Belated Birthday Card

Well here it is January and like usual I'm running behind. This is a very belated birthday card for a swap I was in - last year. I finally got it done and sent. I popped the cake so it would really stand out. Unfortunately photos just don't do the original artwork justice. Hope you and the recipient like it!

Polka Dots and Seeing Spots

I've gotten a hold of some more images from Bugaboo Stamps and have been having fun playing! I'm going to enter this one for a spotty challenge.... Wish me luck!  I really like how my copic coloring and shading is finally coming along. I'm really pleased with how the balloon turned out.

Late Christmas Card

Here's a very belated Christmas Card I made and sent - overseas.  It was for a gal in the House Mouse group - so I figured it needed to be one of their images. I had so much fun creating this card. It really just came together for me. I used the new Wonky Squares from Spellbinders - and they were perfect. The only challenge I had was putting the bling on the card. It kept sticking to my fingers, to itself.... it's going to take some practice.

Blogging

Ok. I know I said in my last post that I was going to BLOG about my attitude of gratitude. Well scratch that. I've started a paper journal and am not going to bore you with all of that here.  This is a scrappy blog - that's what it was created to be and what it shall remain.  So don't bug out on me.  More crafting projects will be showing up very soon.  I promise!

Gratitude Attitude

Wow! Here it is 2011 already. Happy New Year!  I was just reading a blog earlier and came across this idea.  Well, actually I've had the idea before, now it just has a name.  This will be a simple practice of blogging about one thing I am grateful for each day.  I know there are lots of things and people for whom I am grateful.  However, I really need to focus on this more this year and in the future.  Why not start now?!


So.... getting started.  1/1/11. Today I am thankful for a day to do absolutely nothing with my husband and boys. We all sat around in our jammies, played games, talked, snacked, snuggled each other and our pets and just had a wonderfully relaxing day.  Here's a picture of my little dog. She's a good snuggler and loves loves loves to play with her ball.


Well.  There. I did it.  I got started and now to keep it going.  That was easy!

Happy Halloween!

This card was made from a freebie image from Bugaboo. I just love love love her images! I colored Frankie with my Copic markers. I figured he definitely needed the googly eyes! The background paper was made from Core'dinations paper - I crumpled it and some of it tore. Perfect background for Frankenstein. The inside of the card says "Have a Spook-tacular Halloween!"
