It's Sunday morning and that means its time for another challenge to start at <a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">One Stitch At A Time</a>. This week we have <a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">#198 - Anything Goes</a>. One lucky entrant using one of our images, will win all the images the DT used in Challenge #196. And, one entrant with a non Stitchy Bear Digital Outlet image will win a $3.00 gift certificate to our store.<br />
<br />
My team mate picked this fabulous set of images for us to use. Isn't she a cutie!<br />

It has been a long day and I've been fighting a migraine for a few days now. I'm going to have to come back to finish my post.

<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple;">That means you have to use white plus ONE other colour. Body colour doesn't count but <span style="color: black;"><strong>BLACK</strong></span> DOES!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple;">This week's challenge is sponsored by Creative Craft World. They are giving 3 Promarkers to one lucky participant that enters using one of our images. Those with non-Stichy Bear digis will be entered in to a draw for $3.00 in our store.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple;">I chose to use <span style="color: red;">RED</span> as my colour this week. I had to take a picture as well as scan my card with my scanner because I just couldn't get all the red to show up, and some actually came out looking black. I have uploaded both images so you can see it is all White & Red.</span></span></div>

<br />
The Design Team at <a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">OSAAT</a> is back as of today, with our weekly challenges, after a much needed break and some family time. What better theme than <a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">#195 - "Starting New"</a>, to kick off a brand new year? This could be trying a new technique, using something you had new for Christmas, or maybe a wedding card or new baby, even a birthday card is the start of something new<br />
<br />
Our sponsor this week is <a href="http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/" target="_blank">StitchyBear Digital Outlet</a> with $9 to spend in the store. To win this prize you MUST use a digi from the <a href="http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/" target="_blank">StitchyBear Digital Outlet</a>. You can still enter with a none <a href="http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/" target="_blank">StitchyBear Digi Outlet</a> image but will be entered into a separate draw to win $3 to spend in our store.<br />
<br />
When thinking of 'new things' my mind automatically goes to the 2 new grand-children my hubby and I will be getting this year. We even found out the gender of each little bundle over the holidays! Our daughter and her hubby are having a boy due on May 8th! Our son and his wife are expecting their first child on June 5th, and its a girl! With these additions, we will have 4 precious grand-children, 2 girls and 2 boys!! 'New things' are pretty good I think :)<br />
<br />
Keeping all this in mind, I'm sure my card will come as no big surprise to any of you, lol.<br />

How was your Christmas? Did Santa Claus bring you everything you wished for this year? Or, did you have to settle for a lump of coal in your stocking? Santa and my hubby joined forces this year to bring me a few of the items on my Christmas list, so I must have been a good girl this year, lol. Then, my wonderful husband was awake at 6:00am on Boxing Day so he could line up outside our local Walmart at 6:30am to buy me this awesome iPad that I am typing this post on!!!! I am the luckiest woman on earth!<br />
<br />
Anyway, the reason I am posting today is to ask if you have joined our current challenge at <a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">OSAAT</a> yet?

<br />
Have you ever had this nagging feeling that you have forgotten something really important? And, no matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to think of what that could possibly be? That was me all evening yesterday! I was haunted by this feeling until 2:00 AM, when I finally thought I mut be imaging this! I finally laid down and fell asleep. As soon as my eyes popped open this morning, it hit me like a punch in the stomach.....OMG, I FORGOT TO SCHEDULE MY POST!!!! I absolutely had to have a coffee first tho, sorry guys. So, as I sit here eating my breakfast, my fingers are madly typing this post to you. Oh, spoon of cereal break.<br />
<br />
Anyway, thank you to everyone who took part in our Bingo challenge at <a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">OSAAT</a> last week. There were some fabulous entries!

How is your weekend going? Its time for a brand new challenge at <a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">One Stitch At A Time</a>. This week is<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"> #191 - BINGO</a></span></div>
Just like regular bingo, you want to get a line that goes up & down or across or diagonally. If you really want to challenge yourself, go for a full card! The last time I took part in a bingo challenge, I did use the whole card but not this time.<br />
<br />
Here is my card:<br />

Now, I know you may be looking at this image and wondering what on earth I was thinking making this into a Christmas card?? Well, Christmas is a holiday that is celebrated on the same day in every country in the world, regardless of what season it is wherever you live. For instance, I happen to know that it is almost summer time in Australia now. Not every country is lucky enough to have beautiful snowy landscapes at Christmas, so this card is in honor of those countries. That is why I tried to colour the birds as chickadees and the flowers are suppose to be magnolias.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I chose to use the bottom row of our bingo card - CAS, Ribbon/Twine and Green.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is the bingo card with all of your options on it, and don't forget you must use a digi too.</div>

How is everyone this morning? How many of you are ready for Christmas?? Is that a bad word right now? I have not even started really; at least as far as the gift buying goes. Once we have snow on the ground, I will be itching to get things done up and ready.<br />
This week, at <a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">One Stitch At A Time</a>, we have a super easy challenge for you. It is time for <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">#190 - Anything Goes</a>!!</span> <br />
</div>
If you use one of the products from <a href="http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/" target="_blank">Stitchy Bear's Digital Outlet</a>, you will be entered into a draw for our grand prize which is all of the images the design team used in Challenge #188. That is worth about $20.00! If you don't use one of our products, you will be entered into a separate draw for a $3.00 gift certificate to our store.<br />
<br />
Before I show you my card for this week, I want to let you know that this is my very first attempt EVER at a "steampunk" themed anything. That's correct, I have never tried this style, ever. (I have never made a "Shabby Chic" creation either).<br />
Well, here goes:<br />

<br />
Do you have snow yet? We have had a flurry or two but nothing has stuck around, yet anyway. We have a new challenge starting today at <a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">One Stitch At A Time - #189 "Holidays/Occasions".</a> That is why this post is called 'Blue Santa' as I have made a Christmas card. And, I was able to play with a brand new Santa digi from <a href="http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/" target="_blank">Stitchy Bear's Digital Outlet</a>. It was designed by Hope Jacare. The grand prize winner of our challenge this week will win all of the<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong> BRAND NEW</strong></span> digis that our design team is using for this challenge. <br />
To win the grand prize, you <span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>MUST</strong></span> have used a digi from <a href="http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/" target="_blank">Stitchy Bear's Digital Outlet</a>. Those who enter without using one of our digis will be entered into a separate draw for a $3.00 gift certificate to our store.<br />
<br />
Ready to see my card for this week?<br />

<br />
Did all of you have a good Halloween? I know my grand-children did, that's for sure. It even turned out to be a fairly nice night, temperature wise, and the rain held off too. I want to thank those of you who gave our last challenge a try. There were some very nice projects submitted for #187 - Boo.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">One Stitch At A Time</a> has a new challenge starting today. This week's theme is <a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">#188 - Use a Digi</a>. This means that you MUST use something digital on your creation. It could be the image, a digital paper, a digital sentiment, etc. The prize this week is sponsored by <a href="http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/" target="_blank">Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet</a><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBY-KENQKG4sGZgWYA191FHNoqGeVpQ8Zg4UmeQIG0PH5vZetfWe-Wc4Sm3MWAiCspOwqmEk_PmZkycE2OFPzcQ4qVQDjBQ-fT4sKEkj7i79Xb5ia6ZMzxIK3c_2BUTNQOSxSF5jp8Klo/s1600/sbdo-sticker.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBY-KENQKG4sGZgWYA191FHNoqGeVpQ8Zg4UmeQIG0PH5vZetfWe-Wc4Sm3MWAiCspOwqmEk_PmZkycE2OFPzcQ4qVQDjBQ-fT4sKEkj7i79Xb5ia6ZMzxIK3c_2BUTNQOSxSF5jp8Klo/s200/sbdo-sticker.png" width="200" /></a><br /> The Prize is the full set of digi images that the DT used in <a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/2013/10/challenge-186.html" target="_blank">challenge #186</a> , so that's about $20 worth of digi images. To win our main prize you MUST use an image that's available in <a href="http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/" target="_blank">Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet</a> by any of our creators. Remember to put a # after your name so we can find you easily. You can still enter with a none <a href="http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/" target="_blank">Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet</a> image but will be entered into a separate draw to win $3 to spend in our store. <br />
<br />
It was my turn to pick the image for my little group and here is the card I made:<br />

<br />
First off friends, thanks so much to all of you who were so sympathetic to my plight this past weeks regarding my broken glasses. Guess what??? I got NEW ones!! My prescription had to be changed too so having them break was rather a good thing I guess. Turns out it had been 3 years since my last exam and I really was going a wee bit blind. No excuses there now. The best part?? I no longer have to ask complete strangers what time my watch says anymore, lol. Why didn't I simply ask them what time it was you wonder?? I intentionally set my watch and clocks ahead about 10 minutes so that I'm not late for physical therapy appointments, chiropractor, etc. I have 3 appointments for these each week and have to take city bus to get there. That's why it was always strangers who had to read my watch. This way, I was being told the time I NEEDED to hear in order to make sure I was on time. Until 2 years ago, I was habitually late for everything! With my watch set 10 minutes fast, guess who isn't late anymore??<br />
<br />
This week, at <a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">One Stitch At A Time</a>, we have a challenge that fits in with the current time of year. It is<a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"> #187 - Boo! (Autumn colours if you don't do Halloween).</a> The sponsor of our main prize for this week is <strong><span style="font-size: large;">Creative Craftworld</span></strong>. They are generously giving 3 Promarkers to one winner who has used an image from the <a href="http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/" target="_blank">Stitchy Bear Digital Outlet Store</a>. One entrant using a non-Stitchy Bear image will win a Gift Certificate for $3.00 to the<a href="http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1149a5;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Stitchy Bear Outlet Store</span></span></a>. Please remember that if you are not using images from the Stitchy Bear Store, you can only enter the challenge a maximum of 3 times. When you do use our images, you can enter as many times as you want.<br />
<br />
It was nice that we were given that option by Choccy, as I don't do Halloween cards at all. I have never gotten a Halloween card nor have I ever given one out. The dressing up in costumes and going trick-or-treating was always enough.<br />
Autumn colours are so beautiful and the season is so short that I take advantage of every chance to work with them. This time, I have an autumn themed birthday card to share with you all.<br />

<br />
We have your favourite challenge starting today at <a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">One Stitch At A Time....#186 'Anything Goes'</a>. We are offering the fabulous prize of a FULL Set of the images the DT used in Challenge #184 to one lucky participant using an image from the <a href="http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1149a5;">Stitchy Bear Store</span></a>, in this week's challenge. One entrant using a non-Stitchy Bear image will win a Gift Certificate for $3.00 to the<a href="http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1149a5;"> Stitchy Bear Outlet Store</span></a>. Please remember that if you are not using images from the Stitchy Bear Store, you can only enter the challenge a maximum of 3 times. When you do use our images, you can enter as many times as you want.<br />
<br />
My card this week is very 'Clean & Simple' for 2 reasons. First of all, my patterned papers are digital designs from the same artist as my image and I just couldn't cover them up, they are far too pretty for that. Secondly, my glasses broke 3 times in the last 2 weeks, and I can't see a darn thing without them. Even the cereal in my bowl is blurry to the point of being a solid mass. Without further ado, here is this week's card:<br />

Hello fabulous bloggers! <br />
I'm starting this post with needing to let you all know that I have been a very bad blogger and a horrific DT member lately :( :( I have a few more cards to share with you all today; and these are cards that should have been posted on here a couple of weeks ago :( The first card, I had honestly thought I had posted on here, but was very upset to find out I hadn't done it at all. While there is no worthy excuse for this, the only thing I can think of is the fact that I honestly don't look at my actual blog too often. I typically log on to blogger right on the home page where it shows the list of all the blogs I am part of. If I have zero pending comments, I don't even click on my blog at all. With no pending comments, I assumed my cards just weren't 'up to snuff'.<br />
I am going to have to change the way I am doing things, definitely!<br />
<br />
Well, onto the cards I have to share with you. First one up is:<br />

It is Oct 5th as I am typing this and I am finally starting to feel a bit better, Yahoo! Last weekend, I had my grandchildren come for a sleepover; I don't know if this was coming on anyway, or if the lack of sleep that weekend weakened my immune system just enough for this to take hold but, they went home last Sunday evening, and within hours, I felt like I had been run over by a transport truck. My throat hurt so bad I hated to talk, head was pounding, back and neck were screaming in agony, it was not a good place to be at all. Things got worse as the week went on. My throat was so raw, I actually consumed a minimum of a FULL package of Halls Cough Drops every single day, except for today. Anyone who knows me is fully aware that I go nowhere without a beverage in my hand. A normal day for me sees me drinking a full pot of coffee, 90-100 ounces of plain water and 2-3 cans of Diet, Caffeine Free Pepsi, (I AM NOT EXAGERATING!) This past week, even with drinking my normal amounts of liquid, I could not get enough plain water into me. The Halls alone were not soothing my throat; it was horrible!<br />
<br />
Well, enough about me; onward to what you have come here to read ;) It is new challenge day at <a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">One Stitch At A Time.....#184 - Use a Digi!!</a> This can be a digi image, digi sentiment, digi papers, etc. Any digi item on your card qualifies; just be sure to let us know what your digi item is. I really hope you will come out to play with us this week :) We are offering the fabulous prize of a FULL Set of the images the DT used in Challenge #182 to one lucky participant using a digi from the <a href="http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/" target="_blank">Stitchy Bear Store</a>, in this week's challenge. The full set is valued at about $20.00!! One entrant using a non-Stitchy Bear digi will win a Gift Certificate for $3.00 to the<a href="http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/" target="_blank"> Stitchy Bear Outlet Store</a>. The digital image on my card was chosen by one of my team mates. <br />

How are you enjoying your weekend? Only 1 more left this summer :( I for one don't feel like we have even had a 'summer' this year. I swear we went from Spring straight into Autumn. My poor garden has basically done nothing this year. Too many rainy days and not enough sunshine; not to mention the horribly cold nights. This year has been terrible.<br />
<br />
Are you ready to play again with the DT at <a href="http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">One Stitch At A Time</a>? Challenge #178 is 'Anything Goes', and all my awesome teamies have been super busy creating some fabulous projects to share with you. Please make sure you stop by and visit with all of them, they love getting company.<br />
Anyone who knows me, knows that my second favourite animal (after my Shih Tzu fur-babies) is BIRDS. I love birds. I make use of several styles of bird feeders in my yard, all year long and you can often find me standing on the deck, (even when its -25 C), watching and photographing the different birds who come to visit my feeders. I never get tired of watching them, especially when the parents are teaching the babies how to land on my feeders and eat. We actually had a family of Cardinals; Mom, Dad and 3 babies, and I watched all afternoon as Mom and Dad lined up all 3 baby birds on the branch of an evergreen and repeatedly flew back and forth from branch to feeder. Finally, 1 baby gave it a shot, and even though he didn't stick the landing, he tried a few more times, and then success. The 2nd baby eventually tried and with practice, she too finally got it. No way was baby Cardinal #3 trying it though. He hung on when Mom tried giving him a push, then took off back to the tree where I'm sure the nest was hidden. A couple days later, all 3 babies were flying back and forth from that same evergreen branch to my feeder while Mom and Dad looked on with pride.<br />
<br />
Our sponsor for this week's challenge is......some of the Stitchy Angels Design Team with an assortment of terrific prizes they have donated! Can I have a big round of applause for these amazing ladies?!?!<br />
<br />
Well, enough of my bird story, and here is why I even mentioned birds:<br />
