"Monday Madness.....Imagine That Challenge" ~ Episode 367

HAPPY MONDAY & welcome to another "Monday Madness....Imagine That!"  Well, I hope you ALL enjoyed your weekend! I had the BEST weekend....my brother & sisters w/my nieces & nephew were all here to see my boy's LAST game of the season before they start playoffs! We had SUCH a GREAT time!  My family is simply the BEST & I can't wait to see them ALL again in a few weeks for Father's day weekend!:) Needless to say, it was also nice NOT to turn on my computer the ENTIRE weekend! If you emailed me, I will get back to you this week! 

Okay, now onto the challenge! Here are the details:

~ Theme is: "HAPPINESS".... 

~ Create ANY project of YOUR choice that makes YOU happy! example: coffee, your furbabies, family, holidays, vacations... etc....

~ Please use your Imagine's, if you own one, if you DON'T own an Imagine, please incorporated lotsof pattern paper onto your project!

~Deadline for this challenge is Sunday, June 17th

~ Please link your projects up to Mr. Linky below this post, then leave a comment

Now onto my project for today! I decided to make an 8x8 layout of the 3 most important people in my life who "complete me" & make me "HAPPY"! My beautiful boys & my hubby!;) This is my favorite picture of all three of them! When I was away in Jan to CHA, they went & did a "photoshoot" JUST for ME!  They totally surprised me & gave it to me when they picked me up from the airport! I do have to say that I am ONE LUCKY lady to have been blessed w/such GREAT men in my life & I do thank GOD everyday!;)

For this layout, I used SEVERAL items:

~Build a Banner Kit

~Anyday Bingo & Crossword

~My Journaling

~Inspiring Words

~Inspiring Words {Accents}

~You Had me at Chocolate

~Here's Lookin at You

~My Mind's Eye "Portobello Road/ Union Square" paper pack (I purchased this pack from My Craft Channel a while ago)

~ Burlap "Liz's Paper Loft Boutique"

~AND my New Sewing Machine from Joann's!;)

P.S. I want to thank Miss Deanne w/"The B Crafters" for her AWESOME idea to use the sentiment "Love at first sight" from my "You had me at Chocolate" along w/the glasses from "Here's lookin' at You"!:) These two are just PERFECT together!:) Thank you Miss Deanne!

Here is my video on how I put my FAVORITE 8x8 layout together!

My FAVORITE Christmas Card!

Sorry, but since this was an older picture, I couldn't get it to get any bigger than this:(

GOOD MORNING & welcome to My Creative Time! WOW, I feel like it's been FOREVER since I last blogged!;) Well, being that it is close to Christmas, there is LOTS to be done at home w/my family!;) That's why I haven't been HERE on my blog:) I have been keeping busy while the boys are at school, but LUCKILY, they will FINALLY be off on Friday!;) WHERE HAS THIS YEAR GONE?

I KNOW when the year has gone by EXTRA FAST is when my boys start reminding me that it is time for "Baseball" sign-ups! Then IMMEDIATELY I think of Spring! lol....... I feel like we just had our last baseball game & I can't believe it's time to sign up already! Which is a GOOD thing!;)

I'm not sure about all of you, but I can actually say that I am READY for Christmas EARLY this year! I can't wait to make cookies on Friday! The boys already told me what kind of cookies they wanted to make so I need to do a little grocery shopping to make sure I have EVERYTHING!;)

Okay, onto my card. I wanted to share w/ALL of you my FAVORITE Christmas card I have EVER made! I know I've made SEVERAL, but for some reason, this one just "speaks to me"! hehehhe!!;)

 For my "candy shaped" card  I used the die called "Tear Bear" from Peachy Keen! And, that CUTE sentiment is from "Mixed Holiday Sentiments"!

Speaking of "Mixed Holiday Sentiments".... I've had SEVERAL questions regarding my sale! I have decided to let my sale run through Friday, Dec 30th! My sets that are "Sold OUT", ONLY CERTAIN ONES will be back in stock before then! ***FYI*** keep on the look out because I just may have another MARK DOWN sale at "some point" next week!!! wink wink!;)

I mostly will not be back on here again before Christmas! So, from My Family to ALL of YOURS, we want to wish you ALLLLL a VERY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS! XOXO!
