Doing Better

Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while. One of my Doctors decided to try some sort of nerve block into my spine to try and help the consent pain in my left arm and well it made it worse. I was suppose to have a series of three injections in a 6 week time. After the 1st injection my pain and use of my arm had gotten worse. He decided to do the 2nd injection a little farther down my spine and it didn't help. Anyway I'm starting to get adjusted to the new complications and as soon as I get the household under control I will do my best to post at least 3 times a week again. Looking forward to stamping again, its been a long several weeks!

She was found! !

Our prayers have been answered.

Sorry the image is so blurry. Maybe for Christmas my family will get me a new camera:) I love using blue and white for Christmas things. I'm very traditional and using colors other than red, green, blue, white silver and gold are very hard for me but when it comes to Clubs & Classes I have to. That means until the holidays get closer I can do what I want! LOL

It's hard to believe but this challenge was a challenge to me. I have very limited DP and none of my stamp sets appealed to me for creating my own DP. Finally settled on my newest favorite stamp set and well it didn't turn out half bad. In fact the more I look at it the more I like it. Try the challenge for yourself and see what you can create.

Open House projects

I had an SU Open House on Wednesday night. Not many people could make it so I let everyone that came make all 3 free make and take cards. I was going to let each person choose just one card just to keep things moving along for people that could only stop in for a few minutes to pick up the new SU Cattie and sign up for clubs.

I made the scrapbook page as a sample of how to use cards to create pages. Everyone loved it. I have to give a lot of credit to my design team, my daughters Cassie & Allissa, for helping me plan the designs to use and the colors combinations. I'm terrible at making decisions. I want to use all the colors and show hundreds of cards LOL. I guess that's why I signed up to be a demo.

Did anyone notice the card on the bottom left of the photo? Yup that's the card I did for Kerin's sketch challenge #20, which I happen to win:) Thanks Kerin looking forward to this weeks challenge and I hope all my fellow bloggers will join in on it.

My scanner doesn't show it but this is a very bright and cheerful card. My son, Zakariah, called from the UK just before I made this. I guess my excitement of talking to him came out in my color choices.
