Triple Challenge Card Yellow Tulips

This is a triple challenge card! While I know the calendar just recently showed that it's the first day of winter, I'm so ready for warmer weather!!!  LOL    The sweet tulips are from Power Poppy & I made this for the Peep of the Week Challenge. The colors were this week's SCS color challenge & the layout was a CASE of Janeen's card for this week's CAS challenge.  I chose THIS card to CASE.  I had planned on using an oval, but my image was just a tad too big.


Stamps: Dynamic Duos: Peonies & Tulips
C/S: white, black
DP: unknown

Until next time!

Power Poppy Christmas Geraniums

I made this for Power Poppy's Peep of the Week Challenge.    You've heard that it's all about perspective.  This holiday season, I have battled crowds, dealt with extra traffic, been caught up in the hustle & bustle of the season.   I have chosen to to go out in the crowds & also chosen to stay home avoiding the madness.   But it was a choice...  a friend of mine had those choices taken away from her when a driver tried to beat a red light & plowed into her.  She was lucky, she only has a crushed ankle, but her dr told her not to expect to go back to work until March.  She's in a walker or in a wheel chair.  She doesn't get to make the same choices I can make right now.    I am sending this card to her & to me, it's just a card, to her... it will make her week.   Will you join me in sending a Random card to someone this week that isn't for any reason other to just say "I'm thinking of you."


Stamps: Geraniums Take Two Power Poppy

Snowflake Christmas Card

The snowflake is navy, but I can't get it to not look black.  Maybe I'll try again in the natural light.  Anyway, I'm working on some Christmas cards.  I was trying to CASE a card I saw, but didn't have a big enough snowflake die.  (although, I thought I bought one, so I just have to remember where I put it! )

Stamp: Sentiment is from Cardinal Christmas
Embossing Folder: The Paper Studio
Die: Taylored Expression
Silver glitter tape, clear rhinestone

Until next time!

PPWCMD01 & HYCCT1410 Azaleas

This is an "out of my comfort zone" card.  I have admired Dina's work... her coloring out of the lines, her mixed media & how it looks so good together.  For the Power Poppy World Card Making Challenge on Day #1, we could choose any of the "Inspire Me Monday" challenges & I chose the one where Dina showed us how to Watercolor with Distress Markers.   I also combined it with today's HYCCT challenge on SCS "something's missing".   I'm barely getting this in before the deadline, but I did get all 4 Power Poppy World Card Making Day challenges finished!!!

PPWCMD04 Daisies & Polka Dots

When I saw Marcella's PPWCMD challenge #4, I was so excited... then I started looking around.  We are living in temporary housing that is becoming more permanent, but I realized I haven't done a whole lot of personalizing here.  Part of the reason is there just isn't any room.  So, I pulled a picture that I've had saved & used it as my personal inspiration piece.  Black & white, WHITE daisies, polka dots... so me!!!  *smile*    I still can't get white daisies to grow... orange, red & pink ones grow just great for me, but not the white ones.  I don't get it!

Stamps: Gerbera Daisies Digi Stamps Power Poppy
C/s: black, white,
DP: Polka Dot papers The Paper Studio
copics, yellow grosgrain ribbon

This card is for a new to me challenge blog.  I've seen it a couple of times, but the due date has always slipped past me.  It is the Cards in Envy challenge & the current challenge is all about best of friends!

I have a friend who is the "Hang On... I'm bringing chocolate!!!!"  kind of friend.  She is the sister I never had, the kind of person who makes you laugh so hard you nearly pee your pants, is the most generous person I know, incredibly talented, absolutely amazing!!!!   She is only a phone call or text away & if I called & said I needed her, she would jump in the car & drive the 570 ish miles one way to be here.  She is my sanity saver.  Thanks so much for being you!  I love you, Lee!

Personal Post

This is a personal post...  I've had a few people ask why I've slowed down in my posting.  I had lots of goals & plans for this spring & things didn't happen quite like I had planned.    I have lots of things I want to make.  I have pieces of different cards on my desk, just waiting on my hands to cooperate.I have had a "mysterious" skin condition on my arms, hands & fingers.  The dr's are "baffled"!   I don't know how I got it & have no idea if/when it will go away.  Some days are better than others... some days just feel like I have the worst sunburn I've ever had & other days my fingers feel like they are going to explode like a hot dog in the microwave.   It's been 8+ weeks & about the time I think things are going to get better, my skin explodes again worse than it was before.   I have tried a lot of different things & some of them haven't seemed to make any difference, some things made it worse & I'm repeating the things that seem to be working.   I have people praying for me.  I'm so thankful for the power of prayer!    I hope to have a week where I just blow the blog up with new posts!  LOL
