Two Peas Challenges!


I have really been enjoying trying to participate in more and more Challenges lately. I started last week on the Two Peas "A Year in Cards" challenge and then found there were lot more to try, so I kept going! As it turns out, it's been really fun and it's helping me to learn new techniques and to try different things on my cards and pages.

My son, Alex told me one day last week, that he can always pick my cards out...because they all look alike and I don't' "think out of the box" enough. And he's right. I simply use paper and embellishments or stamped images. Now I'm learning to use inks, paints and embossing more again. I'm also using my Cricut more and more to create all kinds of textures and layers! It'll take time to get things to work for me...but it has been different and enjoyable!

These are some of the recent cards I have made, all for challenges!

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".
