Christmas Card Using Ching-Chou Kuik Christmas Venice Night

Hello friends.  Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.  I hope you have time to browse and enjoy my creations.  I love creating and giving my creations to the people I care about.  It means the world to me to be able to share my love with all of you in Blogland.  

You are all such a blessing to me with your comments, friendships and fabulous creations.  I love this creating community.  I don't think I would have survived all my health issues; if it wasn't for all of you.  It is a struggle sometimes to create when I feel so bad; but I feel blessed everyday for having my crafting and all of you to help me make it through each day.  Thank you.

It is time for another Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration Post and our topic this week is "Use Red or Green or both.  I am using a shade of green; which is my very favorite for creating Christmas cards.  I received this gorgeous snowflake paper free with my Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine; and had to use it for this awesome cat.  Be sure to visit the CCK blog daily; so you can see all the fabulous creations by the DT.

Thinking Of You Card using Art by Miran Lovely Lani image

Hello friends!  What is going on in your life right now?   I am still trying to play catch up with making my DT cards.  I have to admit that I did create two extras outside the normal ones due; so I guess I am not doing too bad.  I just need to catch up with the regular ones that are due before their due dates.  I like to have them finished at least a week or more ahead of time; preferably a month early. That way I don't feel stressed; especially if I don't feel well.

I fell in love with this and all the other New Art by Miran digi stamps that just came out in October.  This link is for all the new 2016 digi stamps.  Be sure to check out all the others as well.  Mi Ran is so talented.  I have to have all of her digis.  I just need to feel better; so that I can create up a storm. LOL!  This one was named after a dear friend of mine, named Lani.  She lives in Hawaii.  I just got a text from Lani and she loved it!

It's time for another Art by Miran Challenge 71 on her blog.  I love being part of this awesome team.  Here is the link for Art by Miran Etsy store.

Sympathy card using Conie Fong Molly Fairy digi

Hello friends.  I hope everyone is doing well; and hopefully enjoying fall weather where you are.  It is still in the upper 90's here in Southern CA.  I don't think we are going to have fall this year.  LOL! 

I fell in love with this fabulous Conie Fong Molly Fairy digi as soon as I saw her and had to have her and color her right away.  LOL!  My friend, Sue, lost her mother last week; so I needed to create a Sympathy card.  I thought this little fairy would be just the perfect image to work with.  I am also entering her in the Conie Fong Facebook challenge - Fall Colors.  

As You Like It - Teddies or Fairies/Why? I love both; but I would have to say Fairies is my favorite.  They feel so magical and full of love.  They both make me smile; but the fairies touch something deep within my soul.  I love them!
