Hello beautiful people! It has been quite awhile since I have posted or blog hop to visit with you and I missed you. Where have I been? Well, that is not an easy question for I haven't gone anywhere. I have been here in my own little world doing a whole bunch of nothing. You know sometimes
I wonder just how much I should reveal or share on my blog for anyone or everyone else to read. Should I put my political or religious views? Should I talk opening about problems, health, families, friends or me? Does it really matter or does anyone bother to read what we write. I know my friends do but what about the ones who just blog hop? . Do you forget about the persons blog you just visited or did they write something that caught your attention? I don't know the answers. I am a pretty open person and I do share things for if it helps just one person then it is worth it to me. Have you ever seen the commercial where they say "depression hurts" it is so true and it takes everything you have to climb back up out of a dark hole that has a hold on you. The past few days I have been able to see the light again and oh gosh it feels good. Abbie, my granddaughter and I had manicures, pedicures and our hair cut today. We were pampered and we loved every minute! This afternoon, I grab a cup of coffee, sat out in the sunshine with the grandkids and dogs running all around - heaven!
This is a card I made for my grandson, Travis who turned 11 this year. Guess what? Everything on this card was cut out with my Cameo, Silhouette including the digi! Look how good it cut him out right up to the line and you can learn how to do this in the current issue of
Through The Craft Room Door! The stars and Rock star were also cut with the Cameo...I love this machine. I even took an rubber stamp, stamp, scanned and cut it out with my Cameo to perfection! Anyhow Travis will always be a rock star in my eyes! He is one character who has you laughing all the time!

Your card rocks! Your coloring is spectacular as are your cuts. Great background for your image. Thanks for bringing your project to Jackson's Digital Expressions.
Oh, gosh, Colleen, this card is just fabulous! I love the bright colors and papers. You did a great job coloring the image and it rocks that your Cameo cut it out so beautifully! Love the sparkle finish on this!
Hey, I am glad to see you blogging again! Sometimes we all get into a funk or two. I do understand, believe me! I blog about everyday stuff and try to inject a bit of humor into it. I do stay away from religion and politics, though. Never know when your thoughts can alienate another person. My daughter and I have such opposing views on both subjects that we just don't mention them! LOL! Stop by sometime! :^)

I think YOU are the "Rock Star!" Awesome card, Colleen! I'm glad you are feeling a bit rejuvenated. ;-)

With the help of your friends and family you are seeing the light again as you put it and it is good... Your card is gorgeous, love the image and the strong colours...

Good to see you found some light with your gdaughter and pets - sometimes we all have some 'off' times.......
Lovely card and I know just how you feel about the Cameo - they are such fun to use!! The only downside is that I now have so many projects on my 'To Do' list :)
:) I am very happy to hear you are having such a great time with the kids....I know that when I have the wonderful JOY of grand kids it will help to brighten my days too!!!
Hope you are otherwise doing well and enjoying our final days and weeks of Summer. I love it, but I'm ready for Fall...but never for Winter!!!
I am off today for some pampering...a hair appointment then a nice Spa Pedi this afternoon. It's something I lOVE and a perfect way to feel better!!
