I must appologize for the colouring.. my copics are not with me... so would you believe I am using the grandkids markers, crayons and pastels.. a combo of all of them and still not close to copics.. they really are amazing and shouldn't leave home without them.

So glad I could share this one with you... and many thanks for

memories along the way.

With tears in my eyes I share with you today

Meljen's Digital Design has a fabulous idea to share with all their members.

It was to share memories.

I thought it was truly amazing idea and I just got the post that I won...

the Fisher Moose digi which was made in memory of

Melissa's Dad... Keith L Smith.

Everytime I use the digi I will now think of my DAD.

Reading it again brought tears to my eye. I'd like to share what I wrote about my dad.

"what a fabulous idea...my memories are of my dad who has been gone since June 1988... he was an amazing supportive friend, father and I am so glad my boys got to know their grandfather. He was always popping in, visiting, helping, giving advise, helping with something that needed fixing, and above all fun and loving. He is dearly missed."

Thanks all those at Meljen's Design.. it was amazing to share memories and I am sure everyone had fabulous memories of those close to the heart... for the rest of you out there take time today and remember someone close to your heart.

Meljen's Design Digital Challenge #34

is sparkle and shine .. the more the better.

I thought it would be fun to make a Christmas tag with lots of glitter,

stickles, foil papers in layers,

glossy accents with white glitter powder over the snowman to make him shine too

and finish it off with a great christmas coloured ribbon.

Meljen's Digital Design Challenge #33

This is just the cutest worm and apple.

We Scrap also had a challenge to use a frame

and also use a font background. I didn't have any

stamped the sentiment font many times.

The frame was perfect for this Meljen's Design digi.

No better way to celebrate then with food.

Multi tasking this card was fun.
