My Monday is really feeling like a Monday and it's only daylight;

this may be a high grass day.

God impressed upon me an analogy/metaphor (depending on how I explain it)

 that I refer to now and again.

You still have to mow the grass...but some days the grass is higher.

It may be higher only in some spots, or throughout the entire day.

Either way, keep on mowing the grass.

High grass just takes a little more strength and endurance.

Thanks for stopping by, my friends~

Thankful for You

 

I created with a color challenge and photo challenge in mind today~

Oh, the mirror cardstock HAS me, I know. ;)

Tonic Studios Cardstock (Burnished Rose, Rustic Dust, Seafoam Green), Pink & Main Slimline dies, Altenew Holiday Flower sentiment, Erin Lee Creative Triangle Collage die, Stamplorations Seriously die, Darice large snowflake, Papertrey Ink Winter Penguin snowflake, Technique Tuesday Snowflake die

 

This photo challenge had me so excited, because I had just received my order that had Tonic Studios BURNISHED ROSE and Rustic Dust.

I also used some Seafoam Green to partially mimic the colors of the photo.

I literally created both cards at the same time~it takes the pressure off one card.

I find if I'm assembling more than one card, I'm not overthinking and it feels more organic.

Maybe it's because I have multiple children I had to raise at the same time...HA!

I don't know, but it works for me.

Thank you for stopping in to see me today~

It's a Bad Idea

Saw this sentiment and loved it.

It's been awhile since I've used unmounted stamps.

Katzelkraft Relax sentiment, Papertrey Ink Brushed Off Square die, Brutus Monroe Aqua Pigments/Cardstock (Harvest, Mustard Seed, Slate), Lifestyle Crafts Maple die

I created this Aqua Pigment panel at the Brutus Monroe store (rescheduled craft day) , how fun is that?

 

I've never used aqua pigments collaged on a panel before.

 I'm glad I went;

I had fun getting messy and it was a good time. ;)

Treat Yo Self

I have a confession.

I'm addicted to Mirror Card stock now.

I could cut a slab of it, stick it on a card, and send it with nothing else.

You'd be hooked too!

ha!

But, I went with snowflakes and I've been cutting shiny snowflakes for DAYZZZZ.

Nice to see you today~

Fields of Joy

Hero Arts Tulip Field, My Favorite Things Wonky Stitched Circles, Avery Elle Double Pierced Rectangles

I know you're probably wondering why I chose this card to enter for the "Adventurous" theme. :)

Well, when my family visited the Netherlands many years ago, it was a HUGE adventure.

I had littles, and planning a whole weekend which included several tourist attractions and living arrangements was daunting, to say the least.

 We had to rent a house because a family of five doesn't easily find a hotel room in Europe, just sayin'!

We had the best photos and memories from that trip.

 I had to snatch this Hero Arts set when I saw the gorgeous tulip fields and windmill!

Check out this fun photo prompt:

The blue balloons had me go in the direction of a raindrop/snowflake mix of blessings.

The mirror cardstock represents the blue (when light doesn't hit) and all the beautiful colors of the streamer when light gets involved.

I can't stop touching this paper! It's amazing. ;)
