An oldie but goodie

This is one of my all time favorite images from Squigglefly--it was one from the very beginning...but one I still adore! I thought I would get started on Valentines, now that Christmas is officially over.

I am not sure if she is even available anymore--I couldn't find her --but that is one great thing about Dig's--once you purchase them, you have them forever! She is still available at Squigglefly-HERE.
Isn't she just precious?!!
Hope you all have a great day!

I am so excited -- I am getting a cricut imagine-- and my hubby got me a new laptop for Christmas!! I should be all set now! I can't hardly wait until Thursday!!
Have a great rest of the week!

Have you seen these yet?

WOW! If you are ribbon and bow challenged like me --do I have a link for you! I am so excited to find these LOOPY LOOPY BOWS over at THE CUTTING CAFE!! They are so simple to make and look fantastic!!! I have only had the chance to make this one, but can't wait to get more time to play around with them and make more!!! I cut these out with my Make The Cut-(I was even able to change up the sizes on MTC)-but I think they would be easy to print and cut out yourself too!!

There is even a step by step video which you can find HERE.  Go check it out!! Have a great day!

A new Squigglefly Challenge...

WOW! I can't hardly beleive that it has been a whole two weeks since I posted last!!
(STILL super busy at work--and this week will probably be the busiest)
The new SQUIGGLEFLY CHALLENGE for today that Marlene picked was: Clean Simple Holiday....
I made two cards to show for this one, for the first one I used: I HEART CHRISTMAS TREE-by JANE BELJO

for the second card I used a "sneek peek" image: CHRISTMAS MEDLEY-by JESS HOLLAND
                                                               coming soon!

How simple they both were to make!! Thanks Squigglefly!

Winter Wonderland

Hi all!
Well, I am SO excited to say that I have almost all of my Christmas shopping done!! (and wrapped and under the tree!) That doesn't usually happen in this family! I know that the next four weeks are going to be very hectic at work--as we are short handed with the other clerk still off--so I have done most shopping on-line this year!

It is Monday and we all know that means it is time for a new Squigglefly Challenge--this week the challenge is: Winter Wonderland. I have used one of  the newer images, found over at Squigglefly: Trimming the Tree -by Rachel Goble. I added some neat ribbon I purchased recently, and here is my card....

Thanks for stopping by! It always makes my day....sorry I haven't had the time to get around much and say HI---I hope to soon!!

What? The weekend is over already?

Well, this weekend (as all others) just flew by! I did manage to get 30 some cards made....but not a pic of a one of them---can you believe that? I made lots of cards for mail carriers....using the cute mailbox that is found on the Jolly Holidays Cricut cart, very cute!! Emily stayed at a friends house on Friday night then I picked her up at Roller Skating after I got out of work on Sat.
Today we went to the local Library and they had games and crafts, and they showed the new Winnie The Pooh movie--Emily won the Movie while we were there, how cool is that?!! Now she is at a Thanksgiving dinner and craft get together with the Girl Scouts. The program is called Little Sisters, and has been very cool/and fun  for Emily to be involved with!
Is everyone ready for Thanksgiving? In case I don't get back before then...Hope you all enjoy the day with your families!

                                                       HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
                                         

Please Pray for my Best Friends Husband

My best friend and her family just found out that her husband Chris (age 41) has lung cancer. He is in the ICU at a hospital in Cary N.C and on a waiting list to be transferred to Duke. They are in shock --as he has never been a smoker, or exposed to any danger that they know of. Please keep them on your Prayer list--it would be much appreciated. Thank You!

New Squigglefly Challenge

Time for another Squigglefly Challenge--this week the challenge is to make a Birthday card, it is Marlene's week to pick the Challenge and since it is her birthday this month --she picks Birthday Card! I have used one of the Squigglefly images--this one is called "Bored Beatrice"  and is by none other than Marlene! Beatrice comes with a sentiment too, but I used my own for this card.

As you all probably know the Post Office was closed on Friday for Veterans day--so I went with a couple of gals to a craft crop-there were lots of vendors there and I purchased lots of new papers and crafty items-fun to see all the goodies available out there!!
Well, hope you all have a great week!
Rhonda

MINI CANDY IS NOW CLOSED

Challenge card for The Cutting Cafe's Case it Tuesday

Hi--I am really down to the wire on this one! I meant to get it done last night and then it just didn't happen.

So we were to case a card made by Julia--which you can see here. I used The Cafe's-Searching for the perfect Pumpkin file, and used some SU stamps for the background. Hope you like it--and there is a new challenge up as of today (Tuesday)--so make sure to go on over and "CASE" it out!

Don't forget to enter my Small Halloween Blog Candy--only 5 have entered and it ends Friday-so your chances are pretty good, at this point! Check it out HERE.

A Heartfelt card

This card is going out to a lady whom I have never met, her name is Beverly. She stopped at the scene of a horrible accident that one of my brothers best friends Dave was in, about a week ago. He was on a motorcycle--and  from what I understand, he hit the back side end of a semi truck going in the opposite direction--and he has completely lost his arm! This lady happened past and she was a nurse--Thank GOD--she saved his life!! Between her and one of her male family members-they were able to control the bleeding enough to keep him alive until EMS got there!! She and her family deserve a medal of honor--he is such a good kid-(and probably only about 39 years old)-I am so happy she was driving by at that moment!! It will be long process for him to learn how to do everything one handed, but at least he is alive!! I have added an angel to the card I am sending her-because she is most certainly his angel!

my cute little image is from Lori by Designs! The sentiment is from another image she has as well, and fits perfectly--as it does make my heart smile to know there are still people like this out there!!!

New Squigglefly challenge

Hi all! Today there is a new Squigglefly challenge---this week it is a sketch!
Hurray!
You can find the sketch over at the Squigglefly Challenge Blog. If you play -you have the chance to win a free image or free set of images! And there are always an assortment of free images to download--so what are you waiting for?
Here is the card I made-

I used the image set: Hang in there spider by Marlene S

Don't forget to enter my small blog candy HERE.

SMALL Halloween Blog Candy and a card!

Hi all--just a few extra goodies I purchased the other day. If interested-all you have to do is comment.

Random.org will pick a winner on Friday.
I recently purchased My Digital Studio from SU--I am loving it so far! This little cutie was from a set you could add on--Greeting Card Kids--I just think she is ADORABLE!! I have used some SU ribbon as well. The little sentiment is from The Cutting Cafe: Autumn Days Printable Stamp Set.

See you tomorrow with the new Squigglefly Challenge.

MINI CANDY IS CLOSED

CCR Sports challenge and Squigglefly

Hi everyone! Wheww...what a week! Today we went for another visit to Grand Rapids to see the Dr. about Emily's arm--she got a pretty good report, but the Dr. does want to see her again in 6 months. She has a large amount of bone growth on her elbow, and they want to watch it closely to make sure it doesn't affect her growth plate. I have been trying to work on this page for days now, and am so glad to see it finally finished...I really like how it turned out! I have made this sports page for the challenge over at: Creative Cutter Room, that I found from Carri's blog. I used the cricut for the all of the cut-outs except for the adorable little cheerleader!! She is a special digi-Rah Rah Rhonda-as she was made for me by Squigglefly's  Chesney Young the first time around when I was on their DT.

Here is a better pic of Rah Rah Rhonda! Isn't she just perfect for any Cheerleader scrapbook page!!

And here is a pic of my little Cheerleader-Emily!
Hope to see you soon! While we were away today, we got the opportunity to stop real quick at the scrapbooking store --so I have bought just a couple extra goodies to give away--so make sure to check back often!

A Challenge Card

Hi all! I have made this card for the very first Challenge going over at: LadyLuvBug's Blog! I have remade a card similar to one I had made when I was doing SU--but looking at the one from way back then--it was pretty plain and very simple...I like this version much better!I have used SU stmap set: Autumn Days... just by adding the extra DP papers and the doodling, and that fun leaf brad really spruces this new card up--and the old version did not have a sentiment either--which is part of the challenge!! The challenge was to make a Birthday or Anniversary card using fall colors. The 12th is also Janets Blog-A-Versary, so make sure to stop by and tell her HI!

The prize for this challenge? At the end there will be a drawing for a stamp set from the wonderful and talented Miss Emma of the  My Creative Time Blog.  You can check out all her delicious stamp sets HERE. If you want to get in on this challenge--better hurry--it only runs through the 12th! Have a great week!!

Winner of the mystery FBD Blog Hop candy

The first # that random picked was Heather! Heather is the owner of FBD--so since I am sure she has the stamp already--I had random pick another winner--so the winner is:

Todays card I have made using: FUN WITH SILHOUETTES--which includes 66 images, and now has been updated with 36 of the images that are cutting files!! ( I used my cricut and MTC to cut out the two background trees) I also used: EVERYDAY MINI WORDS  which I then punched out with my SU tag punch.

Hope you all have a great day--I have a BUNCH of catching up on to do today! And so far, (and it is 11:24am) my hubby seems to have forgotten today is our anniversary!!! I think I may have to whip up a - your in the dog house" card for him!!!

Here is the card I made--then asked my hubby to look at--yep--he had totally forgotten!!! This image is from Squigglefly and  is called In The Dog House--by Marlene S. It was so perfect for today! He did take Emily and I out to dinner (late lunch) at LaSenorita after that-so all is well! Wow--what weird weather we are having today--it thundered and rained so hard while we were at the restaurant that the lights went out--so we hurried home , we figured our puppy Max was scared to death by himself--and it hadn't even rained here!! But boy those clouds are sure dark ones!!

Squigglefly Challenge Card

Hi all!
The challenge this week over at Squigglefly Challenge blog is: touchy -feel y. I have combined two squigglefly images: Circle Sentiments-and Zen Dragonfly. I am not sure if you can tell from the pic - but I have used flock on the dragonflies and cattail.

Have a great day!
