Random thinking.....

So, it is after 10pm on the second day back to work....I left the office barely able to keep my eyes open, yet here I am 6 hours later and still online and wide awake.... I am so thankful to be up and able to go to work.... 2 months of recovery have been brutal. Now, I can get in my craft room - hubby does not have to bring things to me in the bed to try and work on. I am happy to have my time back to play in there versus being confined to the bed. It is amazing how your mojo just starts to disappear, but now, I am ready to go!

Couple things I am super excited about:
Tiffany Doodles will be sponsoring the Creative Card DT for the month of August! Can't wait to share her fun images with you... I have my most recent card on my flickr photostream - the vulture card...use the link on the left and take a look!

Just sent in my application to be a guest designer for DeNami Designs! I hope that is a positive response, of course. Head over to SSC for the Color Combo Challenges, as we were sponsored by them this month... There are some fab samples from the design team!

Joined the "club" for A Day for Daisies and am in love with all the images... Head over to that site and check them out.... There is a new release all the time.... Such talent! www.adayfordaisies.com is the place to find all the goods..... And there are many! Eye candy all over the place!


I am really starting to embrace the digital stamp world. I love combining digital images with stamped images and coloring them with Copics or Prismacolors. I hope to venture into some shabby working soon, I love the way it looks and have some ideas in mind....


I am also trying to work out a blogging schedule for myself to make my entries more regular...suggestions of what works for you would be helpful!

My first challenge win....

And isn't it sweet! I entered the first challenge for The Stamping Boutique (www.thestampingboutique.com) on SSC... Theme for the challenge was "fantasy" and I used the Tulip Fairy #375. I will add the image in a bit....

Hope you are having a fun, crafting weekend everyone!!!

badge issue

Seem to be having a slight technical issues with my new badge for A Day for Dasies.... but fear not my friends, I will figure it out sooner or later.....

Happy Hump Day!

Today, I have NO PT and no nurse visits, which I hope means the pain will subside a bit to let me stamp for a while this morning or afternoon.....
Last night while cruising the SSC website - you really need to take a look, there are so many things... something for everyone...) back to the story, while I was searching all the different member companies, I stumbled upon A Day for Dasies!  And I must have struck my head and instantly fell in love with her designes... what an extrememly talented creator and come to find out, up late like I was!  I urge you all to run, do not walk, over to her website and check it out.... http://adayfordaisies.com/
As for me, I hope to create with her stuff real soon!  One more large prohject to finish that is not of this type, and then to get cracking on all the challenges out there..... the more the merrier, right????

Well, off to the coffee maker for me.... I NEED COFFEE!

Just found Tiffany Doodles recently.....

I recently decided to delve into the world of digital stamping....I was very hesitant....being a card maker, I love paper and creating and wondered if digital images were more like cheating....but, now I am addicted like nobody's business!
While I am sure I do not have the slightest clue what all you can do with these images, I sure am having fun playing with them.
Recently (two months ago probably) - since I am so bad at time frames....I stumbled upon a sight called Tiffany Doodles for digital images...I think I saw a card made and the crafted had used the image from Tiffany and it got me searching for it... Needless to say, I am many purchases later and loving her stuff...very fun to color, and quite a variety.... Something for everyone.....I certainly hope you check things out at www.tiffanydoodles.com and see for yourself...and if that isn't enough, Tiffany will. E sponsoring the SSC Card Challenges during the month of August! I will remind you again in a bit, but be sure to create an account and join the fun at the Wednesday challenges...you will have a chance to win digis from her store!!!!

To quote a friend I have been missing..."happy stamping"

Seriously MIA

Very sorry that I have been so missing for a long time....good news was the design team for SSC... I am part of the Card Design Team and the Color Combo challenge..... Luckily, they directors have been extremely understanding that I had to lay low for a while.... Hip surgery is no fun at all - I have had to stay in bed with my leg elevated on pillows for the past 3 weeks... That does mean that no trips to the stamping room,even though it is just down the hall.... I did get a little crafting done... Thanks to my hubby and his willingness to bring me stacks of paper, adhesive and scissors go the bed.... I will try and post some of my April challenge items, the new ones are non-postable until the challenge has been posted.... So stay tuned.....

Oh, and the reason I am back online and so comfortable has to do with my work-mates!!!!! They all pitched in together and sent me an iPad! It is engraved "for the hippest" admin...nice pun with the hip surgery - very clever on Ted's part... He is the mastermind!!!
