The Corrosive Challenge Blog - HOME SWEET HOME

Hello everyone!! Happy Sunday!!!! Sorry I am so late for today's post....it has been a crazy week, moving my parents into their new Seniors home, decluttering, packing and cleaning their house of 37 years and getting it ready to sell. It was a lot of work, physically and mentally for all of us! Thank God there are 6 kids to help!!!!

It is VERY ironic that this weeks challenge at The Corrosive Challenge blog is

HOME SWEET HOME

because of my parents move. It was my childhood home and I have a lot of happy memories there. I lived there for about 12 years, so it is sad that it is going up for sale but at the same time I KNOW this is BEST for my parents, especially my Mom!!!! So, I have to suck up the emotions and be strong for them - it is harder for them I think!

Anyway, the challenge is a fun one with lots of room for interpretation and creativeness!! Can't wait to see what you come up with!!

Head to the challenge blog to check out the DT samples!!! We have a new sponsor this month, BUGABOO STAMPS, and new prizes, so head over there to check it out!!!!

I have used a stamp from Magnolia - but I cut the 3 houses out individually & overlapped them. I coloured it with Copics and added crystal lacquer to the windows. The CS is Sage Shadow and the DP is Nook & Pantry from Basic Grey. I added some flowers and a button from my stash. The sentiment was made on my computer!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will join us this week at The Corrosive Challenge blog!!!

Thank you cards for Baby

My friend has asked me to make her Thank you cards for baby gifts - she needs 75 of them! EEK!!! She is decorating her baby's room with elephants, penguins and ladybugs......some of my FAVOURITE critters.....so I KNOW I have TONS of images to use!!!! I printed off a whole bunch of images and sat in front of the TV and coloured for 3 evenings! I know I should have done the same layout and mass produced them, but I wanted them each to be special...yup, I know...a LOT more work, but will be worth it in the end. I DID do several with the same layout and same papers, but most are different!! I am only half way finished, but here are a few of them that are photographed and edited: The Stamp Fairy (Lenny Ladybug)

Karen's Doodles (Elephant Valentine)

penguin (Angel's Landing)

I will post more once I get them finished and uploaded....might not get to see ALL of them but maybe some of my favourites!! Thanks for stopping by!

Have a GREAT weekend!!!
