Hello friends! I'm going out shopping with my daughter today. I have Crohn's disease, and my weight fluctuates based on how my health is. I was super sick for a couple of years and when I finally got it under control with my new medication, I put on about 20 pounds in the last year. I don't mind really, I just hate feeling fat when I try to squeeze into things that don't fit me! So I'm going to keep bins with different sizes so I can just pull out the bin when I lose/gain weight! Wish me luck today!
I've got 2 cards to share today - this first one is for the following challenges:
Crafter's Cafe #316 - Anything Goes/Optional Stripes or Spots
AllSorts #817 - Anything Goes/Optional Shades of Blue
I created my background by spraying Distress Stains on watercolor paper, then misting with water and drying with my heat tool. My stamps are from My Favorite Things, the Precious Pals set, stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored them all with alcohol markers and white pen, then fussy cut and attached with foam dimensional squares. I used a piece of specialty paper from Tonic Studios called Snowbound to stamp the sentiment on.
................................................
I'd like to enter my 2nd card into the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Shake it Up
Two Old Bats - Anything Halloween Goes
Girlz Creative Fun Art of Scrap #6 - Anything Goes with Designer Paper
Halloween Crafts All Year Round - Anything Halloween Goes

I used some fun papers from DCWV called Mysterial for the background as well as the die cuts. I layered a piece of DP behind the cauldron shaker die and then used foam dimensional tape to attach the die cut "BOO!" sentiment over the cauldron. I stamped out my adorable witch from The Greeting Farm's It's Spooky set (it was a special set exclusively available through Simon Says Stamp last year) with Versafine Black, embossed with clear embossing powder, colored with alcohol markers, fussy cut and attached with foam dimensional dots. Peace.
A fun card with all those little animals, many thanks for sharing another with us at Allsorts challenge.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your retail therapy, up's and down's seem to be one of the down sides of Crohn's it seems, I tend to go the other way which is equally frustrating.
