Update..

Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers.  My surgery is over and while my recovery is going slower than I'd like, it's going in a good direction.

My sitting up time is very limited and in a few weeks I hope to be visiting more of your inspiring blogs and be able to do a little crafting. Thank you all again.

Enjoy...Blessings and hugs, Lori m

A little fun

News Flash Update:

In a few weeks, I will be MIA for a month or two, I will attempt to peek in on everyone's blog sites. 

Commenting, posting or crafting of any kind, will be most likely none until I'm able to return.  All Prayers and well wishes are welcomed.

A very long over due thank you to everyone for dropping by, the lovely blog comments you leave and to all those following my blog.

A big welcome to my newest followers. 

Blessings and Hugs to all, Lori m 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

card for today.  Using a few of Beccy's digi sets and a few stamps from Unity Itty Bitty sets, here's what I came up with.

I just love the critters and needed a few fun cards to cheer up a couple of folks, these should help them giggle a little.

I'm entering this is Beccy's challenge using the bingo grid, bottom left diagonally to upper right. Add something gold, embossing, use a digital stamp.  My flowers and heart were embossed, they don't show to well in my photo.  

Thanks for dropping by, enjoy...Blessings and hugs, Lori m

Father's Day.....

card using one of the new images from Imagine That Digi's by Kris. Adorable as always, so many choices to use for Father's Day or any celebration.

Here's my monthly challenge card.  I printed it digitally and then colored it in. 

The tag sentiment is one of many included in the set.  Hop on over and check out the challenge, the DT inspirational cards, and most of all this fantastic new image set.

Just cards....

a few more cards for my card boxes. 

I was able to use my craft machine this week.  The first card up was from my winnings collection, stamp and die cuts. 

Next up is Pinterest inspired and cut and drawn on my Cricut Maker. 

The last two were also Pinterest inspired, side step rocker cards with Cricut Design Space Anna Griffin, print and cut flowers along with a few die cut hearts. 

The adorable dog above has become one of my favorite die cuts from Simon Says stamps and die cuts.

Thank you for dropping by, enjoy...Blessings and hugs, Lori m

When the Cows

come home! 

 This adorable Cow Digi stamp was shared by Beccy from Beccy's Place, to play along in her challenge.  

Such a pretty pre-colored image that will be fun on any project.

I decided to make an inside popup for my challenge entry.  I uploaded the image into my Silhouette Designer Studio program and used the popup feature in there.  FYI...I have a paid version of the software that offers more options.

For the front of the card, I used another of Beccy's Place sentiments that came with a different digi set. 

 Clean and Simple style inside and out for this card to keep the focus on her Colored Cow digi. 

I've also been practicing my coloring skills....I have a long way to go LOL.

Enjoy...Blessings and hugs, Lori m
