I'm Still Around

Just to let anyone know who might be looking for me, I'm doing well. I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's over three years ago and it put me into quite a spin. I needed a drastic change in my life, so hubby and I picked up what we could from the overcrowded Phoenix area and now live on a small ranch in rural Texas with our three dogs, three birds, one indoor cat, 5 barn cats, 4 sheep+babies, and chickens. I only make cards now for family so I do not post here. I still color but the card making part isn't enjoyable for me any longer. We didn't have reliable Internet for over 2 years so I couldn't keep up with any of my groups. We do have Starlink now, but I've gotten into different, more solitary kinds of things.

I do have a new blog (that, for some reason Google can't seem to recognize) that I was hoping would be helpful to anyone who is dealing with Alzheimer's, dementia, or any other life changing event. I'm a fighter and I truly believe that is why I'm still kicking.

Let it Snow

Time for another Double Trouble:  Double Trouble Challenge Blog #72. Something, everything, anything, and optional snow are the challenge requests.  

Pulling out the Alex Syberia Designs Gnomes again as I think they are so cute!. Colored with Copics and played with a background using The Stamps of Life dies for Slimline cards! Color by Copic.

Thankful

Time for some Double Trouble Challenge Blog #71 "All the Trimmings". A tic tac toe board was provided and I used the center down and the bottom across. 

I used the Gina K Wreath Builder, Simon Says/Gina K Amazing Flowers, Karin Briushmarker Pro and Prismacolor Pencils, and a Darice embossing folder with Distress Inks. A few Nuvo Drops and gold thread finished up the card.

Thanks for stopping by. I'm also sharing this with:

Coffee Lover's Bloghop Fall/Winter 2020 Day Eight and The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge

Oops, I thought yesterday was the last day of the Coffee Lovers Bloghop. But one more it is and this is for The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge as well.

 

I used many different dies so I will only mention the snowflake from The Stamps of Life. The stamps are Santa's Coming from Little Acres Creations, and the coloring is courtesy of Copics. 

Said all my thanks for the coffee bloghop yesterday due to my mix up on which was the last day. Hope you'll continue to view my coloring on Instagram.

I have so enjoyed the coffee bloghop and will continue for the next several days of the Color Challenge from Kathy at The Daily Marker. I may only post on Instagram, however, as few people actually stop by my blog :) Hope you'll stop by again!

The Coffee Lover's Bloghop Fall/Winter 2020 Day Five

For Day Five of the Coffee Lovers Bloghop, I used a set of infinity dies from Hero Arts to make a stencil. I used Starry Flowers from Altenew for the design. With extra pieces, I decided to create two cards at once. I used Distress Inks for the color.
