Get Well Soon!!

I really should tell myself that... hehe!!! yesterday was a day of rest... hubby set up the pool for the girls while mommy took it in to just rest and relax... i guess that's what i really needed because the pain under my rib cage has subdued a bit... back pain is still there and i know it won't go away until it's time, but the chest pain was the unbearable this weekend... it had me in tears.... sipped some hot peppermint tea over the weekend to get my mind off the pain and it helped... enough to let me get some cards done... =D

so with all this random pain of happenings, i decided to make some kind of get well card and i came up with this....
had Nurse Nora for a little over 2 months now and finally got the chance to let her shine.... i think she is so sweet... can you believe this is the first time i've ever tried to keep with a blackish/grayish and white theme... totally out of my comfort zone... but i told myself... "hey self, why not try it... if it doesn't work out, you can always stamp another one and give it color!" LOL... i was determined after finding the DP that fit perfectly as my background, the b/w ribbon and pretty shimmery flowers to make it work out... did i do a good job??!!

and this card is up for the following challenges.....

1. ATS - Week 37 ~ Monochrome

2. Flutter by Wednesdays #113 ~ Layers

3. Tamiko's Challenge #5 ~ Flowers

4. Anyone for Anya ~ Be Dazzled

well... i'm off to another day of volunteer work.... today and tomorrow are the final days of school registration and then i'm done... looking forward to finishing up baby shower things and crafting.... (i just hope i can survive with the back aches).... always thanking you for supporting my blog and visiting when you can.... i appreciate all of this... =D for now, have a beautiful day!!!

May your wish come true!!

Happy Sunday!! Hope everyone had a wonderful summer weekend!! i tried to, but with so many happenings, it was a bit painful i guess you could say.... but i hid the pain and tried my best to smile and create some cards and low and behold, i have one for you today...

i had the image colored for a few days but only put the card together last night.... it wasn't the best crafting week so i had to work with the time i had... but i couldn't pass up playing the challenge... this card is for LLWWC #47 - black, white + 1 other color.... i would have normally gone with black, white and pink, but this time i chose to go with orange.... this is what i came up with...
i guess i was kinda feeling Halloween colors.... or the fact that i haven't used orange as much lately... either way, orange ruled.... but i do think Fairy Lala looks good in orange... =D

sorry for the hit and run.... back pains are coming back with this uncomfortable chair so it's time to lie back down.... =( always hoping tomorrow is a better day!!! Thanks for stopping in!! i'm still around regardless of the lack of postings.... =D

Glamorous...

Wednesday morning calls!! Hello there friends!! This was suppose to go up yesterday, but i was super busy that i could barely get on the internet... eek! but i'm here now to share!

this card was made based on the color combo challenge at Club Anya & Friends - WCW... using similar colors to Lavendar, Kiwi Kiss and Pretty Pink.... yup, all those girly colors... i also used the CA&F Satruday sketch to put my card together and here is the outcome...
i just adore Cheeky's glamorous expression... she was perfect with these colors... i actually fun flocked her boa too... =D the card is clean and simple, but i LOVE the CAS style... and to my surprise, i was chosen as the random winner for this challenge!!! yippppeee!! i was super surprised!

Magical Monday!

It's a beautiful Monday!!! I did get crafty all night Saturday and made a few cards... Wow!!! that was my best crafting day by far in such a long time... so today i share with you a card i created for a couple of challenges...

1. ATS Challenge #36 - Sketch

2. Flutter by Wednesdays #112 - OpenFlipped the sketch over at ATS and used this sweet pixie by CC Designs and this is how my card turned out... i love the color combo... found these papers in my scrap stash... also did some masking to put the pixie onto the stump... stickles to sparkle her wings and of course i needed some bling on the card somewhere... i'm very satisfied with the way this one came out... =D

yesterday was such a lazy day... guess staying up late on Saturday took a toll on me and all i wanted to do was lie in bed.... for most of the day... hehe! hope i get some craft time again today... so much i want to do... well, Thank you for coming by to visit today!! Hope i can have a few more to share... but until then... Have a Magical Day!!
