I have some exciting news, (for me anyway) remember last week I told you about my DSLR Camera??? The Massive Rain storm, and how it got left out in that rain..........Well, after lots of tears and lots of prayers and lots of time for drying..........IT WORKS! the battery took a charge and the camera powered back up. The only thing that is Not working properly is the Auto Focus on the changeable lens. I can DEAL with that for sure!! Thank God!! So my pic this week is with my "water-proof" DSLR camera..YAAAAA lol

This week at Created With Love Challenges we are having a Birthday Theme....I ended up doing 2 cards because I goofed on the first one and forgot the "Twist" of Red and Yellow colors on the birthday card! So I will share BOTH cards I made.

The image is from Delicious Doodles, they are our sponsor for this

week over at Created With Love Challenges!!

here is my first card with the image Zodiac Leo

And now here is my card for the Challenge over at

By The Way..............just a heads up.....At Created With Love we will be celebrating our 1st Yr Birthday the end of JULY with a 2 week Long Blog HOP!!! Be sure to check it out!!

CWLC 48 All about Girls...

Hello Fellow Crafters!

It has been a busy busy month for me. I took the month of June of for family and other things, including a new craft room!!! Yaaa after 2 1/2 yrs I finally got it.. Pics will come soon. I am still putting things away and organizing. What a Job!!! I should have taken July off too! LOL

Had a MAJOR disaster happen over the weekend...Our grandson was over and I was taking tons of photos with my DSLR camera that I got less than a year ago, well I had set it down out side to take grandson for a ride on golf cart and 4 wheeler and forgot ALL about it. We had a MAJOR thunderstorm that night.....my sister-in-law who is staying with us for a bit, walked the dog tonight and came back and was like Dawn, guess what I found out side, and I could hear in her voice it was Not going to be good news....................yup it was my $800 digital DSLR camera....I cried for about an hour. My hubby bought it for me and it meant the world to me that he wanted me to have a very nice camera instead of a point a shoot. It is toast. the memory card was salvageable, so I did not loose any photos, but I did just waste $800.

Life goes on and maybe someday soon I will be able to have another awesome camera as that one was, I am still kicking my own A$$ for what I did, I can NOT believe I was so absent minded.

So with that said my photos are not going to be the best, I am taking them with my cell phone.

On to this weeks challenge at Created With Love Challenges

We are being sponsored by Bugaboo

And our theme is "For the Girls"

here is what I came up with using Bugaboo Stamps image "Kidz Girl Roses"

Again sorry for the bad photo... I tossed this card together with my new

craft room still in disarray, sorting and organizing everything.

Hope to see what you have to create this week using our Theme!!

Have a great week, I hope mine gets a little better after such a crappy weekend with the camera.
