I love the red and greens in this photo!

Polka Dot Texture with Copic Markers

I dabbed Copic dots on the Rosie Posie leaf and worked my way up the card.

Tuesday Trigger: Scene in Tangerine

 I splashed my favorite DP from BoBunny across the card and trimmed with a lighter peach border to mimic the colors here.

The scalloped peach border is inspired by the movement of the ric rac.

COOL mIXy MaTcHy

I used to be intimidated by patterned paper.

Now...not so much.

ESPECIALLY since Mixy Matchy is IN now!

You CAN'T go wrong.

Well, maybe you can...but it will be harder to notice!  LOL ;)

I created this for

The Mixy-Matchy Style Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

I not only mixy matched patterns...but FIVE different paper companies as well.

WOOT!  WOOT! ;)

I'll say I've come a long way~

Up Up

I had a bit of fun with some paint I found on clearance at Walmart.

I just brushed paint on the patterned paper.

After assembling, I trimmed the excess from the card and added it as an embellishment.

It is a rainy, gloomy day here...but since our air conditioning is down~I'll take it!  

It means more indoor craft time since outside chores have to wait. ;)

Have a blessed day friends!

MOODY AND OVER THE EDGE

Yesterday was my "white space" day.



There was minimal stress and lots of home time for me.





Hence this white space card for

Monday Mood Board #14 and CAS-ual Fridays:CFC106:Over the Edge.

Aaaahhhhh, tiny details and soft colors are great for the soul.

Ooooohhhh!


I got blessed with a quirky moment~hee hee!



I had just stepped out of a grocery store (a quick list counts as simple!) and was ringing my husband on the cellphone.


Right when he picked up ....a beautiful Pomeranian pitter-pattered  through the parking lot and made a bee line into the grocery store.


It was like, a THOUSAND steps for it to get there, by the way. ;)


I matched my husband's greeting with, "Woah! I just saw a wild Pomeranian run into the store."


I stepped back to get a better view of the fun (that was one fast pup...I knew it would take time to snatch him).



A few seconds later...this tough looking fella marched outta there with that cute Pom at his heel.


I don't know which was more of a surprise to me...


Stray Posh Doggy Runs Through Store  


or


 Posh Doggy Retrieves Scary Tough Owner.


Either scenario was fun. ;)



I love when God lets me witness offbeat (outside of my home...).



It's just a reminder that we're ALL weird and don't fit that box.




Just sayin'. ;)

CHILLAX

I needed to chillax.

Seriously.

I'm so glad I got some crafty time in....I was inspired by Carol's recent comment, wishing me some card-making time.

What an encouraging blogger, I tell you!

Crafting DID just the trick and gave me some much needed "me" time. ;)

SUMMERTIME FUN

 The Play Date Cafe #186

 I feel a bit out of practice blogging~maybe since I've been stretching outside of my comfort zone lately.

I've been "out there" so much...that I haven't had much "inner thought time" for myself.

I'm more of an "inny" than an "outy", so I hope to get some down time soon to be reflective. ;)

If not, I get grouchy and whiny.

Stay afloat, my friends...STAY AFLOAT if you are also drowning in lots of activity.

May YOU get some much needed crafty/reflective time in!

Blessings~
