Hi Everyone,
Happy Monday!!
Did anyone play any April fools jokes on you?
No one played one on me, nor did I on anyone else. Well we are into April, I wonder if we will get April showers now that we have been given an abundance of rain to last the year.

On to my project

 I used CTMH  ink in bamboo and tangerine for the stars. The hello is cut with thin cuts and sugar rush DSP. The  heart and the cup are from PTI
This was an easy card to make, I really like the simplicity

Today's inspiration came from Lexi Daly for MIM

Hi Friends,

So two weeks ago in the morning I had 2 cards made for the women's conference.   I had  202 finished by  Wednesday April 24th and the conference, as you recall was on the 27th.  On Friday I put all the cards in the bags and at that time we had 192 sign ups. So I had ten cards left over. The next day we had another 20 or so sign  up.  I think some of you thought I was more of a super woman than I think I am.  I finally had to go to bed at 1:00 am.    How many did I have done on Friday the 19th April..............82.  I am really thankful that I was even able to make them.  My shoulder still isn't quite up to par so I was pretty happy about that. The Dr. Says I probably will not need surgery, just continue to take it slow and do the exercises I am doing and we will check back at the 2 year mark yeah!!!!!!!!

Click Here  to see all the guesses.

Pat N.  congrats send me your snail mail and I will get a set of 4 mailed out to you on Monday.

Have a great and blessed day Diana

Hi Everyone,

I was trying to do something with my computer and somehow I lost the ability to watch You Tube through Mozilla Firefox.  I can watch it on my touch pad and I can watch it through Google chrome

I have no idea what I did. I know I was installing  something and it asked me some questions. The next thing I know I have all kinds of pop ups.

That is what I get when I try to do something when I'm not feeling up to par.  I also  set up  the voice recognition that was installed on my computer. It really hurts to type  right now.  Last night was the first night I was able to sleep in an almost reclined position

Have you ever had one of those cartridges that you absolutely had to have and then when you got it you hardly used it.???.... I'm sure you have.  When I first got Kate's ABC's I just knew I would use it a lot, well, not the case. I love the images, but they have so many layers and it is very time consuming to put one image together. Although , after they are put together they are awesome because of all the layering

I have been wanting to use this hat image ever since I got the cartridge and I even left out one of the layers, and I think it still looks good.  The hat is from page 26  I left out the shift layer 1 image. I was thinking of using one more patterned paper, but as it was I already used 5 patterns, and I wanted it to look as CAS as possible.

It was perfect for the Bitten by the Bug 2 challenge Fashion and I also followed the MOJO sketch challenge

JUNE 20, 2012***WEDNESDAY*** THIS & THAT & MPS Hello My Friend

Good Morning Everyone,


It is my design day over at SHOP PUMPKIN SPICE and I have been using My Minds Eye Indie Chic a lot, which was in  May's design kit.  I am taking a break from the Indie Chic right now (which I love, by the way).  Here is a card I made using Echo Park This & That charming.

 Here is a close up of Hello my friend from the new "Girlie Doodles" My Pink Stamper Stamps.  The stamps are actually PINK-- This is 2 different sentiments that I stuck together.

Thank you for stopping by, Have a blessed day, Diana

SUNDAY - Hello- butterflies and snowflakes

 Here is one more of those stamped backgrounds -- What do you think?

I made this back ground paper from the butterfly stamp set that I got in the mail the other day. I used Jenni Bowlin inks lemon drop, malted milk and soap powder. I then when back in with the snowflakes from the Thersa Collins Christmas home set and using brown sugar and spice tin, stamped in a few of each to get this beautiful background paper. All the card stock used is paper trey ink, basic white and harvest gold. The grosgrain ribbon is powder blue form Offray.

I hope you like this card, I think it has a very country French feel to it.
