I've been published!!

OMG I am SO excited that I can barely sit still!  I got an email from Crafting Ireland today stating that my card is being published in their online magazine today!  You can find the magazine here, my card is on page 31!

So here is my card that was selected:

Image used is Delilah's Ducky Christmas from Inky Impressions.  This image is super adorable and was a lot of fun to color in :)

Digital Delights - Inspiration

Happy Halloween everyone!  I am finally back to normal after having my computer crash over a week ago and then having to reinstall everything back on...ugh that totally sucked!  However I'm back and will be posting like normal again :0

Today over on the Digital Delights blog, it's my turn to be in the spotlight :)  For my project today I used a couple of items from the Digital Delights store.  Fist my ornament card is a template that Wendy offers and can be found here and the reindeer is from the 3D Decopouge line.  I didn't do as many layers that is offered but I really like how it turned out.  The papers aren't from the store but the Kids Christmas digital papers are very close to the one I used on this project.

Inky Impressions - Anything Goes Challenge

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Today's challenge over at Inky Impressions is ANYTHING GOES!!  We all know we like to do these one's so I definitely stepped outside my comfort zone for today's project :)

My image today is Mischievous Christopher, the sentiment is "You're Unfrogetable" nd a background image from The Pixie Cottage.  I added a charm from Inky, some flowers, twine, glitter and flowersoft.  I distressed the frame with distress inks just to give it a little rustic look.

So now head on over to the challenge blog to see what the other girls have created today and to join in on the fun!

" I was working in the lab late one night, When my eyes beheld an eerie sight, For my monster from his slab began to rise, And suddenly to my surprise, He did the mash, He did the monster mash..."

I love the little monster dancing with his friend and it definitely looks like they're having a blast!

Jen's Digi Stamps - Flight like a girl blog hop

The month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Here at Jens Digi Stamps we want to recognize the 2.5 million women who survived breast cancer,  Honor those that are standing up right now and Fighting Like a Girl we support you !

Please take the time to get a mammogram....

About 1 in 8 women in the United States (12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.

The most significant risk factors for breast cancer are gender (being a woman) and age (growing older).

These statistics came from www.breastcancer.org

Our "Fight Like a Girl"  hop will run a full week ending at 6 PM EST on Oct 16^th

Show your support leave a comment on each blog for a chance to win some Amazing Prizes

One winner will receive a  $10.00 GC to the store, 2 winners will receive  a $5.00 GC to store

Winners of the Hop will be announced on Oct 17th on  JDS blog -  jensdigistamps.blogspot.com

 winners will be randomly selected by random.org from those that complete the hop by leaving a comment on each blog 

This cause is important to me not just because I'm a female but because it's currently affecting my family.  My older sister was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year and has just finished her radiation treatments.  I have never in my life witnessed a more stronger woman than her.  She dealt with this with full force and didn't let it slow her down.  She is always willing to share her story with others so that they are aware of the symptoms or steps that they may encounter throughout their fight against breast cancer.  So this is for her, I love you Cindy more than ever!!

Here is my creation for today's hop.  I tried this design that I saw somewhere in blogland and I have to admit, I'm going to be doing a lot of more of these :)

and here is the card opened up
