A lazy Sunday....

    I'm am soooo darn tired today, despite sleeping in this morning, I feel wiped out.  But then again, I've been very busy lately, plus staying up later than normal, so I guess it's catching up with me.  I also hurt my back this morning, while I was putting new bedding on our bed. Grrr!   I bought a totally new comforter set, new pillows, throw pillows and curtains.  Today was the day I finally started the change in our room.  I would LOVE to have hubby re-paint it too, but I'm not sure what color I want?  Right now the walls are a simply atrium white and that work, so it's not a big rush.    I still need some more accent pieces and I asked my Mom to pick out some as a Christmas Gift.  She did offer to buy the new bedding, but since I had already bought and paid for it, I knew it would be better to have her find some nice accents.  She's an awesome decorator and has very nice taste!!  It'll be fun to see what she finds.  My bed looks nice and comfy with a big puffy new comforter and I almost wanted to hope in an take a nap this afternoon, but decided to work on more Christmas Cards.

   My cards today are both for Christmas and were initially inspired by new challenges and the first one is the new Copic Color Challenge over at iCopic.  I started by choosing the colors that I needed, which are perfect for Christmas Cards and that is another plus.  My cute image is from Bugaboo Stamps and is an exclusive from the November Stamp Club!

  I also based my card on this week's sketch over at OWH Stars and Stamp Blog and copied it over to share.  Today is Sketch Sunday and this week we have this fun sketch to work with!

 Sketch # 44


 My Card


  This is the card that I created as my take on this Sketch.  It's also going to be one of my Christmas Cards and I have a friend who loves has her own Snowshoes, so this will be her card!   I think she'll get a big kick out of it!  I'm also submitting it to these challenge:
   I also want to take a moment to ask everyone to please take a moment and hope on over to the 'Craft for a Cause Contest' and please VOTE for Operation Write Home.   You may vote ONCE each day and only ONE vote each day is allowed!   Every little VOTE helps and OWH would LOVE for your to vote for us!  THANK YOU!!

  My second card was created for my personal collection.  My image is a cute little snowman by Heather Ellis and is from her NEW 'Mr Snowman' collection which I found earlier this week.  I LOVE snow people and love to use them on my cards!  This is is very cute and makes a fun card.

   This little snowman  card is being submitted to these new challenges!  I hope to see you stop by and join on on the fun!

   I also finished coloring several more digi images, which are all drying and waiting to be made into more card.  I can hardly believe that Thanksgiving is Thursday!  I still have a lot of cards to get done for Christmas and I like to send mine early!   Time to go work on more....!!

   Have a nice night and I hope you enjoyed your weekend!

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, an illness I personally live with. I had to stop working in 2006 due to Fibro and Degenerative Disc Disease. It's been a tough road at times, but I have a wonderful family and fantastic friends. I am a Mom to two awesome sons (Ages 21 and 26) and a wife and friend to a wonderful Hubby. We live in a tiny coastal community in Massachusetts and have lived here all my life. My hubby and my boys are my whole world and mean every thing to me! I cherish all three of my guys!! I am very lucky to be blessed with wonderful friends. I adore and cherish each of my friends as much as my family! I am an avid card-maker and love all types and stamping, and also love coloring with my Copics. I'm very lucky to have this whole new world on online friends that I've met through my Craft Groups. HUGS TO YOU ALL!!
