 Hi There Everyone,

 I have a winner for the October Linky Party!!

I also have a card to share with you- This is the first of many that I will be making from my MDS2+ . Stampin' up had a special that just ended with an awesome amount of digital products and I've done Hybrids for many years, but this will just be more fun to have some new elements-- (I think the Cameo isn't too far behind).  That will probably be my Christmas present from hubby.  He already told me yesterday that he ordered his Christmas present from me.  Funny how that works.
I hope you like my card. It is really simple, but I had too jump in slowly, as there are a few glitches I am trying to work out (usually operator error)

I hope you like it.






Congratulations Shawn! Please E-mail me your address and I will have this shipped to you ASAP- You will love them.

CTO: Thank you
DCD: Thank you

Have a blessed day, Diana.

Good Morning Friends,

This is an extra post for the month that I am doing for  Creative Inspiration Paints.  I love these paints, but for this design I chose to use the Delequence clear embossing powder to give the snowflake on the little purse a wet, freshly fallen snowflake look I used  a combination of  core'dination, recollections, canvas corp and PTI cardstock. I made 4 different cards for each little purse favor and I made the envelopes to  match. I did these by hand if anyone would like the folds and measurements let me know. I was able to get 2 envelopes to fit the 3x3 cards from one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11. 

 The flourish and CI delequenced clear  embossed snowflake decorating the front of the purse

The four different designs of the cards that are in the purse, are from Teresa Collins December 25 cricut cartridge

  Another image from the Cricut December 25th cartridge

Remember there is also a challenge going on right now at Creative Inspiration paints, for a chance to win these awesome paints. Anything goes. If you can't wait to see if you have won the paints, they are on sale right now through January 1st- 10% off

Good Morning Friends,

Another week begins, and I have one busy week coming up, Friday is the annual women's Christmas tea and I have not even decided what type of gift I will be doing for my guests. I have given it some thought, but I have been so busy with computer and imagine technical problems  and then on top of that being away for the better part of the week, set me back. I will move forward now and start preparing for it.
I did get a card done for a sick friend, they are not sick yet and I don't know who it is, but rest assured someone I know, will be sick, so I have a card made ahead of time.
I hope you like it, I think it is kind of funny and that it will cheer who ever it is up! I went for the CAS look.

Good evening Friends,

I tried to get a card done earlier, I needed inspiration. I thought about cards and images all the way home. So today after a lot of hours, calibrating my imagine machine I came up with this CAS card.
I love Christmas and the tree  is amongst some of my favorite images of the Christmas season. I love the way this card came out. I hope you do to.

POST THANKSGIVING TURKEY COMA

CLICK HERE  for my DL.ART Thankful Thursday Linky Party ending November 30

CLICK HERE  for my DL.ART Thankful Thursday challenge ending  November 24
CLICK HERE for my DL.ART Thankful Thursday challenge ending  December 1



Hi Friends,

I have one challenge closing in a few hours.  Giving you the heads up!

I sometimes make a project for a specific challenge and then I forget to enter it -- so just in case you were thinking of entering, I thought I would give you a gentile reminder.

I just got back in town a couple of hours ago You all know the drill, I am sure, unpack, wash clothes, put the luggage away, get fed---(again).

I have no turkey leftovers--- because the dinner was at my MIL's.
Wednesday night DH and I took everyone out for dinner. Thanksgiving day  my SIL Jen did the Turkey dinner-she did a great job!! I did  the pie and the rolls. (and the whip cream)
The next day I cooked the dinner which was easy, because it was a reheat of Jen's.  I still got the accolades.
We had such a wonderful time. I really embrace family time, because you just never know...........

My B-I-L's term "TURKEY COMA" after eating the turkey is justified by the following statement

"Turkey does contain L-tryptophan, an essential amino acid with a documented sleep inducing effect. L-tryptophan is used in the body to produce the B-vitamin, niacin. Tryptophan also can be metabolized into serotonin and melatonin, neurotransmitters that exert a calming effect and regulates sleep. However, L-tryptophan needs to be taken on an empty stomach and without any other amino acids or protein in order to make you drowsy. There's lots of protein in a serving of turkey and it's probably not the only food on the table."

I am glad to be home and I will try to get some visiting in.

Ps. I know my linky was not working right for the last challenge, but there was nothing I could do with it, seeing as I had no computer access. I fixed it and you should be able to enter the challenge with no problem now.

Many blessings to all of you, Diana.

Hi again Friends,

After my little rant earlier about my imagine machine I thought I better, get back to my state of gratitude and  thankfulness for all the blessings in my life.

I am pretty sure my computer guy will be able to fix the imagine. I hope.
I thought I would make him a Thank you card. -- so I probably should go on the masculine side.

After working on it I thought I would put a bow on it -- Do you think that took away from the masculine side?
I will give it to him anyway. I like the way it came out. I rotated the sketch clokwise once

I used Autumn celebrations
the green circles is from TBB&M 2 the blue one is punched
Ribbon: ginger bread cookies from my craft spot

Hi Friends,

I had planned on spending Friday catching up on all the blogs I have missed only to find my computer was really acting up my keypad and mouse went haywire. I had downloaded a blogger friends game to play and nothing was working right. I spent the past three days trying to get it working right. I was able to comment on a few posts, mainly submissions to my linky party  and challenges.
Next, my imagine is not working correctly-- Provo Craft has NO SUPPORT for it-- if it is out of warranty you are out of luck there are  NO SERVICE centers or places they recommend to get it fixed. To top it off they have discontinued making it.  My question -What does a person do with all the pattern cartridges?
I think I have almost every pattern cartridge they made
What did I do?

I took it to my local computer guy- He said he will look at it- I took the Mr. Frosty along with all the paraphernalia he will need to fix it-- Hopefully. I think he is looking forward to playing with it.
I will keep you al posted.

Here is my post for today.  I miss using my imagine. I hope they come up with a solution.
What am I thank ful for today-- All of you and that it is not raining today.

 I used the sizzix large tag
PTI scarlet jewel, Kraft
Vellumn
Timholtz sizzix rosette die
authentique
Creative charms rhinestone
lace from my stash
siizzix small die
Stitched on my machine
gold sakura pen for the faux stitching


Anything but a card challenge: sticthing faux or real
Catered crop: lace
