Happy Easter!!! (& update on 12DoC papers)

Okay, so I'm starting to sound like a broken record. In the aftermath of dealing with some health and personal issues, I just haven't had the time to get the papers sent out to those who joined in for The 12 Days of Christmas. I will go through the rest of the comments and get the list compiled as soon as I am capable of doing so and I appreciate your continued patience.

Now for the other reason for today's post. To those of you who celebrate...
H A P P Y     E A S T E R!

For some of us in this world, we're in the exact same position as last year at this time; unfortunately, in a situation where we are forced to celebrate Easter a little bit differently than most of us normally would. Here in my home town, we've been in lockdown over two weeks again and with the numbers continuing to go up with all these variants, it is hard to say when it will end. If you yourself are in a location where meeting with those outside your home is also prohibited, I can certainly sympathize. Thankfully, with all the technology available these days, reaching out to our loved ones is easier than ever. I hope that you have the opportunity to connect virtually or by phone with those you love during this special long weekend.

Just like last year, since the Easter Bunny is considered an essential service, he will again receive special dispensation allowing him to cross borders and travel into each of the Canadian provinces--as long as he is supplied with the special equipment he needs to do his job safely. I hope that the Easter Bunny has received permission to travel to your part of the world as well.

Hopefully EB will have the opportunity to bring most of you some sweet treats or fragrant ones. My gift to you is this digital paper in honour of today…

Until next time,

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you all! I know that most of us are not having the Christmas that we are normally used to but even in these strange circumstances I truly hope you have (or have had, depending on your location in the world) a wonderful day with the people in your household, and if you're in a location that is doing well, time with close family and/or friends.

It is my firm belief that everyone should get at least one present on this day. So here is my Christmas gift to you...

Happy Independence Day!!!

It is still the Fourth of July for some hours yet and that means that all my wonderful American friends, followers and readers are celebrating Independence Day today. As promised on Wednesday, here is another freebie--this time in honour of the U.S.A. 

I decided to stick with the same type of theme as the Canada Day papers, as today's papers also features cupcakes only this time in red, white and blue. While one of the papers is specific to the States only, I decided to also create a copy without the text so that others could use it as well. Check them out...

To grab them, click the download button to be taken to a download location. In the zip folder you will find a copy of the papers, their preview sheet, the full credit information and my terms of use which are standard to all my folders.

Well folks, that is it for this one. I hope that you all continue to stay safe and healthy where ever you may live.

Until next time,

H A P P Y   C A N A D A   D A Y!

In between catching up on everything I've missed this past week, I took the time to create a freebie in honour of the birthday of this amazing country that I am blessed to call home…

Double Freebie Alert: Happy Birthday to Me & My Hubs!

Hey folks! I'm guessing you didn't think I'd be back with another freebie so quickly, did you?! Not only was it Easter weekend, it was also my birthday on Good Friday AND is my hubby's birthday today, Easter Monday.

As you have learned by now, special occasions for me and my family members, mean presents for YOU too! It was a packed weekend so I wasn't able to get out the first freebie on my own birthday like I normally try and do. Instead, today you'll be getting both freebies--one in honour of my birthday and the other in honour of my hubby's special day. Without this man by my side I'd be lost. He is my entire world and I love him dearly. Thus, I want to take this opportunity to wish my amazing hubby a very happy birthday!!!!

I really liked the foil paper I made for the 12 Days of Christmas and got some good feedback on it. I've seen it printed out on a card and it looks pretty realistic. That is why I decided to make a matching set of foil papers for today's double freebie--one in purple and the other in green.

Check them out...


These digital papers are 3600 x 3600 pixels, in jpg format and published at 300 dpi. To grab them, click the download button to be taken to a download location. In the zip folder you will find a copy of the two papers, their preview sheet, the full credit information and my terms of use which are standard to all my folders.

One or the other of these textured papers will go really well with the following free birthday papers offered up in the past. If you don't have them yet, just click on any of the previews below to be taken to the original page on my blog where each can still be downloaded for free!




Well that is it for today! I hope to see you all again soon.

Until next time,

FINALLY!!! 1st FREEBIE of 2019!

Hmmm...I haven't done a very good job so far of handing out holiday themed freebies yet this year already having missed Valentine's Day and Family Day. I tried sooooooo hard to get this one uploaded last night in honour of St. Patrick's Day before heading off the computer but alas it wasn't meant to be.

However, in my defence, I have been fighting two back to back viruses roughly the last five weeks which of course has put me behind in everything again. Just to let you know, I have actually started a love themed paper which I'll post as soon as it is done. Thankfully, love is in fashion all year around too. However, before I get any further behind it is time for a St. Patrick's Day themed paper…or well a belated St. Patrick's Day one.

Wether you are Irish or simply Irish at heart, here is a new St. Patrick's Day themed freebie for you. Thankfully, it also shares some spring colours so it can be useful for any number of springtime projects.

Hope you like it!

Hope you all have a great week ahead!

Card Design: Pattie's Creations Challenge #154…Snowy Days/Nights

http://pattiescreationschallenge.blogspot.ca

Well hello there to all my friends, followers and readers out there in blogland! After a nine month leave of absence from the team, I'm back here today to announce the next challenge over at Pattie's Creations Design Challenge. This time around for Challenge #154, the theme is Snowy Days/Nights. There is certainly enough snow on the ground where I live to provide me with inspiration!

It has been so long since I've done a post like this, let's hope I haven't forgotten how!

General Info:
  • This card has been created 100% digitally and then layered in a Mock Up (courtesy of Frisk Shop). I will print it out and assemble it a later date. 


FRONT

Digital Images Details:
  • Christmas Mailbox can be found in Pattie's Etsy shop. This image was coloured in digitally using a variety of techniques including layer styles and paper piecing. Credits include:
    • Layer style used on snow: Sheila Reid, Pixel Scrapper.
    • Metal patterns used on Mailbox and pole: Pickled-Jester-Inc (Deviant Art)
    • Paper piecing on envelope: Cruzine's Designs (through Deal Jumbo)
    • Pattern used for clouds/sky background: Lebouef 
  • I also used the snowflakes from another of Pattie's images, Pattieboop Winter Snowflakes. I just digitally cut them out and then duplicated some of them to create the appearance of snow in the background. They were altered using a layer style from Marisa Lerin, Pixel Scrapper.


Digital Sentiment Details: 


Digital Embellishments:
  • The border is made with an edge template created by Marisa Lerin, Pixel Scrapper.
  • The buttons and button threads are assets created by Sheila Reid, Pixel Scrapper.




INSIDE
 

Digital Sentiment Details:  
  • The sentiment used on the inside is a freebie created by Paulette from Create with TLC.  For great freebies and inspiration be sure to click HERE to go to Paulette's blog and for awesome vintage items for purchase, click HERE to go to the home page of the store.



OVERALL

Digital Paper Products:
  • The paper used as my background is from my mini Snowfest kit.


Digital Embellishment Details:
  •  I have used basic shapes in Photoshop Elements to create matting in behind the images and sentiments and I have applied shadow layer styles to give certain elements some depth. These styles were designed by Sheila Reid, Pixel Scrapper.


Challenges I am hoping to enter...

You have until January 31st to enter our challenge which should give you lots of time to get a creation done. Remember the theme is Snowy Days/Nights. I really hope that you will be able to join us. You can enter twice per challenge and of course MUST follow all the challenge requirements that are posted for each challenge (please click HERE to become familiar with all the rules).

Pop over to the challenge blog and check out what my fabulous teammates have offered up for inspiration. Oh and don't forget…Pattie offers up a new freebie the first Friday of the month and it will remain up for approximately two weeks; so, be sure to pop over and check it out as well!

Well guys, that is it for this one. Hopefully it won't be too long before I see you all again.

Until next time,

Merry Christmas!

Hell folks! I'm so sorry for the extended absence here on my personal blog these past [close to] eight months. I've dearly missed all of my regular readers. Unfortunately, it has been a difficult year. My husband had some health issues from March until July. Though they weren't life threatening in any way, they did take up significant time to deal with. Thankfully, he is back to his healthy self.

My mother also dealt with a number of health issues and in her case, we could have lost her on a few different occasions. From the discovery of blood clots in each of her legs, to gall-bladder removal surgery and a whole host of problems related to the two conditions, my mom was in and out of the hospital so many times since the end of August, that I lost count. I am very happy to say that she is finally doing better and is on the mend.

I too faced some challenges. I dealt with a bad knee starting in February that became acute around the middle of August, to the point where I couldn't even flex or extend it. It is still giving me some issues but thankfully it has started to heal.

Due to all of these different health issues, I had to let go of certain things and unfortunately my personal blog was a casualty. I just didn't have the time to keep up with it all. As things finally start to settle down I am hoping to get back to at least some work here on my blog.

I know that I've missed handing out a lot of freebies this year but I can't let Christmas go by without offering up a treat. Everyone should get at least one present on this day. So here is my Christmas gift to you...
