Last Dance, Last Chance…

…for love!  I’m dating myself quoting a Donna Summer disco song but yes, I danced to that back in the day!!!  I was definitely a disco diva!!!

 

But when I saw this beautiful couple dancing that’s the song that came to mind.  It was rolling around in my head the whole time I was making this card!

 

Now for the rest of the McMahon Five Designs digi images being released this week!

Bright Blue Eyes

Hi! I’m finally back to my DT work after a long break for my trip to Utah; plus, I had to take an extra week off because I had a horrible migraine with lots of nausea last week. I think I willed it away all while I was in Utah and the day after I got home—bammo!!! Worst I’ve had but I’m all better now and ready to get back in the swing of things.

It’s a very small release this week.  Just two images but they are beautiful!

Don’t you just love this beautiful girl!  She was so easy to color but just beautiful.  I colored her face and eyes withy my Copics.  The black hair is part of the image.  I tied a bow with some ribbon from my stash and attached a beautiful cameo button from the Girls Paperie.  I got a really good deal on some Girls Paperie goodies when I went to Spark last fall.

 

Now, we have one more image released this week as well.  I really wanted to make a card with this one too.  It’s such a beautiful I butterfly!  Love the combo of  butterflies and music.  It makes my heart sings!!!

A Rose Song

It’s another release day at McMahon Five Designs!

I’m back to the McMahon Five Vintage images this week.  I used some beautiful flowers, lace and DP by Prima from the M5D store.  I really love the DP that Prima has come out with lately.  Have you seen what they have for this CHA?  I’m in love with just about every piece!!!  I think Sue will be carrying some of those new releases.

Puppy Gifts

I totally forgot to do my post last night. Have any of you been watching My Craft Channel? They add a couple of new videos each day and I’m loving them. I hadn’t made the time to which them before last night but I decided last night that I didn’t want any mindless TV and so I watched some of their videos.

Well, I’m sold!!! I watched all of Christy Tomlinson’s videos, all of Ella Publishing videos and then moved on to the videos that are done by the people behind the Dollar Store Crafts blog.

Of course, I loved Christy’s projects and learned a lot about collage techniques.  Collage is my new favorite thing to do.  The Ella Publishing videos had so many great ideas to alter books.  That’s another one of my fave projects.  I got so inspired I sat down at my desk to work on a couple of swaps that I’m behind on.

Now on to this weeks release from McMahon Five Designs. M5D is in the full swing for the holidays!!!

My card uses the adorable My Letter for Me image. Isn’t he cute? I think my pup would do that is she could reach the mail box. Especially if that gift contained doggy treats!!!

Now here are the rest of the digis in the release.

Carving Pumpkins

I’ve been gone for awhile. I went to Utah for my annual transplant tests and doctor appointments. Everything went great. The tests all came back good and my heart caths (I had two) went off without a hitch. I didn’t even hurt the day after. I’m not sure why but sometimes I hurt for a few days after and sometimes it’s like nothing.

Thankfully, I had a quick recovery because two days later I was headed to Lindon, Utah, a couple of hours drive from my sis’ house for Spark The Event. Oh my gosh, it was such a wonderful experience and I learned so many new things. It definitely “sparked” my creativity!!! I’ll be posting about that later.

Now onto this weeks release.

Isn’t this little guy adorable. It’s one of the latest releases from McMahon Vintage. Here is the rest of this week’s release.

Give Thanks

I’m about to scream!  I’m having so many Internet issues tonight that I’m not sure this will even post and I can’t give you links but here goes!

I’ve used to new images from McMahon Vintage releasing today!  The frame with the oak leaves acorns is one image and the scripture is another.  I thought that they worked so well together that I combined them.

I also have a photo of the cutie-patootie Landon to share with you. 

My niece (Landon’s mom) was teaching my gr-niece to play the fiddle the other day and Landon was enjoying listening to his mother play.  It was so precious!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

Christine

Oops, I’m Late

 

So sorry I’m late. I woke up with a migraine again this morning so took some drugs and went back to sleep. Now my mind is kind of off in all directions and I’m having trouble staying on task! *giggle*

I fell in love with todays image the minute I saw it.  It reminds me of the MANY summers spent at my grandpa’s farm.  Unfortunately, I never carved pumpkins with him.  He lived in another town and I was never there at Halloween but I remember so many times like this in the summer.  It was always fun to spend time with my grandpa.  I love him so much and still, after all these years, miss him so much!

Now, on to the new images for this week!

Fanny Flapper

It’s another release Thursday at McMahon Five Designs.  It’s a light week but with some gorgeous images.

I chose Fanny Flapper to work with this week.  I love images from the Roaring 20s!

I’m also loving the Studio 313 release this week.  You could use the images and sentiments to make some quick and easy cards!
