Card Progress

Here's my progress on the Christmas cards my darling friend Diane asked me to design for her.

This is what I have...so far....

I am currently working on additional cards, but I wanted to share what I accomplished this weekend.

I wish I could just sit at my desk and craft ALL day, but I will end up with a dirty house, huge piles of laundry and a hungry family lol

Wishing everyone a blessed week :)

Hooray for Friday

Happy Friday!!! I thought the weekend will never come!
First, I'd like to thank Stephanie at Card Cupids for making me a member on her design team.
I'm very grateful to be a part of such a wonderful charity.

Second, my good friend Diane, asked me to make Christmas cards for her to send out for the holidays!!! Hooray :) I have 4 done so far (out of 25). 
I am also planning to work on a few cards for the children's charity.
But all that will have to wait until I get home tomorrow evening.
My sis-in-law, my daughter Ashley, & I will be heading out for a day of shopping at the Outlets & I'll see if I can sneak a trip to Joanns :)
I will be a busy bee this weekend.

Also, I'd like to thank everyone who joined my blog, it's so wonderful to meet new friends with creative passion. You guys have amazing blogs filled with great ideas!!!

Have a GREAT Weekend everyone!

Card Cupids

Today I happened to come across a blog I thought we could all contribute to.
Its for a great cause; bringing smiles and good wishes to children who are battling illnesses.
The folks at Card Cupids are doing such an amazing job!
Their mission is to spread cheer and comfort to needy and ill children.
As a mother, I can't begin to imagine the difficult road these young kids & their families are battling, and I'm sure that a card, even from a complete stranger, will help brighten their day.

With that in mind, I just had to make a card.

This little squirrel is for a 3 year old named Christina. She has been diagnosed with Muenke Syndrome, Bicoronal Craniosynostosis, Developmental Delays, hearing loss & narrow brain ventricles.

I hope this will bring some joy to Christina. I truly enjoyed making this card for a very special girl :)

Momo's Tuesday Challenge

Momo is having another Tuesday Challenge :) Yay!
This weeks' theme is to make a card with some kind of embossing. It can be heat embossing or using your cuttlebug.
Here is my entry:

What do you think?
I was feeling festive, and Christmas is my FAVORITE holiday :)

Kathy's Cozies

Hello everyone
Today I purchased a cozie from the very talented Kathy :)

I was introduced to Kathy & her lovely cozies thru Made By Momo on one of her blog hops.
CLICK HERE to check out Kathy's work and maybe even purchase your very own cozie.

It's taking me a little while to get my blog going...it can be very time consuming, especially after a long day at work, prep dinner, tidy up the house & keeping up to date with my teenage girl ;)

Thanks for stopping by :o)
