Well, It's been awhile...

since I posted! It's been one of those weeks or I should say several weeks!

Whew!  Between things needed for my 6 kiddos, everyday stuff, church stuff  and getting ready for our upcoming homeschool year...I am wiped out, but gotta keep going, so I will!

I guess God knew I needed to chill from being online, so he did something with my internet service for  about 4 days.  I panicked at first, but after the first day settled into being off line pretty well.  It's now time to play catch up. Crafting has taken the back seat this summer, but I hope to have more time once things calm down (uhh-hmmm IF things calm down)!!

Okay, so today I have 3 things for you...

A Day For Daisies

This image...Together Today is part of Tammy's new release, "Together"

 You can find the other new images and the fab cards designed by the other ADFD Designers HERE.

Good Morning Everyone!

I have two things for you today...The Deconstructed Sketch

Hey Everyone!
I have another Deconstructed Sketch for you!  Yippee!!

I completely forgot to add the 3 little somethings up on the right hand corner of the card. Bummer...especially since I love candy dots and brads! Oh wee, at least I got to color and boy was it fun.  I colored Krista Smith's Image: Lolita, A Ragamuffin Waiting for the Fairies. You can find her and her friends HERE in Krista's Saturated Canary Digi Shop. I also used a sheet of My Mind's Eye designer paper out of their MME Happier 6x6 Paper Pad.

Colored Saturated Canary

Ok, so if you frequent my blog then you know my favorite part of Paper Crafting/Card Making is COLORING

I LOVE to color!

I have had these sensational images by the AMAZING artist, Krista Smith for a bit now, but have been struggling to find time to get the card constructed, so I decided...

why not show you the colored images pre card application!!?!?!?

I mean the colored image is the BEST part of the card anyway!

Right?!?!!?

So here goes...

Please meet Pink Punkette,  Baby Jake,  Copica and Stroppy Beth (who to me...looks so so much like my Ella)

Not necessarily, the pose although she does pout, but the image itself, her hair, her eyes, her lips...that sweet lil' face...this little girl looks like my Ella!

See...

Be sure to head over to Krista's Etsy Shop for more Saturated Canary Images!
