Hello :) Wendi FINALLY checking in...

Hello from the silent one of this wonderful blog... Im Wendi *pageant waves*

Let me start by saying... I couldnt have a more wonderful friend than Meriah. Not only is she a TALENTED beyond measure card maker/ cricut diva / blogger ... but she has the biggest heart for those she loves.
Thank you Meriah for being my leaning post, voice, friend. You inspire me... not to mention... I have created a scrappin MONSTER with her! LOL!!! (yay!)

I apologize for my lack of participation in posting. I am a real person... I promise lol.
Life sometimes takes turns we are never expecting and it takes a while to get our feet firmly under us again. Its during these times that we learn the most about ourselves by how we work through these turns. Scrapbooking and the whole memory capturing process has always been my saving grace... such healing and therapeutic things come from it. Im slowly but surely getting back where its a comfort for me. (I know Meriah... its about timeuh! LOL) I have also learned that not all of our stories are going to be happy rainbows and butterflies but are the same part of our legacy as any. That is what this hobby is all about... and I miss that.
That said, I hope to start helping my BFF around here more... being more of a voice with her and not just a ghostly figure behind the scenes .*enter twilight zone music*..
Thank you to all of you who follow this blog and congratulations to those have come to learn what a wonderful person Meriah is.
Now.. lets have some fun :) ....

Made By Momo Challenge #15

 This weeks theme at Made by Momo  is to make a card with some kind of embossing!!! It can be heat embossing or you can use your cuttlebug and do some dry embossing.

 For my Snowflake card, I used some DCWV Winter Wonder cardstock, and cut out a darling snowflake from Christmas cartridge. I inked it up using my fab Tim Holtz Blender. I embossed the blue cardstock with the cuttlebug snowflakes folder. I inked them up with white studio g chalk ink. The beautiful sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Winter Wishes" set.  I added some pearls and bling just for an added touch. Im really loving the blended look using the TH blender. Have a great day!

More Than Favors Challenge #14

This week at More than Favors with Paula, Her challenge is "Anything Goes". Hey I can do anything lol!!!
Considering Paula and I skype almost everynight, and I have yet to enter one of her challenges, I thought too myself, this week is as good as any to start showing my friend some support. So here is my cute little card using Cricut cartridge "Nifty Fifties" and a cute little sentiment from Pink By Design "Jump n Jive" stamp set. Cosmo Cricut "Boyfriend" background paper. And the rest of the cuts were printed and cut on my imagine. Ribbon is American Crafts. I remember drinking out of glass bottles growing up. Someone would bump into you while you were taking a drink and the glass bottle would nearly knock out a tooth. My favorite soda growing up was Orange Sunkist Soda...num num. I think they still make it today, but it sure did taste better back then. Maybe it was the glass bottle?
