I'm Back!! And with some cards & LO's :)

Hello Agian!!!

It's been awhile since my last post.  I have the internet again though :) YAY ... Now i'm not so bored!

I've had medical problems, but I'm back now :)

I started scraping again, mostly cards and digi's.  I reciently came back from Washington State, unfortuantly it was for a family tragedy, my grandpa died on Easter Sunday. I made my grandma a card and a second one for a gift from my self, my parents and uncles/aunts. Here they are!  Oh, and her favorite color is Red ... LOL just like mine!

Here is another that I created shortly after the above cards, while I was bored sitting at home!

Ok ... I'm sitting at 44 followers! Almost at 50!! Please share so I can reach my goal and move on to 100 followers! I'm now here to stay, so I'll be posting about every other day! I will also be starting a challenge next Monday!

 I also have started messing around with Digital Layouts with the MySuitesV3 Program ... I think it's easier to use the V2 version!

Here are some that I have completed for Colorful Creations

Challenges ... We have roughly around 20 or more "Events" (Challenges) each month that are created by fellow followers that are recruited for the Design Team (DT's) ... I was trying out for a DT position last year, but then I got sick and was diagnosed with cancer. I am still fighting it thanks to some missed tissues during a surgery to remove my cervics due to Cervical Cancer and now I also have a tumor in my right leg called an "Enchrondroma" which might be changing. Very painful but manageable right now. I'll be seeing a specialist with in the next couple of weeks to do further testing, until then I will be completing challenges by these wonderful ladies and gentlemen!

Here are a couple of the LO's that I have completed:

This one I did in honor of my son :) He is my Lil Fish! He was always asking to go in the pool :)  He is such a sweet little boy!

 This one is one of my favorites ... I was in Washington State for a couple of months while my husband was deployed. During that time, my Grandfather had passed away on Easter Sunday, so after his funeral ( about 2 weeks after) my Grandmother wanted to do a family BBQ.  All of my Uncles, Aunts, my Parents and my Brother and his Fiance came. This is a picture of our family :)

 My Lil Star ... My youngest son, John "JC", (also pictured above) loves posing for the camara ... The camara loves him :)

This LO was created for an "Inspired By" Challenge, the Inspiration that was chosen was a German Chocolate Cake ... LOL ... So I took the caramel and chocolate colors and mixed them, I also took the shininess of the caramel and through in some glitter splashes behind the picture and framing the picture. There is journaling in one the stars, the lower right star.

Ok now on to some more exciting news ...

I will be having a giving away for celebrating my welcome back! And my 50 Followers Giveaway is still in effect ... so PLEASE ... Help me to get from 44 Followers to 50 .. Once I do I will randomly select 3 Followers to win a prize from me :) The prize will consist of papers and embellies :)

I would also love to start a weekly challenge here on my blog with prizes for the winners :) These prizes will consist of either of the following :  Gift Certificates to a crafting place, papers, embellies, etc .... Each week will be a random prize and I will not list the prize until that week of the challenge.

I will call it ... Angela's Weekly Challenge.  The challenges will start once I reach 50 followers. I hope to gain more than that and at each increment of 50 followers that I gain I will give out more prizes!!!  So please share my blog and participate in my challenges. It will be fun ... Fun sketches and fun prizes!!!

So ... keep checking back!  I love comments, weather they are good, bad or moderate :)

Just click on the names of the communities and it will take you to it!

But first I have some yummy giveaways to share with you from some of my scrappy friends!

Ok so there you have it ... Some yummy blog candies for you! All you have to do is go to their blogs, become a follower and comment on the post! Then put it on your blog for all to see, to help them reach their goals!

Another little announcement, I have decided to change my "100 Followers" to "50 followers" and go up from there!
I will create another post to advertise it, but all followers will still be in the running for all 3 blog candies! So don't worry, but once my post goes up, Please put it up on your blogs to help me out to reach my goal!
** I would love to start doing my weekly challenges again but I need more players! Please comment on this post if you would like to see the challenges come back and if I get enough comments and participants I will re-start my weekly challenges!

** Really quick before my new creations get posted, I would like to thank all of my followers for all the comments and support! **

Ok so now on to my new creations! All of these I did for an online crop over at Maryanne's Scrappy Gifts Blog Frog Community! I hope you all join her community and mine for some fun crops and useful info on techniques and sharing of creations to get some new inspirations!

 I love these types of cards, the un-usual ones! I love the not so typical cards! This one is called a Joy Fold Card! It's pretty simple! Here is theTUTORIAL for this card, just click on the "tutorial" and follow the directions and in no time you will have created you're very own Joy Fold Card!

 This one, "Friends are Flowers that never fade" card is a bright and cheery card! I love bright and cheery cards! They are so much fun to give to friends and family and to watch their expressions when they open the envelope!

 This one I got the inspiration from Vickie's Blog (just click on "Vickie's Blog" and it will take you to her blog) She is such an awesome creator and a great scrapper! I love getting inspiration from her work!!
I love making Christmas time cards and New Years cards! I think they are so much fun! This year I plan on making all of my Christmas Cards to send to my family and friends!
I think it means more to create your own holiday cards to send out, it comes from the heart!

This LO I did for a Recipe Challenge on Maryanne's Crop! She asked us to create an LO and then come up with a recipe for it, Mine was TIME and each letter represents a recipe item to create an LO! It was fun to do and I love creating these types of challenges!
She is having another Crop on her Blog Frog Community (link is above before the showing of these creations) in September! I am going to try to make it but I'm having to move to a smaller apartment on the 16th and clean all in one to two days :( But it's ok, because LOWER RENT!!! hehehe ... gotta love it :) It's so worth the work, don't you think?





Well there are the newest creations! I hope you like them!  Feel free to comment about the newest creations! I love comments, comments are nice to read and brighten up my day!

I hope everyone has a lovely Thursday! Especially now that school has started! :) My son is in the 4th grade now and he seems to love it! Their first day of school was yesterday! I think it's a little over whelming for some kids, I know it was for my son!

I gotta go, I haven't been feeling really good! I've just felt so exhausted, nauseated and weak! I'm having troubles keeping my eyes open right now and it's 12:40 in the afternoon!
Have a great day everyone! and HAPPY SCRAPPIN'
