"Snow Song"

Good Morning Everyone! I hope y'all had a wonderful weekend! We sure did! We didn't do anything real spectacular, just pretty much hung around the house, got caught up on some chores, and watched a couple of movies! It is so nice to have some down time!
This creation is for The Latte Lounge July Monthly Challenge! This is Week 4, the final week and the twist is to use Non-Traditional Colors (No Red or Green)! If you haven't been following along... Here is the full challenge as it has progressed over the month...

Christmas/Holiday Theme + Die Cuts or Punches + Snow + Non-Traditional Colors

I thought it would be easy to do the non-traditional colors; but it sure wasn't!!! I hope you will come on over and join us at The Latte Lounge for this awesome challenge! You can create cards with any of the four recipes and still be entered for some awesome prizes. We will be adding Digi Design House, DtsArt, & Stamping With Brenda, to the existing list of sponsors! So that means all together we have NINE sponsors... The Stamping Boutique, In A Scrap Creation, JLJ Designs, Glitterbabe Digi's, Stitchy Bear Stamps, Freshly Brewed Designs, Digi Design House, DtsArt, & Stamping With Brenda. Wowzer... That is a lot of prizes to given away!

    "Surprise For You, Just Because"

    Good Morning To All! For it being a short week, it sure seems long! LOL! But, on the bright side, today is FRIDAY! I am working on getting the last of my stuff for May finished so I can go ahead and get working on June! (Yep... still behind! One day I will get caught up! LOL!)

    Today I have an adorable creation to share with you! It is serving multiple purposes! (I love it when I can do that! Hee-Hee) This adorable image is by Freshly Brewed Designs called "Daisy with Flowers" (can be found under the "New Hot out of the Press Tab")! Isn't she just the cutest?

    Next the Designer Paper that I used is by JLJ Designs! It is Digital Paper, isn't it awesome? I used the gradient one from the Summer Paper Pack & the marbled red is from the Stars & Stripes Paper Pack! No more running out of DP in the middle of a project because you can just print another sheet and you are good to go! Jen just opened a NEW Store on Artfire! Be sure to go and check it out... She has Digital Images, Paper, Scrapbook Elements, Embellishments, and oh my goodness... so many more things! You MUST check out her new store, I bet you will find something that you MUST have!

    "Relax... It's Your Day"

    Good Afternoon Everyone! It is... ummm... Wednesday? Yep, that is how my week is going! LOL! We are midway through the week! Whew! It seems like this week is flying by and wow, I still have lots to do! How is your week going?

    Today's creation was created for The Latte Lounges NEW May Month Long Challenge! That's right, we are changing things up at The Latte Lounge! It is very exciting, I will give you some of the details. Each week we will have ONE challenge; but it has a bit of a twist to it! So be sure to stop in and check out each week what the twist is! The challenges will run for the whole month and then at the end of the month, LOTS of prizes will be given out! So for the first week challenge... The theme is "Mother's Day or Other Special Woman In Our Lives!" This weeks challenge is to create a card for that Special Woman! Then next week there will another challenge! I know what it is, but I have been sworn to secrecy... so I can't share that with you, YET! (Hee-Hee)
