OMG it's been FOREVER since I have posted here.  I had such great intention at the beginning of the year and then well that never happened.  It's been quite a year as you would know if you follow me on Youtube. But it's not the same to actually post a story here. Anyway I needed to make a b-day card and the image from the East Wind was just PERFECT for this!  You can find her here .  I don't color much with my copics anymore.  Some of my markers are clogging up.... sad really.  I have been doing so much more mix media. The paper that I used is probably discontinued before  but it was Kaiser Craft Lush.  You might still be able to find some on E-bay.  That's the best to find the stuff that you can't get your hands upon.  That or maybe some destashing.  I think this was the 1st time that I used that paper pack!  How bad is that?!?  I know I used to do so many more cards than I do now.  Now I mostly do videos about...

ohhhhhh I'm soooo excited to be able to participate in the blog post of  Sparkle and Glitter challenge  as a designer for the Elite team of RSD!!!!  It's a true honor to be part of this fabulous team!!!!

I needed to make a Birthday card to someone who looooves bunnies!  And I figured what a better way than to use the great  Running Bunny   to do so.  He's supposed to be for Easter but you can see that he can be used for all sorts of occasions :) So here's my card with him!  I registered for the class over at  Kit and Clowder  and just HAD to do the bunny one so that I could practice on him.  I'm pretty happy with those results!

Hello everyone!  I'm finally blogging my last card for a freebie challenge over at Smeared and smudged .  Now I have no clue what happened... but was the awesome freebie at the beginning of the month... and now I see that it's something else.  So I'm confused...and therefore will enter this in the anything goes challenge that they have going on so that I can get my fab image for free for the month of June! While it's very weird what happened... it's a fab image that comes from the set Shift my gears and I really love the vintage feel to this.

I was in front of the fireplace this morning and really really didn't want to go outside..... I would have crafted inside all day.  But I ended up shopping and taking care of cleaning... Maybe more crafting in store tomorrow. But I still managed to make a card with a wonderful freebie that I have found on "The stamping Chef" on FB .  You can also find some fabulous freebie on the blog here .
