CWLC - Baby

Hi everyone,

My post is a bit late, but it's not because I wanted to, but it's due to life changes that I am making right now. So many things that I am trying to undergo leave me very little or no time for crafting. I never new that being a woman and a mother is so much work. Yes, I have been trying this role for sometime now, but really being the woman as God wants me to be requires much more work and takes me away from all the things in life. Because, of all of these changes I had to step down as a DT member at Created With Love Challenges. This is my second to last card for this great blog. The owners are really nice and I hate to step down, but I feel that it's the best at this time.

Now, going back to the challenge. This time around we are sponsored by Sticky Bear stamps and the theme is Baby. I used their image - Playtime and created this card.

Hope you are having a great day!

Hugs,

Maria

This week at Created With Love Challenges we have a nice color challenge - Pink or Purple. We are sponsored by My Betsies this time around. It's a new sponsor for our challenges.  I got their image #875 to create a wonderful card.

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy New Year! Creative Knockouts - all that glitter!

Happy New Year!

I can't believe the 2014 is here already. WOW!!! Time flies when you are having fun. 2013 was a lot of fun for me, so I hope that I continue this trend in the upcoming year. I have not made any new year's resolutions, I just could not concentrate on just one. )))) So many things that I want to change in my life, but I know if I choose too many none will get done. I'll have to think and pick wisely. Loosing weight is an ongoing thing since last year, so I'm skipping that one. Perhaps, I'll pick being more organized?

 One of the changed from last year, is that I joined Creative Knockouts and it was a very pleasant and positive change for me. Today, we have a new challenge over at Creative Knockouts - all that glitters and we are sponsored by Lacy Sunshine.

I chose the image called Christmas Boo. I applied some glitter on her hat. My daughter loved this darling image, I think it's a very cute one!

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Hugs,

Maria

Merry Christmas!!!

Hi everyone!

Today, it's going to be a quick post, just to with you all a Very Merry Christmas!

CWLC #70 - Anything goes

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and I'm going to share with you a card I created for Created With Love Challenges. This week our challenge is Anything Goes and we are sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps.

I created this card with my lovely homeland in mind. You may have heard about all of the protests going on in Ukraine right now. I used an angel on my card, because I want it to guard all of the people that are currently protesting in Kiev. I wish they will have a peaceful and Merry Christmas.

Hope you have a wonderful day!

CWLC #69 - Christmas

Hi everyone,

I can't believe the weekend passed by so quickly. I had a very nice and busy Thanksgiving weekend. A lot of things happened over the weekend, but I still did not do everything I planned. Probably planned too much. )))

Today at Created With Love Challenges we have a new challenge - Christmas. WOW! It's December already, so we are getting closer and closer to one of the favorite Holidays for my kids - Christmas. They are especially excited about getting presents from St. Nicolas. He is supposed to visit our house at the end of the week, but I think this time around He will work using Ukrainian calendar, sometime on the 19th.

This time around we are sponsored by Delicious Doodles and I have chosen their Jolly Holly Post Box image. Perfect box for the letters to St. Nicolas that my kids wrote over the weekend.

Hope you are having a great day!

Hugs,

Maria 

CWLC #68 - Sympathy or Miss You!

Happy Monday, everyone!

This week at Creative with Love Challenges we have a very nice challenge - Sympathy or Miss You! There are people in everyone's life that we have not seen for a while or that might need a word of encouragement. This week we are sponsored by Broken Box Designs. I chose their image called Feeding Butterflies. I think that when you are having fun with butterflies there is always someone that comes to your mind that you have not seen for a while. I know, I would think of someone.

Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Hugs,

Maria

CWLC #65 - Christmas Red and Green

Hi everyone!

It got so cold outside. Brrrr... On Saturday, me and my family had a lot of fun at the farm. We went apple picking. It was the last weekend of the year that we could go to our favorite orchard to gather some apples. However, it got cold now. We are getting close to the winter.

With that in mind, I would like to share with you a card I made for the Red and Green Christmas challenge over at Created With Love Challenges. Our sponsor is Digi Darla, and I used the image Christmas Bells.

Hope you are having a nice day, in your corner of the world!

CWLC #61 - Any Holiday

Hi everyone,

I had a very tiring weekend. My grandmother is in the hospital, actually they moved her to the hospice and we are just waiting for that day when she will leave us. She is very strong and clings to life, but it's hard for her now. Me and kids visited her. She was happy, but could not talk or really kiss my little ones. Sad, but such is life.

Now getting back to business. This week at Created With Love Challenges we have a very nice one - Any Holiday. So, if you have created a card for any of the Holidays happening either now or in the future, please link your card and join us for the fun. I have created a card using image from Saturated Canary.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Maria
