Welcome……. CASology

Happy Tuesday my crafty chica’s…  I decided to do a theme change on my blog you know how it is sometimes you just feel like you need a change. I wanted a style that reflects the new me not the shabby chic look any more. I’m loving my new look hope you like it as well. On another note  enough of my blabbering. I’m playing over on the CASology blog this evening and the cue word this week is Spooky…….. I decided to use this Haunted Mansion  as my focal image with a blended background and the middle with some fog creeping in from the ocean…. that’s a look you would get here in So. Cal…. I also had to create my own sentiment from a Chiller font… So Your invited to take a tour of my Haunted Mansion…… it does look a lil spooky don’t you think. Well we’re almost there it’s Wednesday eve….. Hope you like my take on the cue word… I’ll  be back over the weekend to play some more.

Happy World Card Making Day…….

Happy Saturday….. My crafty Chica’s.. Today is world card making day so I decided to spend some time in the haven making at least one card. I’m playing over on the CASology blog today the cue word  this week is cute…. I decided to go way back and pull out one of my favorite sets. It’s Southwestern Charm by Paper Smooches.  I’m not a big fan of lizards or Geko’s I love this little Geko I think she’s so cute yes I said she because I gave her some eyelashes. I decided to do a dotted texture look with my copics to give her a spotty, splotchy look….. I went out last night down to the pier to shoot long exposures of the ocean had a great time…… Well I have to run I’m going to help my niece with a project for her college Art class…….I hope you get your crafty on today…. and you like my take on the sketch I’ll check you out later with more cards for a few other challenges…..I’m sharing one of the photo’s from last night as well.
