I stand in awe….

I’m so sorry I’ve been so quiet but I’m starting to feel much better. Went to the doctor got some meds, she did lots of tests and the results was pneumonia and how fun is that?? So now it has been 3 and half weeks and I’m finally feeling like I’m a person. That was not fun at all. I did what the doctor said lots of rest, sleep, drink water and take my meds. That really takes everything out of a person. No more about this for the rest of the year…. Over at The Outlawz Twisted  Thursday challenge has started and the twist for this week is to make a Circle card. So I made a circle easel card.

My beautiful Goldfinch is from I Brake For Stamps. What I did was look up the Goldfinch on line so I would get a good picture of the Goldfinch and this is what I came up with. I love birds, I have six feeders in my backyard and I keep them full all year long. Remember if you stop by I Brake For Stamps I have a coupon code for you at will give you 10% off your order, it is SAVE10PAT
The lace and chipboard I had in my scraps.

The bottom of the easel card I added a sentiment it is one you can pick up at I Brake For Stamps, love the words and how true they are. My rose is from Hobby Lobby in the bridle department. Added some pearl pen color pearl white.

These are the copic markers used to color the image. Here is the close up of the pretty Goldfinch.

Thanks so much for stopping. Have a wonderful week, hope all is well on your end. I’m so behind on everything. Someday over the rainbow… I Have no idea why I said that… Take care everyone!!

I’m so sorry that I have not been around to all my friends blogs. I finally put this together yesterday. I have not been creating anything, I’m still not feeling good at all, I call the doctor yesterday and I have an appointment with her today and see what this is because I can’t get rid of this. This is going on now for 3 weeks and I know I should not wait when I get something but I thought I could get rid of myself and I never can. Enough about that. At The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge for this week is all about folds. I seen this box over at the Scor pal blog and it looked so easy.

Changing Seasons

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week end. Here in Southern Wisconsin we have some pretty dark cloud today and we are going (the weatherman says) to have rain and that’s fine because we need it. The Color Me Creative challenge #79. You can use any image and the challenge is “ANYTHING GOES” and and you can use any kind of medium. Our sponsor is BUGABOO and the image I used is called “Jar Autumn”.

Spellbinder beaded oval to cut the image out. For the corners used cherry lynn designs lace corners B172 Deco G.

The paper I used was from my scraps. I sponged around the beaded oval with brilliance ink color beige.

My flowers I did not make they where ones I had. I colored them with my copics. I used Martha Steward branch punch for the greens. I want to point out the center of the flower I colored, I added Suze Weinberg’s Beadazzles called Tango. Also check out my lady bug that I made out of pearl pen colors red and black. I’m going to do a tutorial on now to make them for you.

For the inside used Martha Steward laurel leaf border punch. Left it open for a written or stamped sentiment. These are the copic marker used to color the image.

For the jar I added Judi Kins glass micro clear beads. Shimmers to the background in soft blue and sparkle. Not sure if you can see that.

I do have to tell you that the weatherman was right, it is raining out. So this is a great day to be in the craft room. Fantastic NEWS…. I know I had told you that I was in Austin Texas it was not for fun, my sister-in-law had brain surgery. I want to tell you that when she took a shower she was able to FEEL THAT THE WATER WAS WARM. So time will tell but this is a huge step for her getting her feeling back in the button half of her body. She is my HERO!! Thanks so much for stopping by and hope your week end is full of crafting time.
