The Devils Handy Work

So the pics below is the Devils handy work. Life is going good and the devil sent in his wicked soliders to wreak havoc in my life, but he forgot that I'm a child of God and he will see me through anything! Ahem, devil, my heart belongs to God and nothing, and I mean nothing can change that! I will always WIN with God on my side ... GAME OVER!

On Monday night July 18th, I was stopped and getting ready to turn into the parking lot of my job and WHAM, some jackel hit me from the behind. He didn't even hit his breaks.

I have to say that Ford built a excellent car, his car is all bashed in ... What a mess .... Thank goodness I'm ok, have a samll concussion, along with neck and back pain ... but I believe that God and all of heaven was watching over me. the ambulance took me to the hospital and was there for a few hours while they did tests... so now i'm at home resting and taking it easy ... Head still hurts and i get a little dizzy still and my back is killing me, but i'm getting better every day. I continue to pray that the guy who hit me is ok, he was hurt as well.

Ok, so other than that, i'll get back to craftying soon .... thanks for stopping by and take care!

It's Friday and Challenge time

Hello friends and happy Friday! So much has been going on ... I finally graduated with my Certificate in Human Services, I'll post pics soon. I signed up for summer school (summer school is going to be a bear) classes are 6 weeks, but they cram 18 weeks into the six weeks .... i can do it though.

well enough about me, lets get to the challenge. This weeks challenge was hearts. Now i know i didn't use a lot of hearts, but I love the way the card turned out. I made a card like this once before, but changed a few things.... I liked the way the card looked with only one heart .... So be sure to check out Jen's blog Pieces of Ali N' Me for all the challenge details!

Hello all, well it's Friday and you know what that means, it's DCC:7 Bags. Be sure to go and check out Jen's blog to see all the wonderful creations and for the rules for the challenge! This week the Die Cut Challenge was Bags ... so this is what I came up with, hope you enjoy!

I used my Bags and Tags Cricut die cuts, I used this lovely cotton candy pink bazzill paper and then I ran it through my cuddle bug. I used the Pumpkin folder. I love this little stamp, It's Marci from La La Land crafts.

it's hard to see but I rubbed some pretty pink ink on the pumpkins and some grassy green on the leaves and vines. I used some pink puff for the dots on the handle. 

Here's a picture of the back, it's a little better and you can see the pink on the pumpkin and the green on the leaves and vines. I think it came out pretty good of I do say so myself! Well that's all for now, it's finals week so I'm cramming for two classes right now, I hope I continue to do well!

Friday Die Cut Challenge - DCC6: Sentiments

Happy Friday .... sorry this post is late, but I was having issues with blogger, it was down for a while. So seeing it's Friday, you know what that means, it's Die Cut Challange Friday! Be sure to see Jen's blog Pieces of Ali N'Me.

This weeks challenge was using a Sentiment. I was inspired to create this little card from my Music class. Most of you know that I'm currently in College and one of the classes i'm taking this semester is Multicultural Music ... Thus the card below ...............

I used my nestie die cuts and some designer musical notes paper, I also used some basic black bazzill cardstock, and some creamy cotton paper. I used a circle punch on the corners and added some pearls. Thanks for stopping by ... enjoy and be sure to check out Jen's blog to all the details on the challenge!

Friday Die Cut Challenge - DCC5: People

What time is it? time for Pieces of Me,

 Friday Die Cut Challenge!!

Hello and Happy Friday! it's time for Pieces of Ali n' Me, Friday Die Cut Challenge, this week it's "PEOPLE". I figured that I would break out my cricut and make a graduation card seeing it's that time of the year. I was so excited when I found out that the theme was "PEOPLE", I'm graduating this May with my Certificate in Human Services, still working towards my degree, but this means I'm half way done! So what better than to create a Graduation card! this theme is perfect for me.

So here's my take on the "People" theme:

Be sure to check out Jen's blog "Pieces of Ali n' Me" for the rules...

For this card, here are the details: Black, Cotton Candy, Diamons White and Coco Bazzill cardstock. Everyday Paper Dolls Cricut Die cuts and Martha Stewart Pearls and Sandylion Essentials stickers.

TGIF- Thank Goodness it's Friday

Hello Blogger Friends
Just thought I'd pop in and say hello. I can't believe that we are almost in May, where has the time gone?? I have been so busy with school and trying to keep up, and looking for another part time job, it's been rough. Jobs are so hard to come by and it seem now a days employers have the upper hand. The other day I was reading a job description and they wanted someone with a BA degree but only wanted to pay $10.50 an hour. REALLY? &10.50 an hour?? with a BA degree? Any who, I'm keeping the faith and know that God will lead me in the right direction.

Well next Friday May 6th, I'll be inducted into Phi Theta Kappa and then on May 25th, I'll graduate with my certificate in Human Services. Yippie! I'm so excited!

Other Big News, I was selected to be a part of the Pieces of Me design team .... yay me! I'm so excited, Big things are happening right before my eyes!

The card below is one that I made a while ago and posted to my blog, this card reminds me of my sweet friend Anna Maria Bell, she's been my good friend for years, like 20 years! Just thought I'd re-post seeing how much I love it.

Friday April 15 = My Birthday

Hi all, it's been a minute since i posted to my blog, but I'm back! yay, so the card below is for my Aunt Ellie, I made it for my dad to give to her. He found this sold picture of her and wanted me to use it. So this is what I came up with. I saw this format one someones blog, but can't remember who's blog it was (Sorry). I'd love to give credit where credit is due!

Anyways, her birthday is Sunday, my parents and Stefani are going to have breakfast with her on Saturday, I can't go because I have to work. She is one of my Favorite Aunts ... (My Aunt Lupe is my other fav). They are my Dad's sisters ... when I was younger, I use to spend all my summers with them, I loved it! it was the best time of my life...I didn't have a care in the world, my only job was to good, have fun and play, play and play.. My dad's mom use to take us to the beach on the weekends, so much fun :)

Nothing like spending time with my family, Aunts, Uncles and my cousins ...Ahhh those were the days :)

So on this card, I used my Happy Birthday cuddle bug embossing folders and then for the picture, I used my NEW nesties .... well, I better go, heading out to celebrate my day! Thanks for stopping by - Until I post again, have a blessed day!

April 1st Already?
