LATE Makeup For The Weekend #13...LATE

Hello! Just wanted to make sure I posted the card I made for Paper Makeups Makeup For The Weekend challenge. Ever since my whole anxiety drama I have been SO far behind on stuff. Now that I'm feeling much better I'm trying my best to catch up. So here is my card for the challenge which was a sketch!

I used Caliope with a Heart for this card. I hadn't used this cutie since last year for some Valentine treat bags and I missed him. I had so much fun inking him up and having to look at that ADORABLE face!!! My mojo was failing bad when I made this card so I'm not 100% happy with it...but I do like it!

So not too much blah blah...there are other posts to come after...lol...thanks for stopping by!

Monday Mania and CHA Relay!

Hey guys and Happy Monday? I don't know...I asked because I'm SO NOT a Monday person. I dislike Mondays with a passion...lol! Give me Saturday and I'm one happy girl! :P Anywho...I do like the fact that Club Anya has Manic Monday...why...because it's a challenge day silly! What better way to start off the week than a Club Anya challenge! I haven't really been able to participate in all of them since Club Anya & Friends kicked off...but I do hope this whips me into shape to play when possible. I've missed some really good ones too!

Well...today is MY turn to challenge YOU! WHAT? I was contacted by Jessica if I wanted to do a Monday...so DUH...of course I do! I'm a HUGE BIG fan of ALL things The Greeting Farm...but Anya is what first reeled me in to this company! :D So Club Anya & Friends for me is the place to be!

For my challenge...you're to make a card or project with the color challenge/inspiration I've provided AND to use pearls! Pretty simple right? Plus the color combo is delicious...and not to mention the inspiration picture USED to bring out the color combo! So here is my sample to give some inspiration! Can't wait to see what's created! Go to Club Anya for more info!

Now as all fans of The Greeting Farm know...TGF is having a challenge contest! {Go HERE to see the details of it} First challenge is to use a VERY NEW digi (ONLY available to those who participate) image called Mer Ian! OMG when I saw him I got all excited and got to work IMMEDIATELY on him! Mermaid Anya has a boyfriend now...lol...and right before Valentines too! Don't want her to be in the sea all lonely now do we? :P

Ok I think I've done enough BLAH BLAH for today. Feeling a bit shaky so I'm gonna go chill for a bit. I'll be back tomorrow with Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge! :D

P.S. I want to thank everyone who has left comments and sent me emails for the get well wishes. I'm happy that you, that also have or had anxiety and panic attacks, CAN relate and understand. I don't feel alone! MOSTLY, I don't feel insane that it's just me...lol. ;) It's hard living with my hubby and kids NOT understanding what it's like. They have NO idea how scary and horrible they can be. The worst thing about my hubby is his common phrase..."RELAX"! Yeah...if I could relax wouldn't I be able to NOT have them?! UGH! That's NOT what I want to hear when I'm shaking and hyperventilating and cramping up...SO NOT fun! SOOOOO...a big shaky hug to you all!

My Time Made Easy At JUGs with a Sneak Peek or two!

Wow...I feel all giddy as I post this! As you may have read in a past post about my AWE with Lauren's stuff...mostly her AH-MAZING templates and FABULICIOUS talent... Well I'm giddy because I get to work with some of her new stuff being released on Monday, February 1st! Just a day before my birthday! So Happy Birthday To Me! LOL!

Ok you guys...this template if tons of fun because the dress up posibilities are endless! Since it's close to Valentines Day...I made mine a love box! :D OMG and not to mention the cute Critters With Heart stamps ALSO releasing on the 1st at the My Time Made Easy shop... Miss Lauren is a proud momma to!

So this weeks challenge is sponsored by none other than Lauren and has some SWEET BLOG CANDY! She has a $25 gift certificate to the MTME store to one of our participants! Awesome right? You may want to use it to get some of her stamps, templates, or maybe some digital paper put together by both Lauren AND our JUGs girl Kristin!

We (the DT) are each suppose to create a project using the template Happy Mail (releasing 2/01) AND use the stamp set Critters with Heart (also releases 2/01). Here is what I came up with! I tried using Kristin's DP but OMG my ink is so low...I'm resorting to rubber right now...lol. So no digi stuff for me for a bit. I used the CUTE raccoon who just happens to be a heart thief! Notice the jailhouse stripes? LOL! He's got all the stolen hearts captured in the Happy Mail box! I stamped him 3 times to get the desired dimension and surrounded him with flowers (I think he's trying to hide?)! This little box is fully functionable and SO easy to assemble!

Well...that's it for me! Hope to see you play along (details below) and make sure to check out what the AMAZING design team has in store for you! I can't express how thankful I am for being part of their AMAZING team. January is almost over...BUT I will most definitely not forget my time with JUGs! After this Saturday I only have one more Saturday left :(. Thanks again ladies! You're all gems!

Now...in order for you to participate...Lauren has a FREEBIE template you can download called Cutesy Cover to use for your creation OR you can also play along with a template of your own...just make it 3D. Hope you play along with us this week! If you do, leave a link to your creation at the JUGs challenge blog under Mr. Linky! Make sure you type in JUGS17 when uploading to an online gallery like Spiltcoast Stampers and link up to the JUGs blog. Bloggers...head on over to the JUGs challenge blog and link up your project (not just your blog...but your blog post for this challenge...makes it easier for us to find your creation) to Mr. Linky. Remember...to be entered to be Chic Of The Week...you must link your card by Thursday, January 28th by or before 9:00 PM EST!



Sorry I went missing!

Hey peeps! Sorry I went missing for a bit! I have been laying low to rest as sleeplessness has been causing my anxiety attacks. I have had yet 2 more since Monday and I'm scheduled to go see my doctor on the 28th. She wants to run some tests to see what the underlying problem REALLY is. She said she doesn't like how I cramp up all over. So I'm nervous just at THAT to see what's going on and what my diagnonsense is...no...that is NOT a type-O...lol. Ok...I'm gonna do a little crocheting and then some stamping to play catch up. I'm bummed I'm not going to CHA and I only live MINUTES away! Oh well...I think it's good I stay behind because of my anxiety. I seem to have a mild case of social anxiety as well. Geez I'm screwed up bad huh? Alright...I'll be talkin' to ya later!

HUGS!
