CDAC Progressive Challenge #10

Today is a start of a Brand New Progressive Challenge over at CDAC (Crafters Digital Art Center) and the theme is Into the New Year.

How does the CDAC Progressive Challenges work? The CDAC Progressive Challenge is a proactive freebie challenge. What that means is as long as you are proactive by making and submitting cards to this challenge you will continue to get freebies offered in a large variety of styles. These images are created by the artists that have groups here on CDAC and by those that participate in the CDAC drawing Challenges. This is a fun way to get and use fabulous images that will be offered during these challenges. You will have a full two week to enter the challenge, so not only will you get these images free (if you started with cdacpc9), but if you participate in each of the challenges during that series you will go into the drawing for the Grand Prize. EVERYONE that plays is a winner, because EVERYONE that plays earns the next challenges images for free. Repeat the process again, and you will receive the next freebies again and so on and so on.....

Weirdest thing I just noticed on all of my Photo collection I don't have a good picture of the Golden Gate Bridge considering I've lived in San Francisco.

Happy Birthday to my Baby

Today is very Bitter Sweet For Me.  My little one is 1 Years Old Today.  2011 seriously went by so fast.  It's bitter sweet because, I can't have anymore kids since I had my tubes tied already.  Ya'll probably think I'm crazy 4 kids and I would still want more.  They are just such a joy to have though and they bring me and my hubby so much Happiness.

Here is a look back of a few LO that I made for him

Happy 1st Birthday Alexander Kai, Love you so MUCH!

SWS #1

It's officially 2012 yesterday.  I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year.  So how about I start the New Year by joining in a Challenge.  I know everyone is probably wondering how in the world did I manage to make something in the hotel, well I didn't I have several cards done that I have never posted and I thought this one would be perfect for the new Stamping with Sami Challenge over the SP Stamps Blog.

For the new SWS Challenge it is to Stamp Something!  Use your SP and Company Stamps on any project.  Here is the link for the official rules.

Here is my card:

Card Size 4.25 x 5.5

Base SU! Chocolate Chip cardstock

For the Background I used SP and Co Sewing Chic Stamp Set, I stamped it with different SU! Ink to create my background

Ribbon is from my Stash

That pretty frame and sentiment is also from the SP and Co the Sewing Chic Stamp Set,  Sami also sells coordinating SVG Cuts for this stamp set so check out her store.

Happy New Year!!!!

Welcome 2012, hopefully you don't go by as fast as 2011 did, LOL!

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's Eve Celebration.  Wishing you all a very Healthy, Safe and Prosperous New Year!

To all my Friends, Followers and visitors of my blog, I just wanted to say a very special thank you to ALL of you.  I appreciate you following and visiting my blog.  I really really enjoy reading all the Sweet Comments you leave me, thank you so much for inspiring me to share my love of creativity thru this blog. Last year has been the best year for me not only on my personal life but also my crafty life.  I can't wait to start the New Year!

I was looking everywhere for a wine bottle to put this in but we don't have wine at home since we don't drink,  I mean I love fruity alcoholic drinks, just not wine, LOL
I used my spellinders for this on, I forgot which label, sorry:}
Before I printed out my image from Cindy's Digi called Happy New Year Owl, I already added the sentiment in using my PSE 5.

Hope you like it.
