Winter Wishes Digital Layout Card

Happy Sunday Everyone,

I hope everyone has enjoyed their black friday sales, my zibbet shop is having a sale today for continuation of black friday and tomorrow special sale prices as well. Be sure to check them out!!!

I have been using my memories suite v3 lately a lot being in the hospital, as I do not have access to printers and that side of paper technology and I have come up with a few things for hops to come and challenges for CCL (creatingacraftylife.ning.com). I recently did this unconventional Christmas Card which I am completely in love with, I must try to mimic this in paper once I have the appropriate hardware and i am able.

Anyhow, enjoy your Sunday!!!

Here is my card layout:

Recipe: MyMemories Suite V3

Kits: Snowkissed

Thank you and Enjoy!!!

Happy Crafting!!!!

And now to my project! This year has been quite a roller coaster ride for me. December of last year, I was diagnosed with Leukemia and this year has been an ongoing battle for me. I have been through chemotherapy treatments and many ups and downs that this disease causes but if there is one Thing I'm Thankful For is that I am ALIVE!!! I am very lucky to be alive and I am thankful every day of my life. I am also thankful to have had my family by my side through this difficult time and for that I am eternally thankful. for my project, I decided to make a 12x12 Digital Layout using the MyMemories software and created a fall background giving thanks with a picture of myself with my mom right after my very first chemotherapy treatment. I love my mom for being by my side every step of the way. Hope you all enjoy and be thankful for being ALIVE everyday!!!

Grattitude is my Attitude Challenge DT Project for Nettie G

Hey there my fellow crafty friends,

It is that time again, and I am pleased to invite you all to participate in yet another one of Nettie G's Challenges. The challenge here is to make a project depicting Gratitude. At this time of the year with Thanksgiving right around the corner, what a great way to show how grateful you are for all of the beautiful things in life, if anything you must be grateful for life itself. I am extremely grateful this year for having the opportunity to LIVE another year and hopefully many more until I am really old and crinkly ;) Anywho, I am also very thankful for my family and my sister. This has been a rocky year for me and I am thankful to have had my family by my side, they were my ROCK!!! Within my family, there is my dear sister who I hold a very special place in my heart, not only for being in my bloodline but for being my best friend. She has been there for me in every step of the way and has always kept her faith. For that alone, I am thankful.

Anyhow, enough with the sappy stories..lol, here is my Design Team project for the Challenge:
