Fairytale Fairy Challenge...

Michelle of Michelle Perkett Studio is having a Fairytale Fairy Challenge.  Her fairy images are all gorgeous.  Stop in and check out the requirements and get your entry in.  This is my entry for the challenge.

Stop by The Art of Michelle, which is her store and just get lost in her fabulous art.  Her fairies are some of my favorites, but all of her images are fantastic.

First, the winner of our first blog hop was Sara I. from Sara's Sugar and Spice.  She's taking home five images from the Happileigh Scrappin' Store.  Congratulations, Sara.  Stop back by and show us some of what you create!

Second, the challenge each week at  Happileigh Scrappin' Challenge has changed.  Each week Leigh will post a picture for you to use as inspiration for your creations.  Also, please forgive me.  I had stated that last week's challenge had been extended.  It has not.  This week's challenge is to use the picture shown for your inspiration.

Third, and last, the rules have changed as well!  You can now use any artist's image to enter the challenge and receive one entry.  But, if you use an image from Happileigh Scrappin' you will receive two entries into the challenge for that week.  Isn't this just fantastic!  Winners will now be chosen randomly and there will still be a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd place winner.  It goes without saying that any inappropriate images will be removed.  So, put your inspiration hats on and gaze at this picture.  What does it say to you?  I can't wait to see what all of you come up with for this one!!

Hope each and every one of you has a blessed day and a wonderful week!  Get those challenge cards flying in!

My Granny's Flowers....

Happy Monday to everyone!  The digital image I made this card from is called Flower Bouquet; the image was created by Leigh Grady and you can find it at Happileigh Scrappin' Store.  I love flowers of all sorts.  However, this is not the type of floral image I would normally use.  I couldn't figure out why it kept calling to me.

I finally got my answer when I started coloring the image.  The colors just jumped into my hands and it was my Granny doing it.  When I was quite young, I spent a lot of time living with my grandparents.  My grandmother, who is long passed now, loved making floral arrangements.  Remember now, back then there weren't all the realistic silk flowers we now have.  They were plastic.  They were bright red, bright blue, bright orange...whatever the color was, it was bright!  Granny's house was full of her arrangements and I never could understand it.  That was her enjoyment and pleasure.  Maybe, just maybe, there's a little of my Granny in me after all. So, Granny, this is for you!

Please stop in the store and look around.  You just might find something that will call to you.  All of Leigh's images are beautiful and from the heart.  Also, don't forget to check all my Design Team sisters and friends.  You will find the links to their blogs in my left sidebar.

New page design...

Well, everyone, here is my newly designed blog.  All credit goes to Laurie Wilson at Clearly Delightful. She has worked very closely with me every step of the way.  Laurie went above and beyond designing my new blog by giving me personal tips on how to make changes in the future (changes I didn't even know I could make).  She is absolutely lovely to work with, provides you with several choices and stays in constant and close contact.  Laurie also has the site Doodle Pantry digital doodles.  If you are looking for a fresh look for your blog, or a custom watermark, please stop in and see Laurie; you won't be disappointed!  And I sure wouldn't mind if you let her know that I sent you!

Laurie....thank you, again!

A Surprise Birthday Blog Hop....

Well, imagine my surprise to wake up this morning and find an e-mail in my inbox from Kristine.  She told me the Design Team for McMahon Five Designs had put together a hop on the M5D blog to celebrate my birthday.  I am extremely honored that Sue pulled all my DT sisters together to do this for me.  I am so blessed to have met this fantastic group of women!  Each and every one of you has made my day very special for me...and for a guest designer, at that!  My prayers, my heart, my love and my thanks go out to all of you for making me feel so special!  Thank you!!!!

A Surprise Birthday Blog Hop....

Apologies to everyone...

I just wanted to share that I had not intended for my McMahon Five Designs post to be so brief.  That was the start of it, but the intention was to add more.  Blogger, on the other hand, had other ideas.  I tried for hours to get in and edit that post and was not able to.  I was told others were having the same problem.  Anyway, it's up, for what it is, and look for bigger and better next week!  Everybody have a great week until then!!

Apologies to everyone...
