 favorite pet/animal.
We are having all kinds of fun with all the animal choices.I have chosen a bear.Mine has gotten into the coffee.He gets a little grumpy when he doesn't get his first cup after hibernating.LOL.That great sentiment is from Graphicat Designs.Hilarious hey ? ? I still chuckle.
I made a canvas with my bear.I had so much fun with last week's challenge of 3D, I continued.



So I do hope you join us ! !

Believe

I made this card for a special friend.Well I do have a lot of  special friends that I would love to send .But this friend  just needs it .Sometimes it's nice to hear it....That's why I love this sentiment from Lili of the Valley.Believe that you are Wonderful.
I teamed it up with this image.She is so sweet.I also got to use the Bo Bunny papers "Gabrielle".Man do I love this line.

This is the inside....

The sentiment is a Tim Holtz stamp...forgot I had this.SHAME SHAME ! !As is the corner stamp which I used on the front as well.

Visitor...

I don't have  a card to show you but I do want to share some pics of a visitor recently visiting my craft room. Meet "TAP OUT"...he is about 6 weeks old. He decided to come up onto my table.Here in the first pic he's gnawing on my Copics(BAD almost DEAD kitty.LOL)

Here he's checking out my flowers..good thing there is lids on them. 

And here he's pooped out,my youngest daughter Emma brought him her little deco pillow from her bed .It's funny cause that pillow couldn't be any more then 8" wide and that kitty is quite tiny yet he looks huge!!

Welcome back ,this is my second post today so do keep scrolling down if you missed it.
Today at High Hopes Challenge ,the DT's have gone 3D.Yep the theme is to create
a 3D project .
We would like to see things like bags, boxes etc.Something different than a card.We like to mix it up!LOL.

Today I created a clipboard.I had intentions of giving it away here but unfortunately my daughter has confiscated it.LOL.Guess she liked it.Anyhoo I used Dragonfly,Super Dragon and Pogoin' Dragon (Heehee like that name)

Here's the close ups....


Don't forget to hop over to the rest of the DT's blogs and check out their fab projects. I can't wait to see your fab projects as well. Have a great day!

Congrats Grad Kitty

Well it's Tuesday.It's time for another Challenge at Scrap-Creations.Our theme this week is GRADUATION.
Today I used my Stampavie stamp of this cute little Grad kitty.I also used the fab sketch from Sketch Saturday for this card. Loved this sketch,may have to use this again. Well truth be known ,I do reuse sketches.They are a fab way of getting your inspiration on your card even if sometimes you don't always follow thru with the complete sketch.lol.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting.Be sure to come back again for another post for High Hopes Challenge.
