Seeing Spots...Eating Cake

Hello Wonderful Crafters!  

It is so awesome of you to stop by.  It's a busy time of year for so many of you out there.  End of year activities, graduations, etc... In Florida, our school year ends around this time.

So hopefully, you've been able to sneak in some crafting here and there.  

Since school is out for me, I am able to sit at my desk and get my mojo going.

Wags 'n Whiskers has a new challenge!

Seeing Spots

**Please read all of the rules at the top of the blog.**

One lucky participant will win a free Wags 'n Whiskers Rubber stamp!

You don't have to use a Wags 'n Whiskers image on your card, but if you do, you will be entered into a 2nd drawing for a free Wags 'n Whiskers Digi.

On to my card:

 I'm using Magali.  She is stamped onto watercolor paper and colored with Twinklin' H2Os.  I then had her cut out with the Silhouette.  Pretty awesome.

I really like this color combo.  I've used it quite a few times: Betty Boop,  Animal, Ninja, Meow, and on the Bingo card I used the same stamp.

Card Details:

Base - PTI White

DP - Retired DP SU Rockabilly

Leaves - My stash

RicRac - My stash

This next pic I took without flash.

 The next pic is with flash - so you can see the texture of the leaves better.

The Sentiment is from Ginger's House.  Go check out her blog.  Free word art everyday!

40 Years a Child?

Hello my dears out there in the digital world!  Happy New Year!  I hope 2014 was good to you - and if not I pray that 2015 is so much better.  May it be blessed and filled with love and happiness!

I have not posted in a while.  To be honest, I had lost my creative mojo.  I just didn't really have it in me to do anything creatively.  I tried.  I sat down at my desk and tried to look at blogs and see if it gave me some inspiration.  Nothing.

So I read.  Lots. of. books.  Seriously.  Lots.  There is an app called Overdrive.  I was able to download ebooks from my local library.  Which I did.  A lot.  It was awesome getting into some good mindless stories, some mysteries and even some historical fiction.  Some of them even made me tear up.  I did miss crafting though.  

I figured it was the New Year and I AM supposed to be part of the Wags 'n Whiskers Design Team.  I mean, mojo IS required for that.  So I found some.  

And speaking of DT - how about a challenge!  The new one on the Wags 'n Whiskers blog is:

Anything Goes!

Make sure you read the challenge rules that are posted at the

top of the Wags 'n Whiskers blog.  

One lucky participant will win a free Wags ‘nWhiskers Rubber Stamp!

You don’t have to use a Wags ‘n Whiskers image on your card, but if you do, you will be entered into a 2^nd drawing for a free Wags ‘n Whiskers Digi!

Here is my card:

 I am using the stamp Bubble Fun.  She looks like she is having fun.  She is on watercolor paper and colored with Twinkling H2Os.  

 Other card details:

Solid Papers used: SU Pacific Point; SU Daffodil Delight

DP: K & Company

Ribbon: Stash
Butterfly: I made it using Mod Podge Mod Melts.  I then painted it with blue acrylic and added some red glitter.  Simple little embellishment.
The blue bubble embellishment is something new I found at AC Moore.  They are from Queen & Co.   They had all kinds of colors.   You can use them as bubbles or water drops.  I like the way it looks. 

The sentiment is perfect and true.  It is from the lovely Ginger from Ginger's House.  

Great word art.  Definitely check her out.
