Random Thoughts

What a busy week. I have been back and forth to the vet for my little dog Kelsey... She has not been feeling well. So I have been trying to keep her comfortable. She has been with me for over 12 years now so the thoughts of losing her have crept upon me. I get pretty emotional thinking about it but am trying really hard to stay positive and trust in the Vet. By the way...Isn't she cute??? Not bad looking for her age! 7 dog years for each human year x12= 84. Wow... That coversion must not be right.

Now on the other things...
I created a little Mardi Gras mask With Corediantions Black Magic Papers, embossing folders and some bling. If you have not had the opportunity to play with it, you need to. I am going to be doing a Give-Away of some of the Vintage Papers next week. So all of you lurkers out there... I know there are many, stop back and play. The requirements for the Challenge will be easy!!!

The last image is Another card I did for the CPS sketch. Tami creates some of the best sketches...So fun Go check them out is you get a chance!!!

Pursuit of Craftyness... This blog has been rockin with inspiration. Today Miki has created the most adorable over the shoulder purse... Dang I mat need to make a trip to California to have her show me a tip or two. Head on over to the blog and check out the challenge that Melissa put up and maybe create a Bag of your own with the Tutorial for the purse.

Well off to clean up some of my scrappy mess... and maybe, just maybe I can make a few more things. Tomorrow, I will be posting a favorite project or two of mine... Based of the Spring Renewal I as talking about earlier. I love butterflies... So that may be a hint.

Gina K Stamps

Today I am headed out to play a bit. Kids, DH and I are going to Ridemakerz in the Mall of America. We are then going on some of the rides in the Nickelodeon Theme Park...After wish a necessary stop to IKEA. Wish me Luck!

As a part of the CPS team I had the opportunity to play with this great set of stamps by Gina K.

The first card uses American crafts papers, I pleated the 'ribbon from paper' a tag from Jenni Bowlin. I also stamped on the vellum creating a more 3-d look layering the vellum over the card stock stamped images. Of course I am also a bit in love with my new continuous border punch, threading water, from Fiskars.

The second card uses a bit of Crate paper, Printable cotton, Colorbox ink, COPIC markers-num. The buttons are the clear and white package from buttons galore. It is a great package of buttons, because you can color to match anything you are creating with the Copics. I again Punched the cotton with my punch. Was not sure if it would work...but it did! I then stamped on my twill and tied in a knot. When I distressed the card base, I used a cotton ball. It gave a more defined brush stroke...and I liked that for this.

Random question... What is you favorite color? can you narrow it down??? I know I can't.
