Happy Pawther's Day

Today we start a new challenge at Catch the Bug and the theme is "The Man, The Myth The Legend".  Now I had my Father's Day card done so I made a card for my daughter's partner.  And since they have a dog together I used, Guy Walking Dog and made my own sentiment. She loved it!
On a sad note for the Catch the Bug DT, I just want to let you know that earlier this week my fellow DT member Julie Temple passed away from surgery complications. She will be greatly missed for her wonderful creations and sweet personality. Hugs and prayers go to her family.

Here is a one layer card with lots of clouds made with a stamp set from Lawn Fawn called Plane and Simple. I am trying to get out of my comfort zone of making layered cards to making more one layer and CAS cards. I feel like a fat person wearing a bikini. There is NO patterned paper, yikes. And I lived.

Birthday Wishes Balloon Bear

Hope you had a Happy St. Patrick's Day if you choose to celebrate. I am far from Irish, but I had to wear some wild green stretch leggings that made me look like a leprechaun today, lol.
Today at Catch the Bug we had a new release of  Balloon  Bear 02. For this I kept it simple with stenciled clouds, Glossy Accents on the balloon, and sentiment from My Favoritey Things.  And it had to be green for St. Patrick's Day, hehehe.

Stay safe in this crazy time!  It's never been a better time to stay inside and craft!

Wild leggings for today, lol.

Bear Angel Tag

Today at Catch the Bug it's Anything but a Card and I made a tag using Jesse Bear Angel Star Cloud and a sentiment from TLC, Create. Jodie has the image on sale this week. I stenciled the clouds on the tag the added the image and sentiment. Thought it would be perfect for a baby gift or shower.

I'm not going!

Today at Catch the Bug is New Release day and we have Ruby No Chocolate.  I outlined the cloud in Sakura jelly glitter pen. Then did layers of white cardstock and blue vellum for her clouds. I have been diabetic since the age of 11 so I don't crave chocolate unless it's peanut butter cups. Now they have Skippy Bites which I am totally addicted to and have every day on my morning break which are just balls of peanut butter.  And I think many of us feel we wouldn't go if they didn't have ink pads, lol. I do have friends that wouldn't go if there  wasn't chocolate so at least I have people to give the card to, hehe.

Fishing for your heart

I have this image from QKR and I improvised it for Valentines and made my own computer sentiment.  I used My Favorite Things cloud stencil for the sky.  Then I added an anchor die with some hearts.  It's just my sick sense of humor.

AI Love is in the air!

I've had this stamp for quite some time, and finally decided I better get him inked.  When my husband and I were first married he had a pair of boxers like these so I just find this so funny.  Unfortunately, he passed away but this is how I see him as a cupid at this time of year anyway, hehe. He had a wonderful sense of humor so he would find that funny.  For the background, I used a cloud stencil from "My Favorite Things".
