Every day I feel well is a blessing and I've learned to live that way for many years now, primary due to having to live with Fibromyalgia for so long, but now also because of my Cancer battle. I also try to remember to Cherish every day and to make sure that all of my family and friends know how much I LOVE them!
As you all know, one of my greatest passions to making cards and spending time in my craft room and I'm delighted to be back at it again! I never imagined earlier this week, that I would be feeling this well and that I'd have a bunch of new cards to share, which I'm happy to do right now.

My goal for this weekend was to try to plan in the Hero Arts "90 Minute" Scramble that was hosted by my friend, Barb in the Hero Flick Group yesterday. You can read all about it HERE! And I'm thrilled to have just learned that I was the Lucky Winner!! YAY! I won a $20 Gift Card to Simon Says Stamp, which I'm sure you know is one of my favorite craft stores! Thank you Barb!!
I really LOVE the Scrambles and had missed many, so I was so happy when I saw that it was going to be hosted on a day and time that worked and was even more excited with Barb shared her theme, which was to us an "Angle" on your project. Here are the two cards that I created and this first card was created with one of my newest Hero Sets (from the new release). It's called "You're so Lovely" and you'll find it in stock over at a2z Scrapbooking! There is also a matching die set, with the same name, due back in stock very soon!!

This card was also entered in the March / Spring - Bling Challenge hosted over at LOVE - Handmade Cards Group on Flickr, which you'll find HERE!
After I finished that card, I realized I still had time to make one more and quickly was able to get this one done and posted in time. It's more simple, but still was fun to create. For this cards I used the Acts of Kindness Stamp set, which is one of my favorites. It was inspired by Jennifer McGuire, who we all know and love.
After creating those two cards, I was on a roll and feeling good so I kept going and made these fun new cards. The first two featured "pups/dogs" which is always a special theme to me, because I love my pups so much. Both were created with digi images and colored with Copics.
Card Supplies:
Sentiment from SSS - Circle Friends
This next card was inspired by the new "Touchy Feely" challenge being hosted this week at the SSS Wednesday Challenge Blog. The idea was to add some texture, which I did with a fun new embossing folder!!
Card Supplies:

And one more, which was created with some of my favorite colors (Purple and Pink) using a fun digi image from Bugaboo Stamps.

And that's it for this weekend...but I do HOPE that I can now continue to feel great and be back with many more cards very soon.
