Mourning Glory Challenge

New challenge at the Smudgy Antics blog
the theme this week is "Mourning Glory" (make a project using graves, churchyards, etc)
here is my creation


I used my Death Cab image and senti from the same set as my main images, then used my Holy City stamp and stamped some shrinky dink paper then cut it into a heart and used it for my flower center. I love the simplicity of the card I really wanted the images to stick out!

hope you'll join us this week, and remember use a Smeared Ink stamp to be entered for the prize.

Red Death

next challenge is the Oh The Horror challenge on Smeared and Smudged...the movie this month is "Masque of the Red death" (based on the story by Poe) my quote came from the movie too...it says "There is no face of death...until the moment of your own death"

Dear Heart / GIVEAWAY

Today is the beginning of another challenge week at the Smudgy Antics blog
and you'll defiantly want to check it out, there have been some updates...

the challenge this week is called "Dear Heart"
and here is my creationI used the "just-one" grumpie and made him all digital and awesome! I used the sketch from My time made easy
be sure to enter this challenge for yourself and invite your friends to do the same!

now onto my news...as you may have noticed I have been doing allot of digital projects lately...the reason for this is because I won a giveaway and my prize was MyMemories Suite Software!!!! I saw that Terra and Sugar also had this software and I hope they are loving it like me...this is how I have been making my digital cards lately, there are so many tutorials it made it super easy to get started...and the fact that I can export them to jpeg files and share them with my family...and you guys...its just awesome! I already have some baby announcements made, and I'm planning on making my Christmas cards this way too, before I received this software I was just going to take my baby pics to Walmart and have them do it...but I like this so much better! its so much more personal, and with all the free digital papers and kits that are out there it makes it that much easier (yes the majority of my digital papers were free, I think the only ones I bought are from Susan's Crafty Chaos) I also just found out that you can add video and sound to your projects...this will be great when making those baby scrapbook pages to send to grandma, and have a lil video of her cooing or her first steps...oh I'm so excited!

I was given two of these softwares, one for me and one to give away. All you have to do is -become a follower of one of these three sites:

Millicent Michele

She’s here! I had my beautiful baby girl a week ago today…almost to the hour :)

She was 7 lb 5 oz 21 inches long…she was born at 7:43 PM

I had to have a c-section…they thought she was going to be bigger…and I had allot of amniotic fluid so they tried to start me and after 24 hrs they asked if I wanted to start over and do another 24 hrs or just do a c-section…I chose not to wait! So she wasn’t as big as they thought…but I’m still glad she is here! She is so sweet! So much dark hair…just like her mommy and daddy :)

I am so happy right now she is so perfect…well except at 3 in the morning…but I’ll get by :S she is sleeping right now and I think I’m going to go do the same thing….so dead tired! Thanks for all the well wishes I’ll try to post again soon…but ya never know!

Much love! MWAH
