Oh What a Day!!!

   I am feeling GOOD today and that is such a wonderful feeling and I'm so HAPPY!   What a world of difference as compared to the past few weeks!   It's also another gorgeous day....bright blue skies...lots of sunshine and nice warm temps!  I LOVE SUMMER!!

     This morning, I actually did some gardening and finally finished planting the last the the flowers I bought a few weeks ago, before we had all the rain.   I also did a bit of weeding...and then watered everything and washed down our deck.  All the left over pollen and is now rinsed off and hopefully we are done with it for this season.  My gardens are growing really fast now...it's amazing to see the difference in a matter of days, especially when you add in the SUN!

    I have a few cards to share and I'll add more details later, but for now, I'm simply happy to get them uploaded.  My first card is one that I made based on this 'Make a Wish' card by BarbaraLynn, that I found over at the SCS Gallery.  I was browsing for some ideas for a MALE card, as they are always so hard for me, and that's when I found her card.  I also thought it was a great way to use scraps and I know it's an idea I will use again!   My thanks to Barbaralynn for some awesome inspiration !! 

Make a Wish

My cased version!

  
  This next card was another one that I had come up with as an idea for my BIL's birthday card.  Very plain and simple, but I think it would work!! 


  And then I have these two which are the cards that were created for challenges.   Both were created with Digi images and colored with Copics.   This first card was created for this week's challenge over at 'The Outlawz" and this week the Copic Challenge is "Anything Goes".  My image is another of my favorites from Wax Fruit Company.

 
   And this cutie was also created for a Copic Coloring challenge and this one is being hosted over at SSC, which you can find HERE!   Our challenge at SSC was to created a project (colored with Copics), that shows something you LOVE about Summer or something you love to do in the Summer!  For me that is heading to the Beach -- my favorite place to be!!    This cute little digi is from Tiddly Inks.

  
  And that's it for now!  I'm off to have dinner and then will be hitting the shower and resting for the evening.  

   Wishing everyone a very nice Memorial Day weekend -- the weekend many people consider the first true weekend of Summer, but more importantly a time to remember all those who have been lost, especially those who proudly serve and protect our country.    God Bless our Troops!


   I'd also like to invite everyone to join the Memorial Day Blog Hop tomorrow over at the Stars & Stamps Blog!

Hi Lis ~ Happy Memorial Day to you!! Your TI's image came out darling!....and I love that flower digi; I'll have to check back to see who it's by. You had asked about an embossing folderI used. I wanted to tell you it's from a Cuttlebug border set that I bought online from Jo-Ann's (on sale for $4.79).

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".
