Wednesday --- Challenge Day!!

...I always look forward to Wednesday, it's the middle of the week and one of the days I seem to find a lot of fun new challenges.   I have been working on a few different challenges for the past couple of days and I am happy to be feeling better and back to share some cards.

   My first card was created with a few challenges in mind and the first one that inspired me was the new challenge over at 'The Pink Elephant', once of my favorite challenge blogs.  Lori's challenge for this week was one I knew I would love, because I am also a fan of Heather's images and already own a nice selection. The challenge was to - Use the color Aqua, a Designer Paper and to use an embellishment of your choice.  I started by coloring this cute little image in a little Aqua outfit and for my Designer paper I chose some the The Memory Box's - Spearmint Collection, and I chose to use a few little gems and pearls go with the Aqua theme and this is my completed card.


    I also created this card to submit to this week's chalelnge over at the challenge blog and their challenge this week is - 'I Did it Creations' - Keep it Simple.  And also to the CUTE challenge being hosted this week at the Anything Goes Challenge Blog.  I hope to see all my crafty friends join me in these fun new challenges.  

   My next card was created for a brand new challenge that started yesterday over at A Craft Little Place and this is Challenge # 57 A Color Challenge.  The colors for this week are;  Orange, Green and Brown, all colors that work out wonderful for a Halloween Card and that is exactly what I created with this adorable little 'Baby Pumpkin Boy' digi from C.C. Designs.


  And I have one more to share and this card I created for fun and to get ahead on my Christmas Cards.  It was created with a fun little Santa image from Bugaboo Stamps.
  

   Now, I am off to Simply Scrapping Crafts to see what new challenges they have to offer this week.  I have a few favorites there and I generally start off at the Stamp n Scrap Challenge, then head to the Copic Corner-Coloring Challenge and also stop by the Card Corner, to see what fun ideas they have.

    Update:   I finished up two card for challenges over at SSC and I'm back to share them with you now. 

     My first card was created for the new 'Card Corner' Challenge and if you join in, you'll find a wonderful sketch this week created my Maureen, to use as your inspiration.  For my card is chose this sweet image 'Angel Happy' from A Day For Daisies.  I colored her with my Copics and added a fine layer of white sparkling glitter to her wings and halo.  I then used the sketch as a guide for my design and added some bling and sheer white ribbon.


  And my last card for today, (I'm wiped out), was created for this week's Creative Corner Challenge at SSC. You can find all the details in the challenge and it's a fun one.  This is the card I created and it's a bright and fun Halloween Card!


 And that's it for me for today!  I've had a fabulous day of crafting, but I'm now beat.  Time to rest up and take it easy, before my Fibro flares up!  Good Night!!  :)

What a sweet card! The image is precious. Nice and clean is always good. That big bow is just perfect, like a cherry on top of a scrumptious sundae. Great job!

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".
