Happy Thursday!!

  Today is going to be another fun and crafty day for me.  I am feeling so much better today and with Fibro any good day, is such a blessing.

   I have a really fun card to share with you know and it was created with several challenges in mind, but is also a super cute and fun 'Birthday Card'.  Lots of bright colors and as cute image from Bugaboo Stamps.   I also tried something new for this card and merged my digi image onto a new digi paper, which is my first time trying a background and it was fun!

   This is my card, which is also an Easel Card and I was inspired to make an Easel Card by my friend Ann, who was the inspiration designer for the Midweek Throwdown Challenge over at the Stars and Stamps blog.  If you have never created an Easel Card, they are really fun and you can find a great tutorial over at Split Coast Stampers, created by Beate Johns a very well known and talented crafter.




   My card was also inspired by Colleen's new Copic Coloring Challenge over at SSC.  Colleen challenged us to great a Birthday Card, include the colors Green and Black and also to make it sparkle, which I did with a bit of Stickles.  


    My fun and bright Birthday card is being submitted to these fun and creative challenges:
    Thank you all for some wonderful ideas and special thanks to everyone is who has been sponsoring all the fun challenges for Operation Write Home for the big Birthday Bash!!!

Lisa, Hi! How are you?
I sent an email to the lady that did your web design and watermark for ADFD several days ago to get her do do a watermark for me, but she did not respond. Any suggestions?

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".
