Happy New Year

Well I have been MIA for a while. With all my nerve damage it was getting hard to do even the simplest of things. The area we lived in had high humidity and the weather was constantly changing which made it extremely hard on me. We had been wanting to move from the area for years but  thought it would be years before we could. Then all of the sudden an amazing opportunity opened up and WE MOVED to Colorado!

God just lined everything up to create an awesome job for my hubby in a beautiful location. I have felt much better here. I have been able to get out and enjoy the scenery, watch a movie, and be pushed around the mall. I feel like I have a new lease on life! Of course, getting out in public for the first time in years made me susceptible to getting a cold. I can handle being sick opposed to having unrelenting nerve pain all the time though. LOL

The good news is that now that I am over my cold and sort of unpacked (lol), I will be able to craft more. Yay!

The card was for my mom's birthday. I used Heart Felt Creations paper. (then I covered all the pretty paper up ...haha) The flowers were all white and inked with distress inks to provide a pop of color.

TH Distress Inks used: Seedless Preserves, Aged Mahogany, Scattered Straw, Wild Honey, Peacock Feathers, Bundled Sage, Peeled Paint, Shabby Shutters, and Forest Moss.


I hope you all have a great new year and look forward to many more crafty projects to share with you.

Snowflake Window Cards

Hello crafty friends. Sorry I have not posted in a while. I had a bad cold and just did not feel up to crafting for a few weeks. You know it had to be bad for me to not even craft. LOL

I have a special post on Jess's blog today. It features a couple of cards with snowflakes and cutout windows.
Here is a sneak peak

You can pop over to Jess's blog to see the video and download the cut file.

Cards for Project I Care

Been busy making cards for Project I Care.

Just what is this Project I Care?
Well, first a little backstory...

I helped my mother in law search for wigs and undergarments after she underwent a mastectomy and chemo. It was such a difficult time for her. Finding specialty items to help her feel better about her changing body was not easy. We found a great little store that catered just to breast cancer patients and survivors. Their kindness and help was wonderful. 

Jim, the Gentleman Crafter, had an amazing opportunity through his day job to organise a boutique for special items for breast cancer patients. All the proceeds go back to the Breast Cancer Center . 

Jim started Project I Care to ask crafters to make cards for the staff and volunteers at the Breast Cancer Center Boutique to send to store patrons to say thank you and encourage them.
