Whew! I can't believe it's been five years since I blogged. Time to blow the dust off this page and get it up and running again. I don't have any cards to post yet, but it's my plan to remedy that shortly. Until then, have and awesome evening and I'll talk at you later.

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was playing around with my Photo Shop today and merged one of my <a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo Stamps</a> images with a circle sentiment I created! I have some birthdays coming up this month so this was perfect for one of them. I love this cute little image and used the PNG file to layer it onto this background. Add the sentiment circle and all I needed to do was add some color! </div>

It's been forever since I have created a card! Life got in the way, and I had to take a break, but I'm back and it feels so good!<br />
<br />
First, let me catch you up on the few things that kept me away! <br />
<br />
Our youngest daughter got married!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBpNvwv7IvHaS54P2SddcPDguP7PRMwnTxoWMH6X-K8gxBoLXyKokPN_kusMlBfKsmKBAFFDfX1zjE0_VaBHWEKtTBOrZhfYwYJw5JlzADEdvniZEu7FekYedjDHqFkSwHoeIbBLuFQGc/s1600/IMG_0232edit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBpNvwv7IvHaS54P2SddcPDguP7PRMwnTxoWMH6X-K8gxBoLXyKokPN_kusMlBfKsmKBAFFDfX1zjE0_VaBHWEKtTBOrZhfYwYJw5JlzADEdvniZEu7FekYedjDHqFkSwHoeIbBLuFQGc/s320/IMG_0232edit.jpg" width="216" /></a></div>
<br />
Our oldest daughter is now engaged and will be getting married next spring!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Our youngest, our son graduated from High School!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And in the midst of all that I was dealing with medical issues that turned out to be my gall bladder, which I had removed a little over a week ago! Whew! Fast forward to today!<br />
<br />
Now that I have that all out of the way, here is the card I created using one of my many Bugaboo images and it's so appropriate because my blessings are too many to count! <br />

It's time for a New Release image from <a href="http://bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo Stamps</a>. Would you look at that little darlin? Isn't she adorable?!!!!! I featured here on this "all occasion" card, but she would be perfect for just about anything from Thinking Of You cards to Birthday cards. You decide.</div>

Good morning and how are you doing? We enjoyed our summer vacation at <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch The Bug</a> but it's time to get back on track with a Freebie Friday image for you to grab. Would you look at these cute little pea pod babies?!!!! They are adorable and make for a great We're Having Twins birth announcement so that's exactly what I did here.</div>

<br />
You should have arrived here from the talented <a href="http://angela-justmonkeyingaround.blogspot.com/">Angela Pruisman's</a> blog, Just Monkeying Around, but if you didn't and would like to join us on the hop, head on over to <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch The Bug</a> to get started!</div>

Min and Glenn, I just want to say a big congratulations to the both of you! This is a joyous event in your lives. Before you know it you'll be asking each other, "what did we do before we had kids?". They are a gift from God and I know that you will be great parents. Being the mom of three grown children, my motherly advice I want to share with you is, take the time to sit and rock that baby. The dishes, laundry and everyday stuff will always be there waiting for you, but babies grow so fast and before you know it your looking back, wondering where the time went. My dear friend gave me the same advice when I was starting out and boy was she right. </div>

Don't you just love that pig! He looks so chill!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I colored him using Photoshop and then added some depth using my copic markers. I kept the layout and details pretty clean and simple, letting him be the star of the show.</div>

Now that I've shown you my interpretation, I would love to see yours! </div>

I absolutely love our annual Christmas In July at <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch The Bug</a>, don't you?!! It's filled with fun challenges, great prizes and loads of fabulous <a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo </a> inspired projects.

Oh the weather outside is frightful. but the Christmas In July challenges at <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch The Bug</a> are so delightful!<br />
<br />
Today is the last day for our annual Christmas In July celebration and I have had a ton of fun doing the challenges and showcasing some of the many wonderful <a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo Stamps </a>Christmas images. I hope you have had just as much fun doing the challenges with us. <br />
<br />
Today is a treat because you get to get a free image. Every friday, Jodie-the very generous owner and illustrator of <a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo Stamps</a>, gives away a free image. All you have to do is head over to Bugaboo Stamps and download it. It's that easy!!<br />
<br />
Today's <b>Freebie Friday</b> image is JJ Merry Christmas and she's perfect for today's challenge!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The challenge is "Starts With A C" and since she's holding a candy cane in her hand, all you have to do is color her up and add her to your project! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">I kept with the candy cane theme and kept everything red and white. I colored the image using a combo of PSE 12 and Copic markers. It's Christmas so I added lots of ribbon accents and some bling to make it more festive!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Y'all have left so many nice comments this week and I thank each and everyone of you that came by and showed your love and support for Bugaboo Stamps. I will be randomly drawing a name from all those lovely comments tomorrow and will post it Sunday morning! </span><br />

Melekalikimaka is the thing to say on this bright <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch The Bug</a> Christmas In July challenge day!<br />
<br />
Okay so I really over did it on the song this time, just couldn't help myself. You'll understand when you see the challenge for today. <br />
<br />
It's a photo challenge and <a href="http://bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo Stamps</a> has this awesome set of Tropical Santas that are perfect for it. <br />
<br />
I chose to feature <a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/Tropical-Santa--suntan_p_2927.html">Tropical Santa-Suntan</a> but he got a little sunburned lying around in the hot sand and sun. He really should have put on his sunblock. I mean, seriously, he spends most of his time covered from head to toe in fur, he had to know he would get a nasty burn. Lol</div>

You better watch out, you better not pout. Santa Clause is coming to <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch The Bug</a> for day five of our week long Christmas In July celebration!<br />
<br />
Oh my goodness, this week has been so much fun! Y'all have left the nicest comments and have done some awesome work on the challenges. We are so happy and thankful to have you join us!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wednesdays at Catch The Bug are for humorous cards but we're adding a Bingo challenge to it as well.<br />
<br />
Now, the closest I came to humor on my card was the Santa's laughing (I put on my thinking cap, but just didn't come up with anything funny. So weird for me.) Anyhow, here is my "humorous" card featuring <a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo Stamps</a> <a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/Make-it-Snappy--Ho-Ho-Ho-Squares_p_2370.html">Make It Snappy- Ho Ho Ho Squares</a>.</div>

Good morning! I hope you are having a great weekend and you're here to check out my card for the current Stella Says Sketch challenge at <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch The Bug</a>. <br />
<br />
I love sketch challenges cause most of the hard work is already done for me. All I need to do is add the image and papers and I'm done. <br />
<br />
I am a bird lover and was in a colorful mood when I made this card featuring <a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo Stamps</a> <a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/Spring-Bird--flower-swing_p_976.html">Spring Bird-flower swing</a>.

My card is 5.5 x 5.5 but it still works.<br />
<br />
I printed the image on watercolor paper and used my watercolor pencils and aqua painter to color the image.<br />
<br />
Hope you'll join us in the challenge!<br />

Until next time, have a great day and thanks for stopping by! TTFN<br />

Good morning! Sorry I've been MIA lately. We are all moved in the new place but we are still waiting on our internet. Looks like it will be on sometime around the 16th of July! I can still get on the computer at the office, but I have to work within their time constraints so it makes it a little difficult. So glad I worked ahead on some of my cards. Speaking of cards, here is the card I made for today's <b>Anything Goes</b> challenge at <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch The Bug</a>.<br />
<br />
I was in a sunny mood when I made this card featuring <a href="http://bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo Stamps</a> <a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/Sunflowers-Stainglass_p_3105.html">Sunflower Stained Glass</a>! I love the look of stained glass, don't you?!! I colored the image and added the sentiment using PSE 12. </div>

We've almost completed our move to the new place and I've got most of the boxes unpacked. Still have some cleaning to do and then I think I'm gonna sleep for a week. Now, I haven't been all work no play though. I did take some crafty time out to show you the cute <b>Freebie Friday</b> image you can grab this week from <a href="http://bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo Stamps</a>. <br />
<br />
Check out this fun image:</div>

It's New Release day at <a href="http://bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo Stamps</a> and today's image is perfect for just about any occasion. I thought she just looked so thoughtful so I made an all occasion card with her. I created the sentiment heart using PSE12. Check it out!</div>

We are still in the process of moving. I took some time out today to repaint a set of patio furniture that my hubby wanted to throw out. That would be fine if I already had something to replace it, but I don't so painting seemed like the best thing to do. I'll post before and after pics at some time in the future, </div>

Good morning and welcome to today's post. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently saw a tutorial on Splitcoaststampers for<a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/partialdiecutting/"> partial die cutting</a>, so I thought I would give it a try. I guess you could say this is similar to s swing gate card, but this doesn't have that extra fold and cut. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my card I'm featuring this sweet little <a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo Stamps</a> image. <a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/cute-bee--flower_p_3379.html">Cute Bee Flower.</a> I've also included three photos so you can see what it looks like in all of it's stages.</div>
