I have actually had a little time in my 'girl cave' today! And I have loved every minute of it! Let me show you what I've accomplished!
* * * * *
First, for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge, this cute little guy called to me! The challenge was to use SNOW someplace on our card for a "Snowtacular" challenge! The image & sentiment is TAC's "In the Snow" set. I used Tombow Markers, Sparkly Fluff, Stampin'Up's Bashful Blue (for the sky), and my Starburst Clear and Silver Glitter pens.
* * * * *
Next, is a sympathy card. Sadly, DD's high school choir director lost her dad over the holidays. If that wasn't enough, their long time family dog also died a few days prior to her father's passing. Here is the card I made for Sue and her family...
I will sumit this to:
Flutterby Wednesday - (use butterfly, angel, or fairy on card)
Stamp Something - (Anything goes)
Creative Card Crew - (Anything Goes)
Charisma Cardz - (Anything but Christmas)
* * * * *
Last, but absolutely NOT least, is this darling image from The Digi Kitty!
In celebration of reaching 75 followers, The Digi Kitty posted this free, (yup FREE) digital image! This was just too much fun to pass up!
If you haven't been to the Digi Kitty's site, you must make the trip - their images are just delightful!
I did some paper piecing, and used a bit of glitter here and there, and I like the way it looks!
The next view shows all of the layers that I used. I printed and cut out this image several times to make it really pop off the page!
Here's how the card turned out!
Used a Martha Stewart edge punch, scraps of DP, and the image/frame is from Inkadinkado.
I will submit this to:
The Digi Kitty - (Use this image!)
My Time to Craft - (Anything goes)

So...I hope that you saw something here today that gave you a smile! I feel like it's been forever since I sat at my work table. I'm now getting ready to being the dreadful monthly reports for DH's business, so I may be scarce for the next few days. If I don't get to your blogs, trust me, it's not because I wouldn't rather be blurfing than doing monthly reports...lol!!!
