Back with Patti's Challenge!

Hi Roses! I had to redo this card. I just didn't like the looks of it and really wanted to do justice to Patti-Rose's challenge! The worst of it is that I still am not completely happy, but I don't know why!!!!!!! There is something wrong, so this is a call for HELP! SOS!!!!! I would like you to have another peak and tell me what I could have done, should have done, added, taken away! I redid the butterfly and still did not quite get the color right! Changed my pearls positions, and added the little flowers............. Oh dear! Oh me, Oh my! heheehehehehhehehe now don't be afraid, I can take constructive comments, that is why I am here asking you for help!!!! I won't bite or bark!

Have a great weekend All!!!!!!!

Hugs

Hi Again!

Hello, just a couple of cards that I finished, hope all of you are doing well. Life is busy, winter is long, but all is good in my neck of the woods! Hugs to all!

I'M LATE, I'M LATE, FOR A VERY IMPORTANT DATE: ROSES CHALLENGE!!! FOR FEB.

Oh I am so Sorry my Lovely Roses! But I had unexpected company, and had to rush to get ready for them! I had my card made up, and now that I see it here, am not to pleased with it.
When I heated the clear embossing powder on my butterfly the brown went a rust color. And now that I see my pearls, I should have inversed them! Drats! Oh well that is what happens when you are rushing, although I thought I had plenty of time to get this done, and then a phone call saying that my bil and sil were coming in, completely threw me into a loop, hehehheeeheehe! Me and my quiet weekend. Oh well, it sure was fun having them! I shall be getting on your blogs to check out all the beautiful cards you have put together. Hugs to all and a wonderful week, have to head off to work! Touralou!

A Quick Hello!

Hi Everyone!

Here is a card I finally made up this week! Had fun with the different elements especially trying to use a patterened paper, not my forté. I have to say, I have been feeling under the weather, can't figure out what it is, but no energy, constantly tired and cold shivers, Drats! No cold or flu so go figure! Toro has had a few workouts though, such a good Guy! heheheheheheeh. Wish winter would come to an end soon, but here it is never before mid April that we really start to get spring. Have a wonderful day all!

Hugs!

Hello Friends!

Hi my dear friends!

Well I wasn't able to post last week because I had to work all week, plus twice till 8 pm. To top this we had a couple of storms so the driving was horrid, and when I got home had to shovel! Uggghhhhh when is winter over.......Oh well what can I say. I like my two other friends Mary Anne and Olga, I also got a new boyfriend (sorry I meant toy). Except mine isn't named Dyson, but Toro! Well Olga and I spoke on the phone and I could hardly control myself, or my bladder for that matter! I was in stictches and could not take it any more but she kept on telling me about her and Mary Anne's new boyfriend, Dyson, and Bill's girlfriend, Oxy-Jean! You had to be there, really that girl is a hoot !!!!! I guess I was jealous and had to get a boyfriend of my own, Toro! Such a good guy! Man can he shoot the snow, ehheheheheheheheheheh! It is an electric shovel, cause I was so tired of lifting the snow over the banks and the railing on our deck. All my muscles were hurting, and will working so much at work and some nights taking 2 hours to get home, I had enough! So on Saturday of course another snow storm and I took my faithful friend on a date! Had to see what he was like, and I must say, he is a good ole guy! Now my work is cut in half!

Sadly a colleague of mine lost her mom this week, so I made up a card. Such a sad time when one loses a Mom! As my colleague said, such is life, births and deaths, but when you lose your Mom it is so hard! Oh how I know.

On a happier note, the pups are great and I am having a great time with them. Nothing new otherwise, terribly cold and windy here: -15c

Have a wonderful week all!

ROSES JANUARY CHALLENGE

Well here it is that time again, the end of the month when one our beautiful Roses expects to see the results of the challenge she put out to us and the beginning of January. That lovely Rose was Betty-Rose, that darling from Texas! This is one of the hardest I must say because she asked us to use a picture of ourselves. Well first, which one do you choose? Then what the heck is it going to say, heheheheheheeheehehhe! Well I came across this one of me and I kept looking at it, I guess I was around 3 - 4 years old. I seemed very lost in thought, and maybe even a little sad. Wondered what I could have been thinking, and then came to the idea that a little girl like this must be dreaming! I must have been dreaming or wishing or hoping! Today my love for flowers and butterflies let me add the embellishments that I did. Once during a very difficult time in my life, I thought, I could only be free of spirit, like a butterfly, flying from flower to flower, light on my wings, with nothing to worry about. So that is how I came up with this. Check out the other Roses' blogs their creations are fabulous!!! They are Betty, Kezzie, Kymie, Mary Anne, Olga and Sue! I am thankful for them being in the bouquet of my life! Thanks Betty for a great challenge, who is up next and what will it be, hehehehehehehehehhee!

Hugs to all!

I am Back!

Ok, I have made a resolution for the New Year. I will post my cards here on my blog! Will try to keep it up to date and keep better in touch with you my Friends! I have had a hard time trying to do so, but promise to make a better effort this year! I have finally had the time to make up a few cards, here they are. Hope you are all doing well! The weather here is cold and I mean cold -20c. Brrrrrrrr! Tonight is supper out with a few girls, we all used to work together at my branch, so will be fun to catch up. The Roses know my big news for this year so far, I have adopted a lovely little dog, a great addition to our home, and his big brother Loco is great with him. Grisou (Greezzoo) means little grey one heheheheheh, has adapted very nicely, he is almost two and a great little dog! Have added a pic! Have a great weekend!
