Pssst... lookie here :)

... taking my finger off the pause button!!! 

I've missed you all SO very much :) 

I've been coloring and getting crafty this past week and it feels SO good to get all inky again!!! 

I have a new post with Sparkle Creations coming this Thursday!!! Yaaay!!! 

Stay tuned!!! xo

Activating the PAUSE Button...

Hello everyone, it's been a while... 

You have probably noticed that I haven't been posting lately
and that half of my DT duties have either come to an end and unfortunately, with the other half, I have had to step down... 

there are a few reasons as to why,
but don't worry, I won't bore you with the details ;)

All is good! 

I have been creating cards, stamping, doing DT stuff and blogging
for over 3 1/2 years! 

And I have loved every single minute of it!!! 

But it is time for this chica to take a break... a long break... 

I want to thank you all so very much! 

All of my family, friends, fellow DT-ers, followers, supporters! 

Without you all I would not have lasted this long :)
I truly appreciate everything you all have done for me!!! 

I won't be far, but even so, I will miss you all SO very much!!! 

Big hugs to all, xoxo!!! 

PS, of course I cannot completely stay away from the computer! hee hee... 

You can find me on Facebook, Twitter and my book blog
until things start going on the creative side again ;)

Thank you!!! 

Mahalo!

Good morning :) 

I'm so happy to have a card to share with you today! 

Today starts week 2 of the latest Sparkle Creations Challenge... 

And here is the card that I made using... 

Karber "Hawaii" Clear Stamp Set

I really do love coloring her hair! She's such a cutie :) 

Please be sure to stop by the Sparkle Creations Blog for more details! 

and don't forget to say HI to these lovely ladies too :)

See Ya Later, TGF :)

TGIF to a bittersweet day... 

The day has finally come to see 'see you later' to The Greeting Farm :( 

Not a good-bye, because I plan on visiting a lot and seeing all of my girls often enough! 

But it is my last day as Team Captain, sniff!... 

And of course, I kept putting off my post for today - denial? procrastination? 

All of the above ;) 

SO, as I started out this post this morning, thinking that we were suppose to post our favorite TGF cards, lol, these lovely ladies surprised me with their beautiful cards and I am so deeply touched - 

You must visit their blogs and leave them some love today :) 

A big thank you to Jessica for EVERYTHING! ... to Marie too :) 

And a special thank you to April, Joni, Lisa and Sharette! 

Such sweet girlies, had a great time working with all of you!!!

Here are some of my all time favorites from this awesome team :)

AND thank you to all of you who have supported me, The Greeting Farm, for stopping by and commenting and playing along with our challenges :) 

Have a wonderful weekend! 

See you later ;)

I Dare You 2 Glimmer!!!

Good morning and happy M-day to you :) 

It's a new week! and we're looking forward to lots of good things!!! 

I'm starting off the week right with The Greeting Farm's 

ANYTHING GOES Fun Day Monday Challenge! 

Even though it's a bittersweet challenge for me, 

this is our last week as DT on the challenge blog :( 

I am going to miss working with these girlies so very much, sniff!!!

So for this challenge, I decided to use another newbie stamp - 

Glimmer Bean 

Here's a close-up... 

I added a bit of sparkle to her :)

I have a card to show you today, yippeee! 

There is another Friday Spy Day Challenge on 

The Greeting Farm's Farm Fresh Challenge Blog today! 

This week, we are "case-ing" Lou Mac's card... 

I tried to go with the same layout she used, 

and I also tried to be as decorative as I could with embellishments too - 

but, I am not as bold as she is :) 

Here is my card using the most cutest ckear stamp evaaa... 

"Shimmer Bean" 

I told you she was a cutie!!! 

Hope you'll play along with us this week! 

Be sure to hop along and visit the rest of the DT too :)
