What a day.....

  Today is such a wonderful day!!  It's the once of the nicest days we have had in a LONG time.....probably back  to the Fall and it's so nice to be heading into Spring and Summer....my absolute favorites time of the year.  I also love the warmer weather and how good it feels to get outside and not be freezing.   The warm sunshine feels awesome...I LOVE it and it's simply makes you feel good!  
   Its' also nice to be in my craft room without feeling like I have to run my little heater to feel really warm an comfy.  It's perfect in here right now...I'm comfy warm and even wearing my flip flops and not the least bit cold!   The afternoon sunshine is beaming though....I'm really enjoying this awesome weather!  I hope it last all weekend, if not even longer.
  After getting outside for a little fresh air, it's also really nice to be back in my craft room and creating...it's my passion and and just LOVE making carding.    I  finished up this little card for Challenge #4 over at the Bildmalarna Blog.   This week's challenge is take one of your adorable "Bildy" stamps and create a project using these colors - Green, Gold and Brown.  I decided to use this cute little stamp which is celled Tosse With Flower, and this the card that I created with little Tosse as my Challenge Card --

   And now I'm off to rest a bit, my neck is a little sore and I am kind of tired!  I hope that I'll be able to do little more "Copic Coloring"  later or maybe blog hop and see what other fun challenges I can find to do?   I still need to make a birthday card for my nephew Jeff, but I'm lost and always have such a hard time make GUY cards.  Little boys are fine, but he is going to be 23 and for me making men/guy cards is the hardest thing to do.    If any have any suggestions, leave me a comment!


  Thanks!

if you do the wallet in brown and maybe even emboss it with the mosiac (little tiny squares) cuttlebug embossing folder it would look like a leather design and be more manly. you could make a little gift card for the inside too or little cards that look like department cards etc..
she also has tie cards and overalls etc..i hope this helps!!

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".
