New Cards

This week two of my friends, scrapping buddies, and former customers lost their husband and father. These two ladies lost a wonderful man. He was very supportive of his wife hobby and a great man. He will be missed by all. I pray for the family to get through their time of grief. I made these two cards to send to them. I struggle with Sympathy cards as much as going to a visitation and funeral. I hope they like them.

Great PaperCutz Challenge this week!!

This week it is a fun challenge over at PaperCutz! Make a card, layout, or craft project using something you'd find under the sea...fish, crab, mermaid, seahorse, shells, etc. Use any colors or theme you like. I had fun with this challenge and maybe went overboard a little bit. I used Life's a Beach cartridge for most of it and the title I used Hello Kitty Font. Just click on the picture to make it larger to see the detail. I have some perfect pictures to get printed to use on these layouts. Join us this week and let's have fun!!!!

My Mojo Monday entry

I am trying to get back into the swing of things with my crafting and trying to sell some of the stuff left from closing the store. If you are interested in some great deals, find me under dianek seller on ebay. Here is my entry this week for MoJo Mondays challenge #200. I used nothing but scraps on this card and used the cricut Essentials to cut the circle design. I will be needing birthday cards in the coming months, so my scraps are going to be put to use! I keep anything that I think can be used!

Clean bill of health!

I had my back surgery 7 weeks ago and a few days ago I went in for my check up. The Dr. said I was healing great and the back brace could come off! I think he saw the panic in my face and told me it would become a crutch if I did not stop using it. I explained that without it my back hurt and he told me to expect that and I had to build muscle back so start doing things. Of course, he was right and it is not as bad as it once was. He gave me a copy of the xray which showed the nuts and bolts he put in very clearly (I know they have technical names). My granddaughter Mary-Kate thought it was cool. I guess now maybe I can retire and do something! All this finally ended exactly one year to the day I closed my store. Was a long hard year of drs and pain, but it is behind me a future of good times now and some merchandise to still sell from the store....ebay I am getting for some big sales!!!

Paper Cutz Challenge #100

This weeks challenge at PaperCutz is Designers Challenge. Our DT member, Lisa decided "the skies the limit". Make your card, layout or paper craft with anything you might find in the sky! It can be sun, clouds, moon, stars etc. the imagination can take over with this one. I made this cute 2 page layout to use with the park and my granddaughter playing on the slide and swings. I just need to get the pictures on it. Please join us this week for the challenge.
