I had a chance to play last evening. I broke out my “just for fun” AB.
Since I was in a sort of playful silly mood…likely because my sweet husband took the kids out and gave me some much needed peace…I threw down this fun polka dot tissue paper.
It just made me smile so I included my feelings of the moment. Or maybe it was just the wine.
Just kidding!!
For some reason I had a hard time with a child theme ATC.
I think it was because I wanted to use this image but it was so long and narrow that it was hard to work with in ATC size. Anyway, I am happy with my end result.
This ATC was made with aluminum HVAC tape randomly placed on a recycled cereal box. I then sanded it then smeared on some paint. After the paint was dry, I sanded again revealing the metal tape. I stamped the stems with Staz-on ink.
I finished my tip-ins for the Imperfection swap. They were fun and fast to do once I decided on a design.
I’ve been into houses lately so it seemed logical to me. I had the “New Perfection” stamp from Stampin’ Up! (no affiliation) and thought it would make a great flag.
It suddenly occurred to me that I hadn’t posted my last 4×4’s.
They are currently flitting there way off to Tennessee along with the rest of the colors.
Well, I got something completed today! I wasn’t sure that was going to happen. My folks came by to take me out for my birthday …yes…
!Mi cumpleaños es el cinco de mayo! … now where’s my margarita!
All- in- all, it was a very low key birthday..which is FINE BY ME. Tomorrow I’ll get a little ME TIME…so, it’s all good.
I’ve completed the next 2 colors in my long term swap. 
I love that I get to use up scraps and the little bits and bobbles I’ve collected over time. It’s really stretching me creatively too…coming up with so many unique designs.
I haven’t decided which one of each color I’ll be keeping yet.
Any opinions?
