Shades of Pink

The flower shown here is a flower I have never quite paid much
attention too.  It is an Oleander.  These plants do so well here in the
desert.  But I have never considered them very pretty.  I don't know why.
Their flowers really are quite beautiful.  When you stop and really look.

Today I am sharing with you what I have created for this
weeks challenge over at City Crafters Challenge blog.
This post has been Scheduled because I am
still far, far away from home and my computer.

Ros is our hostess this week. And the Challenge is to "Be Inspired".
All you need to do is add your favorite inspirational quote or Bible verse
to your project.



I just love this quote. I know you have seen me use it before,
But I just had to use it again.  This is another book mark for
a girlfriend of mine.  I had made her one for her Birthday
but her dog had tore it up.

There is lots of fun laying of paper going on here.
Using lots of mod podge.

I kinda like the way this one turned out, I might just have to
keep it and make her another one.

Here is the other side.  Lots of shades of pink going on here.

To get the detail on this challenge you can
hop on over to City Crafters Challenge Blog.


You know I have been missing what everyone has been
up to.  But like I said in my last post I promise to catch up
as soon as I get back.

Till then I do want to say thanks so much
for stopping by.

Hugs~

Decisions.. Decisions...

Hello my friends.  How are you?

My week is off to a great start.  I took a little trip to the craft store

yesterday.  That is always fun.  I don't know about you but I can

spend hours in  a craft store just browsing all the aisles..

I have to say I am pretty bad at purchasing anything.

I always play the game in my head. Do I really need this..

I already have so much stuff that I should use before I buy more stuff.

So a lot of the time I leave without buying anything.

But I really do enjoy just window shopping. 

How about you..  What does the little voice in your head tell you.  

Does it tells you to BUY.. BUY.. BUY... 

or does it say "Do I really need this".  

Decisions, Decisions.....

I am hosting again over at CCCB. So this weeks challenge is to use a 

image from Graphic Fairy once again.  

This time I chose a Butterfly image for you to use. 

I just love using images from The Graphic Fairy..

But now that I see this close up I am guessing I could have

done a little bit better on my fussy cutting..

I made another bookmark for this weeks challenge.

And used the image on both sides..

I used lots of Mod Podge on this project.

So this bookmark is nice and strong and flat. 

Should last a long time..

You can hop on over to City Crafters Challenge Blog for all the detail

on this challenge.  Or you can hop on over just to see what the 

other gals came up with.

I have Christmas card #3 done. YEA!!

I am linking up to Jingle Bells once again.

The challenge is still Santa Baby.. 

I just love using these vintage Santa images. 

I am thinking about buying some red stickles to add to some of

my Christmas card..  You know to give it that extra sparkle..

See I should have bought some yesterday while I was at the craft-store.

But does it really need it?  There I go again...

Decisions..  Decisions..

Thanks so much my friends for taking the time to leave me such sweet comments.

I really do appreciate it.

Hugs~
