Friend & Circles More Than Words Challenge

Hello Friends!

I know it has been a long while since my last post but, I really needed some time off. I lost my mojo for about a year and I hadn't realized that it had even been so long. I just hope you are all doing well and in good spirits.

Well, I coming out of retirement after finding this really awesome challenge blog,

More Than Words Challenge

This months Challenge is Friends & Circles. Pretty easy to and with my New Prima You&Me Collection stash I managed to put this together in a day. I used the Bubble stencil with Heavy Gesso, a little Lindy's Flat Fabio and Tattered Angels Mist for depth and Prima Dies as accents. The vine is what I like the most. It is from Prima but, the flowers that were attached just didn't suit my page so, I removed them and added New Prima Flowers.

Well I do hope you enjoyed your visit. Please stop by again.

Tons Of Hugs,

My Heart Is Yours

Hey There Friends!

How is Everyone this fine evening? I am doing very well today. Happy and content with life for the moment, lol. I was sitting at my desk and realized that I hadn't joined in any of the Simon Says Challenges and jumped right on it. So, here is what I put together. Kinda loud for me as I am a simpleton, hahaha. The challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show is "Project With A Heart". I added many hearts as you can plainly see. I was very excited to finally be able to use that Memory Box Die that I bought months ago. 

I also made this card with Simon Says Stamp Challenge in mind. The Challenge there is "Anything Goes". I always Love to join in that challenge because it gives me a chance to use any companies image I chose, lol. I went with a Magnolia image and I think she turned out okay. It's very Valentine-ish don't you think? 

Well, I hope you enjoyed your visit.

You Brighten My Day

Hello Friends!

I am back with my week 4 card for Viva La Verve Challenge. Check out the gorgeous sketch Tosha came up with. 

This is what I was inspired to do with it.

I used the Thoughtful Florals Set from Verve. I loved the way it turned out but, I couldn't get a good photo due to bad weather. We finally got a bit of rain here in California, Thank the lord. I was worried for our fish, lol. If you would like to buy this set you can visit Verve Store. I hope you enjoyed my card.

Hang In There!

Hey There Everyone!

Just want to share a card I made for the Mojo Monday Challenge. I had to have at this gorgeous sketch. I knew the *New* My Mind's Eye, Moments Paper Pad would be perfect for this card. I Love the Bold Blue and the almost Buttercup Yellow. I was hoping to incorporate the Thatched Banner but it was just a little to wide. Maybe on the next one.

Well, I haven't been feeling great lately. So I made this one for myself. I shall take my own advise and Hang In There,lol.

Hugs, Dangina

Just Bee-cause

Just Bee-cause I wanted to join in the Sketch Saturday Challenge,lol. After viewing the sketch, I jumped right on it. This was a fun one and the project took me all of an hour to finish. 

Today I was planning on sleeping in to rest my foot.. I have a bone spur in the heal of my foot and boy has it been killing me. I ignore it all day but, by 7:00 I have to get off of it. I don't know how long it takes for it to go away but, it won't be soon enough, lol. To top it off, my Air Conditioning isn't working and can't have anyone come out until Tuesday. We are thinking about going fishing now that I'm done crafting. So I guess I should get ready for that.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.
