Chase Your Dreams

Dreams. Hopes. Wishes.  We all have them but do we really go after what we want?  I think it's too easy to make excuses so we don't have to work harder for what we really want.  Or maybe we think those things are just way too far out of our grasp.  That they only happen to 'those people' (inserting whatever phrase you would typically use here).  But the reality is that you will never know if you can accomplish something if you don't ever try.  We only get one chance at this life thing, people, and we never know when that chance is up.  I'm a true believer in the 'Bucket List' and I don't think that you should wait until there is a tentative time stamp on your life to begin one.  Where does it say that you shouldn't start to check off those things on your bucket list when you are in your 20s?  I sure wish someone would have planted that thought in my head way back in my 20s. 
Now don't get me wrong here...  I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't be grateful for what you have nor for what you are given.  I just want you to stop and think... Is there SOMETHING that you want to chase but are too afraid to take that leap?  I encourage you to take off after that dream... See where it takes you!

This card reminds me of my niece.  She's in her teens now but when she was very little, she would go over to her grandparents' house and chase the butterflies... What a wonderful way to spend the day... In a beautiful flower bed of Lantana standing taller than your head, chasing pretty butterflies...  Thank you, Kelsey, for that awesome memory!

Pinwheel Card

It was a very productive day today!  My son and I took three loads of stuff to our local Goodwill... More loads going out of here tomorrow.  We are trying hard to clean years of clutter and storage out of our shop.

After all of THAT FUN...lol... I decided that I wanted to play.  Time for another card!  I stamped the pinwheels yesterday.  Then I colored them with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.  I fussy cut them out while watching tv last night (I'm watching all of the Walking Dead seasons again. Love that show!  Cannot wait til Season 5 begins!).

So enough chitter chatter... Here's my card!

I hope you enjoyed today's project!

Your Kindness

Here's the card that I came up with today...  I absolutely love this color combination!  The supplies that I used were a mix of retired stuff from my crafting stash...

Let me know what you think...

Deer Christmas

I'm going to admit something here...

I have a lot of embossing folders that I have had for a long time and I can probably count on one hand the times that I have went to the trouble to use them.  I don't know why because the end result is usually really nice...

So check out this Christmas card that I made some older patterned papers, cardstock and a retired stamp set.  I used my embossing folder to give the background cardstock some texture.  I colored in the stamp set with my water based markers and I love the end result!

I hope you enjoyed today's project.

Now go have a wonderful crafty day,
