Enjoying a creative day...

     Today, is a gorgeous day here in Massachusetts and I'm so happy to be here to share some of my newest cards, all inspired by some of my favorite challenges!
  
       I'm going to start with a card that was created for a NEW Favorite Challenge with the MUSE Christmas inspired challenge, called --  Muse: Christmas -- A Christmas Card Club, which you'll find HERE!  

Muse: ChristmasVisions

Our MUSE for this week is Chris


Muse Card

My Card
In some ways this card would have fit better in last week's challenge, but I am late in getting it posted and HOPE it will work for this week TOO!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  The next card I created was inspired by the Current Challenge at Die Cut Diva's and also is being submitted to Bugaboo's current challenge as I colored up one of my favorite Bugaboo Digi Bugs for this one!    
My Card


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 That bring me to my last card for this post and it's one of my favorites, because it is a "Doggie Card" that was created with one of my newest Cling Stamps from Whipper Snapper Designs, who has the most wonderful selection of Dog/ and Puppy Stamps!   It is NOT the current challenge theme, but you can see more of their adorable cards at this LINK!!



    Before I go, I would also LOVE to invite you to head on over to the a2z Scrapbooking Blog to play in our JUNE -- New Beginnings Challenge!   All the details can be found HERE!    Have fun and be sure to stop by the STORE for all the newest Hero Arts Goodies.  

Have a wonderful day!   Hugs and Love to all!!

A fabulous trip!


  Our trip has been fantastic.  Tonight is our last night here.   We loved every minute and had so much fun with Brian and Meghan.

 Zeva did great ,but I sure miss Skye and Molly too.   It will be so sweet to see them and all be home tomorrow.   Skye has been wonderful at Arleen's whicmade me feel comfy and happy.

  I have not had much time to be online and will catch up with my DT stuff this week.  I have Chemo on Tuesday and that will be perfect for me to post updates.

 Thanks for all the happy wishes and Facebook notes.

Hugs....

A surprise!!

Just a little NOTE to tell you all we are ADOPTING!   Miss Molly will be joining our family when we return from California.   I met her and FELL in love on Sunday, when we brought SKYE down to Arleen's (her former FosterMom), who is taking care of her while we are away!   They are now having fun getting to know each other!

She is our FIRST Mini Dachshund and I would not be more delighted.  She was "SAVED" from a High Kill Shelter in New York and is somewhere between 8 and 10 years old.  Missing having a Senior in our home, I believe "Scoutie" found her for me and she will help me forever CHERISH him and my love of Seniors!   

Here she is a tiny peanut.....who will be so LOVED !  It will be nice to have three again...!!

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".
