Been gone for a while....Thank you for your support!

I want to take a minute to say THANK YOU to everyone for all of their support over the past few months and the many cards that I have received. My dad had been fighting cancer and on May 1st lost his battle with this ugly disease and I will miss him very much. My dad will forever be in my heart! I love you, DAD!

My mom is doing ok and my sister and I are there to support her. She is one strong woman and is the best nurse EVER! She took care of my dad for the entire time he was ill and she is my hero! She is an amazing woman and I want to say that I love you, MOM!

We're all trying to get back to some type of normal life which is really hard. This is the first card that I've made in over a month so I hope that you enjoy it.  It's another Twisted Thursday Challenge over at shirleys2girls and the twist this week is to use your FAVORITE COLOR on your card or project. Sounds pretty easy, huh? so no excuses for not playing along with us this week.

For my card this week I used a digi stamp from shirleys2girls called 'ONCE'. There are several images in this series of Ladies with Attitude and I'm sure that you will love them all. I love this color combination of grey blue/rose pink. I used some cute little flowers that I got at Michaels and then put a paper flower underneath for an accent. I hope that you enjoy my card this week and hope to get back in the swing of things soon.

If you want to see more fabulous work, head on over to the shirleys2girls challenge blog to view ALL of the DT's work. Don't forget to link up your work, you could win your choice of 2 free digi's from their online store.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Spring Time....

Sorry I've not posted in a few weeks and I hope that everyone enjoyed their trip to PARIS!  I wish I could have gone but  I've got a lot going on in my family right now and have not been able to make any cards for the last couple of weeks.  I was able to sneak in an hour or so to play this week.

I just realized that we're on Twisted Thursday Challenge #53!?! My how time flies. I've been working with those fabulous ladies over at S2G, Deidre and Kristine, for a whole year and I've LOVED every minute of it!

This week over at Shirleys2Girls we're working on some warm spring things. The fabulous twist is to use FLOWERS on your card or project this week.

For my card this week I followed the sketch over at SFYTT (Sketch For You To Try).  I used a digi stamp from shirleys2girls called Bee-lieve. I just love all of their little critter stamps. I pulled out some old DP that I had stashed and printed my digi's out on neenah classic solar white. I LOVE that paper. I used one of my nestabilities flowers for my sentiment.  I hope that you enjoy my creation this week and if you want to see more fabulous work, head on over to the shirleys2girls challenge blog to view ALL of the DT's work. Don't forget to link your work to Mr Linky, you could free your choice of 2 free digi's from their online store.

Ready for my Flower Pot card???? The tutorial came from Stephanie Luman so you can check it out. What a great Mothers Day or anyday card for that special person in your life! I just love how mine came out. Easy to make too. I used an image called Easter Bonnet from Shirleys2Girls. This is such a fun image to color!
