Sunny Sensational Saturday!!

  After being soooo very sick, it feel absolutely wonderful to feel good again and today is one of those days where the sunshine and bright blue sky makes me feel even better!
  My goal is to continue to rest and relax and work on my organizing and major craft purge.  I also am determined to create more and more each day and have a new card to share now that was created and inspired by some of my favorite challenges.
  The first challenge I am entering is the CAS challenge being hosted over at a2z Scrapbooking, which will always be very near and dear to my heart.  I loved being part of the a2z Design team and still LOVE to follow the challenges and all the posts that the girls share everyday!  I'm also a huge fan of the a2z store and hope you'll be encouraged to shop there often.  You can even use the SUMMERFUN Promo code to save 25% off any order of $25 and up!   Be sure to check out the fun new goodies that just arrived, all in a theme perfect to start on your Christmas cards!!


  This card features one of the newest stamp sets called "Color Layering Graphic Flowers - CL862" which is currently sold out, but due back in stock ANY DAY!!   Many of the new sets are flying out the door, so shop early for the best selection and you can also ask for any set to be custom ordered!  


Color Layering Graphic Flowers - Clear Stamp

  I am also submitting this card to the current challenge over at Virginia's View, which you'll find here!   This one is called "100% Stamped" and is one I LOVE!   Be sure to check out all the fantastic inspiration on Virginia's Blog!



  I used a combination of Hero's new Ombre Inks, along with their shadow inks, which have always been a favorite.  All the inks used on this card are from Hero and can be found over at the a2z Store. Once the inks were dry, I coated them with a layer of sparkle using my "Clear" Wink of Stella Marker and finished off my card with some pretty "Bling" from Prima!  

  And that's it for now, as I head outside to enjoy a bit of sunshine and see how the pups are doig, while lounging in the sun.  They love it as much as I do!!

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".
