Stretch-ing my Creativity

These yoga cards are part of a series of 5! 

 I just got up off my bum (arse, buttocks, @ss) to see if I could really stretch like this... and you know what?  I can.  It felt good, I think know I need to do more, they are called Uttihita Trikonasana.... extended triangle! 

I'm also stretching my creativity... with the simple doodled stick figure, but I also did the my own hibiscus background paper.  One Saturday, after cleaning the house and getting the laundry started and while listening to a football game.... I sat down and doodled a whole page (8-1/2" x 11") of pink and mauve and reddish flowers.  And then I did a One Sheet Wonder(OSW) and took that background page and only made 5 of the 10 possible card layouts. 

For you non-cardmakers.... sorry if this is a bit technical (ha ha) Cardmaking technical?.... but bottom line.... I made 5 simply adorable cards for a friend to give as a gift.... for someone who is 'pink' savvy..... they are a survivor! 

And if I can spread a little sunSHINE and

Brighten Someone's Day....

I will stretch my creativity... because you know what? 

I can!!!!

Flowers & Butterflies in the Middle of Winter

- Leaving a Mark
- End of the week that means the beginning of the weekend

I knew I wanted to re-create the card below, because I just loved the look. But wasn't quite sure how to do it.... so I went back to the archives of Stampin With Markie's Mom and had fun looking at some of her 'older' designs. Her work is very time consuming with all the layers, the dots and intricate groupings. But it is fun to try!!

Over the past few days I just went from blog post to blog, finding cards with this similar flower and butterfly theme and just had fun playing with it all.

Week of weather: snow, rain, freezing rain, sunshine, gloomy, full moon.... now -8 degrees!! Surprise, my back is feeling better, but it's pain is being hidden my back pain from shoveling... so hopefully that will heal, and I will be able to tell if the other pain is gone? Are you ready for some football???

Okay, I had to see if my new signature posted, and to see what the new template layout of my blog would look like. What do you think?? I just had to add another post for the day, to see if it actually worked. I think it did. Of course my DH had to help me because I couldn't figure out the dang %$#@!! instructions!!

Here is a cute card I was *inspired* to create. I cut out the butterflies and cuttlebugged the background with Swiss dots! Trying to work with the SU! scallop punch, not sure if I like it, but I will keep trying.
