Shades of a pink Penguin....

Hello & Happy Thursday Crafty Peeps!

OMGOSH! it's the very last day of January!!!
How did that happen? New Year's day was
just yesterday? Right? 
Okay... Maybe I'm just a month behind! 😜

I made another sweet card using the
PENGUIN LOVE Digital Stamp set by my
Sweet Friend Jessica!

I used 3 different shades of Pink Distress Oxides for this card

along with that Sweet adorable Penguin! I also added some

Clear Glitter to the heart that cutie is holding...

My Crafty Friend Jessica over at Polka Dot Orchard

started designing her own Digital Stamps and asked

me if I would like to try them out. Of course, I said

HECK YEAH!!! I LOVE Penguins!!!

She made this entire set

You can find this adorable set along with some

other fabulous sets she's made at her store

Polka Dot Orchard

I hope you can take a look... She's made some

wonderful designs and was a sponsor of the Coffee Lovers

Blog Hop back in December... 

She's a new & upcoming artist which I think you guys might like! 

That's my Theme this week - (Digital Stamps)

Have a Fabulously Crafty Weekend!!!!

You warm my heart...

Hello & Happy Wednesday Crafty Peeps!

With February in just 2 days, that means
the next holiday is upon us...
VALENTINE'S DAY!!! The day of LOOOVE...

I really didn't plan on making Valentine's Day
cards this year because I have soooo many already
in my stash - FYI Crafty friends... You'll probably be
getting one in the mail! LOL

So, I was thinking a little differently while using
Jessica's Digital images - Which you can use these
Digital images in ANY Program you have crafters -
I just happen to use my Silhouette Cameo for mine... 

What do you guys think of this one? I like

how I created the background using the Digital

LOVE image... Then I colored it in with my markers...

The cup can be coffee or Hot Cocoa! I have crafty friends

who prefer Cocoa, so this is for you guys!!!! 😚

I'm Back? What? Already?

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone!

What? I'm BACK Already??? YUP!

I couldn't stay away THAT long...

Actually, I could have, but I have way too many projects

to show you... This is what happens when you

take a break from blogging I guess? You actually

can find your creative side... Or not?

I guess that would depend on the person...

I've decided to do a few things differently...

#1) I'm NOT going to list

all the products I use... It's TIME-CONSUMING

and I don't get paid for it... so Why Should I?

I will list a link to a Company/OR Blog if I'm participating 

in their challenges of course - 😉

#2) I'm gonna try and do a theme every week
like... Using a particular Stamp or technique
or inks or cameo projects only... I think you get it?
If not... you'll see what I mean... LOL

#3) I'm going to use what I have already
which is a lot... I have tons of Stamps
and Dies which have not been touched in forever
or Brand new Stamps & Dies I've never ever used!
(I'm a BAD CRAFTER) 

#4) I may not leave as many comments as I normally
have in the past... As you know... it's very time-consuming
and you all know I follow you and I love to leave you love, but I
can't when you post 2,3,4 times in a single day. that's a lot...
I will check blogs 2x's a week and leave my comments then and
only for 1 post... Sorry bout' that... But I got lots going on
as I'm sure you do too... So if you can't leave me a comment
I'm totally cool and understanding of that... 😘

I think that's about it... nothing life changing
really... I'm just rethinking things as I go along.
I will POP onto FB every once in a while.
I really have no need to be on it unless I'm on a Design team...
Which at the moment I am not and happy to be free to create
whatever the heck I want when I want... I miss that! 😊

Anyway... I have a Theme post for this week starting tomorrow
if anyone wants to take a look -
P.S. Thanks for always sticking with me!! 💝💝💝

Have a Fabulously Crafty Day!!!

Happy New Year!

Hello & Happy New Year to you all!

How were your holidays? Did you guys

enjoy time with your families? Go on any trips?

Mine was wonderful - My Marine came home and

we got to spend some quality time together -

I miss him already! (inserting Sad Face)

My oldest came home as well, so I had all 3

boys home for Christmas - It really was nice and we

had a 24 hour NO CELL PHONE rule -

So we could spend that time focusing on our family -

It turned out great, then I went to visit my sister

with 2 of my boys and I did

a little shopping with my sister - hung out with

my nieces and great niece & nephews...

Headed back to Vegas to drop my Marine off with

his older brother for New Years - and I headed 

home to organize my craft room and do a few other

things before I headed back to work this past Thursday.

I've got to be honest... I've really enjoyed not being

on my blog, or Facebook this whole time...

I got my Mojo back which I'm thrilled with and now I'm

contemplating on if I should take a longer break

from the internet world... I mean I tried to keep

up with my commenting, so I did use the internet...

But then this past week I haven't because I was

trying to focus on getting organized and making

projects with stuff I already have - So I don't know...

I promised myself that I would not purchase any

new dies or stamps this year - We'll see

how that goes... The only things I am for sure

getting is maybe some Baby & Wedding Stamps/Dies

While organizing my stuff I only found 2 baby stamp sets

and only 1 wedding set... I don't "need" them, but I do sell

my cards at work and they're always looking for Wedding

& baby cards from me... So I will probably invest

in a few of those sets but that's about it - other

than the basics we always use like adhesive &

cardstock for my card bases... :)

While trying to get my Mojo back I decided to use my stamps

& dies that I've purchased over the past couple of years and

haven't used - As you can imagine I have a LOT that

I've never used to this day - so I'm hoping that using these items

will help get my creative juices flowing again - So far it's

working... I managed to create 14 cards in 4 days! Yay Me!

So, even though I have projects to share

I haven't gotten any pictures done yet and don't

know when I'll be sharing them - maybe next week?

Maybe not? I'm still not feeling like blogging...

You guys know it takes a lot of work to do blogs or

videos or post or leave comments on top of everyday life stuff... 

And I just feel drained right now... Not sure how else to explain it...

Sorry for the long rambling... But thought you should know

where I'm standing right now... I will be making my

blog rounds soon, cause I want to continue to support

my crafty friends - It just might be a few more days or

a week from now when that happens...

Just know, I'm thinking of all of you and

hope to be out of my funk soon!!!

BIG HUGS!
