See you soon

Hello wonderful people, I apologize for my unannounced absence from blogging, but a last minute trip out of town to visit my parents came up. While I enjoy visiting I can't very well take my entire craft stock with me so I've been in a bit of a creative slump :( . Some people can craft and create anywhere with just a few supplies and I commend them, however, I had the misfortune to find out that I was NOT one of those people. Nope, not even close. I feel so out of my comfort zone so it's taking me a while to come up with anything and its sooooo frustrating! Though I haven't had much time to myself, I have managed to begin work on another card but its incomplete at the moment. Keep an eye on this post I promise there will be a card here by tonight especially since i absolutely LOATH creating posts without at least one picture (it looks so naked!)

I love you all for dealing with my scatterbrained-ness! Thank-you,

On a Role!

I guess I've been bitten by the inspiration bug... Or the excitement bug...wait, is there a such thing as an excitement bug? and if so, is he by chance related to the inspiration bug who happens to be close relatives to the love bug????? Sidetracked? maybe, but it IS something to think about, right? Well i digress, the point is there are so many amazingly inspiring challenges going around that I couldnt stop at just one card today I also created this little darling!

Fleur Anya

Doesn't she just sing spring?! This cutie is Fleur Anya from The Greeting Farm, colored with copic markers. Her flower headband was glittered with waterfall stickles. the cardstock was just a value pack with multiple solid colors. I'm a huge fan of making my own patterned papers so I stamped the yellow papers using a flower stamp I bought a year ago on clearance for a custom paper (it's been my most used of all since).  Darice 'Scrolls' Embossing Folder paired with clear embossing powder on the turquoise paper made a beautiful oceany wave look. But, my most favorite thing about this card would have to be the Plumeria! I love these little flowers they're my favorite and they always make me feel better when I'm down so I figure what better flower to include on a card to just say Aloha! I made a few different sizes, colored the petals with Tim Holtz spun sugar distress ink and Stampin Up! Yo Yo Yellow, and finished the look with a sprinkle of Stickles Dry Fine Glitter in Diamond. all in all I'm very proud of this card and it may be my favorite card, EVER! I plan to enter her into the following challenges,
