is counting the days too. This has been a heck of a winter up north, so much snow. and even though he's a firefighter, it's still too cold! We even had some chilly days here in Florida but nothing to compare. I have my fingers crossed that we will have much warmer weather while he's here. I'm looking forward to the beach and a great time with my girls while they are on Spring Break.

On to our challenge this month. Have you guessed what the theme is? It's EASTER or SPRING. CRAFT has some awesome sponsors this month and WOW on how many prizes are given away!  One of them being one of my favorites, Saturated Canary. This image is called Duck Duck Goose and she can be found here. 

Stop by and take a look at what the DT has for your inspiration and I look forward to stopping by your blogs too! 

Have a Inky Thursday!

Valentine's Day is just a little over a week away! Hugs and Hearts and LOTS of Chocolate! What a great holiday!!!! LOL!! Here's a Saturated Canary image I couldn't pass up. I just love how she ticks her tongue out. My kids still stick their tongue out  about lovey stuff and boys but I know that won't be for much longer! So I better enjoy it while I can!

Work has been overwhelming lately and I haven't much coloring time when I get home because I am just plain tired. It's making me cranky!! I probably look like this card. Just a whole lot older! LOL!! So today my markers and I are going to work. There is a little spot that I can have lunch and color. I am so there today!

Well it's that time to shake the beds and wake the kids. Hope you all have a great day!

Oozak Challenge Anything Goes Pink and Sparkly!

 Have you been by the Oozak challenge blog? This month it's Anything Goes with a Pink and Bling twist. I did my best to show you the sparkly. The base card is shimmery, I stickled the dress and wings. I even gave a plump lips a little gloss. Little Lady Bug from Saturated Canary is just too cute! I was so excited to get some of these great stamps from Oozak. Rusty is a crazy fast shipper too!

 It's going to be a long week. It's the first full week of school back from Christmas break and I am back from  vacation days too. It's only Tuesday!  I guess the best way to cure the full week blues is to color! That pretty much cures all blues, Lol!

There was 3 little witches...

...and they all live in a little town in Florida. I wish I looked this good, LOL!! But I guess if I am referring to myself as a witch I have to magic to do so!! I told my girls we were these three witches and they both wanted to be the one with the purple hair! I AM SO in trouble when the teenage years arrive. Start praying for me now please!

This year is going by so fast. I can't believe we are already deciding what to wear for Halloween and before you know it the little goblins will be at the door for candy!

 This is WitchKeys from Saturated Canary digi's. I love them but then I love pretty much all of Krista's images! Let me know what you think!

Party Like a Rockstar

 

Another birthday in my house!! August and September is all about birthdays here! My big girl is 11! Yesterday I kept repeating that she was turning 10! She was like, "No MOM! But don't worry I'm still your baby." Awwwww, she makes my heart skip! She is also sooo opposite of my youngest. She loves music and dance, and my little one is art and tv. I just love them! And that they both have some sort of creativity. It's good for the soul, lol!

So who better than this adorable digi from Saturated Canary named Dance Music to Party like a Rockstar! I just love the music notes in her hair. You can only wonder what she is listening too. She's done in Copic markers and is sitting on Authentique's Delightful paper. All so yummy!

My big girl's birthday is actually Thursday! But with kid's birthdays it's always a weekful of events! I still say ten! I don't want them growing anymore! When she's 40 she'll appreciate me holding her back! LOL!

Playing with New Stamps!

 

Whoot Whoot! I have a bunch of new stamps that I recently ordered arriving. I can't get to them fast enough! Oh and paper!! My goodness all the new 6x6 paper pads that are out! I am loving all the new treats. 

 

Do you just love the hair on Summer from Saturated Canary? What I love most about these images, besides thier sweet faces, is the amazing hair they all have. They are so much fun to color and now I am really happy that they are in rubber. 





 

 

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Mine is going way to fast. I need about 6 or 7 weekends in a row to catch up! LOL!!  Today we celebrated my youngest daughter's birthday AGAIN. This time it was a party with her besties from school. Even though her birthday was a couple of weeks back, we waited to have her bash after school started so she'd have a chance to invite her friends. It was a crazy, giggly, hyper, drama queens day, LOL!! Tommorrow we GO to another birthday party. Can you see why I need 6 or 7 weekends in a row?!!

My School Girls

If you wander around Facebook and then you already got a sneak peak at this frame. The night I finished it I was so excited about the way it came out I had to share it right away.

I had to have this digi from Saturated Canary as soon as I saw it. I reminded me so much of my girls except for the glasses are on the wrong little one, lol! In past posts I mentioned that I subconsciously color my images in my little ones likeness. There was nothing subconscious about this one...and when I was finished and showed it to them they smiled. Lexi said, "I'm glad you think of us when you color Mommy."  Little do they know I think of them all the time!

My sister suggested I frame this one. She knew I was likely not to give it away if it was a card. So I left some open spaces for this year's school pictures and it's framed and ready to go!

Lexi's Creations: Back to School

My first Saturated Canary

 

Happy Thursday! Though I wish it was Friday, what a week so far. I finally went to the doctor for my arm and he gave me a Cortisone shot for my "tennis elbow". Since I've heard most people getting these shots before for this type of soreness, I didn't give it much thought, even when the doc said that I will feel a little pain and just ice it. I blew it off. I have a high tolerance so no big deal right? SO WRONG!!! 

 

The shot brought me to tears and wishing I never went to the doctor!!! And of course to all those friends and family that told me they got the shot, NOW they tell me how much it hurt them too!!!  I think I need to re-evaluate my buddy list. LOL!! 

Anyway that was Monday afternoon and now Thursday I am feeling a whole lot better. 

As for this sweet image by Saturated Canary. I had her colored a while back. These digi's are just so pretty! I love their big beautiful eyes. The paper is from MME and I just can't get enough of their latest releases. Hope you like too!
