Small update on what I’ve been up too.

Image
It’s been awhile!  Had some medical things come up last 2 weeks, it’s been hard to do anything, but I’m mending.   Can’t do as much just yet, but I did get a layout done!  I also have the layout from my latest post for CutCardstock.com, and a new one all ready for the 18th! Here is my latest CutCardstock project, details can be found on their blog!   Today I did a layout using CVS Legendary collection.  It’s an older picture of one of my nephews, it’s one of my favorites.   He was so silly!   He still is, just a bit..... taller, now ❤️ Turning the background cut file into a giant shaker was fun.   Kinds wishing I would have had a few sections glued down to keep some in all the areas, but oh well.   I’m still love it ❤️

So, I haven’t done much since the Wedding Blog hop, and I need to start working on my next CutCardstock DT project, I’m thinking Whiteout!  They are my favorite ❤️ Here are a few sneaks of a few things I have in the works for the April Creative Challenge.   Which is now just Creative Challenge.  I’m going to leave it April, cause it’s done, I just need to finish a few things outside of the daily prompts 😁 Thanks for stopping by!   I really love ombré and rainbows right now.   And I totally have fallen in love with Nuvo Expanding mousse!   Still need som practice with it, but not bad for a first time. Butterflies and watercolor blowing!  Going to try this with some different shapes and the blowing going every direction.   I Love learning from Vicki Boutin.   If you don’t already, go follow her, she’s awesome!  ❤️❤️ Stamping isn’t one of my favorites, however, I am being drawn over to the dark side, cause I love ...
