FINALLY - Some *Free* Crafting Time! :)


Happy Thursday everyone!

Anyone want some white stuff?  I know I shouldn't be complaining because we desperately need some moisture but I just HATE the mud and yuck that goes along with the melting snow...  I'll get over it but I cannot WAIT for the sun to come back out.  :)

I haven't had much crafting "free" time lately - between DT cards and work and trying to keep everyone fed and clothed and my trip, this is the first time in a LONG time I have had time to to a CURRENT challenge!  And, OH, how I've missed them...  :) 

I found the Play Date Cafe's new color combo and LOVED the soft, soothing, BOY colors and KNEW what stamp I was going to use - another one of Totally Stampalicious's new releases!  I paired it with a new-to-me challenge, a sketch from CCEE Stampers, and got to work!




Recipe - Stamps: Sean Bugaboo Brat, Stella Birthday (Totally StampaliciousInk: Versafine Onyx Black, Baja Breeze, Bashful Blue  Paper: Bashful Blue, Baja Breeze, SU! DP, Very Vanilla  Accessories: Curved Rectangles Nestabilities, hodgepodge hardware, paper piercer, grosgrain ribbon, Copics, sponge dauber, clear embossing powder

I'm going to try and knock another one out before I have to head off to work - the kids have requested meatloaf for supper so I need to get that ready for them to put in the oven later.  :)  Enjoy your Thursday - thanks for stopping in!
